A healthy sex life is a charm in a long-term marriage that must not become dull. Your emotional connection and intimacy should improve as the years pass and you grow older. As a couple learns each other’s likes, dislikes, habits, and interests, sex with your spouse can become more enjoyable.

Life, as we all know, can get in the way. Chores, children, finances, and other concerns can suppress romance. These everyday obstacles can obstruct your desire for sex and your ability to find the time to put in the effort. But don’t put sex at the bottom of your to-do list. There are many reasons to keep sex interesting and prioritize it.

In a healthy sex life, there are feelings of safety, connection, and acceptance. Moving away from thoughts of danger, separation, and shame may take some time, but it is well worth the patience and perseverance.

To constitute good sexual health, couples can take the following measures to keep them sexually healthy.

They Spend Time Together

It can be difficult for the body to respond to sexual stimulation with advancing age. It has been commonly observed in men that poor or no erection happens due to low testosterone levels. Similarly, in women, slower arousal occurs due to a dry vagina. For a healthy sex life, both husband and wife should spend quality time with each other to make their sexual life enjoyable.

They Use Tools

Sometimes individuals may interpret the use of lubricant to relieve dryness or the use of a pillow to prop up their position during sex as an admission that they require assistance to get their partners aroused. However, the inverse is true. You will have a healthy sexual experience if you pay more attention to your partner and comfort.

Try Different Therapies

Many couples consult with certified sex therapists to make their sex life healthier and more enjoyable. They attend various sessions that will help them communicate better and resolve issues that are affecting their intimacy. Moreover, you can also share any thoughts or problems that affect your sexual performance.

Relaxing Methods 

For a healthy sex life, couples have to do something relaxing together, like play a game or go out for a romantic dinner. Alternatively, try relaxing techniques such as yoga or deep breathing exercises that bring passion and enjoyment during sex. 

Try different positions

Developing a repertory of diverse sexual positions might help you overcome challenges and add excitement to your intimacy.

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder

Lack of interest in sexual thoughts, activity, pleasure, and overthinking are the main signs of sexual arousal disorder. Moreover, other symptoms include a lack of physical genital response to sexual stimulation or a complete absence of sexual desire.

To cope with such situations, different methods have been tried, including:

Psychological therapies

Hormonal therapy

Education and special assistance

Specifically for female sexual arousal disorder, a multidisciplinary method would be ideal. The management team comprises physical therapists, pain specialists, psychotherapists, and sex counselors. 

Pink Pill

After two earlier rejections, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Sprout Pharmaceuticals’ drug flibanserin for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), to be commercialized as Addyi in August. It is also known for its famous name, “Pink Pill.” The approval of flibanserin is a huge step forward for the one in ten women who suffer from HSDD, a serious disorder with far-reaching consequences that extend beyond the bedroom.
