Sexual desire in spring - what's behind it?

Winter is slowly but surely over. Some of us are gradually waking up from our little hibernation. We are becoming more active again. This is not only due to the better weather, no, our hormonal production is also changing compared to the darker winter months. The spring emotional carousel slowly starts to turn. A brief explanation of what happens to our bodies and how we can even boost this development naturally is the topic of this article. Of course, this has a significant impact on our sex life, as sexual desire is strongly linked to our hormones.

A new desire for sex awakens in spring

Changed hormone secretion

You may have noticed that your mood suddenly improves as the warm spring months slowly but surely replace the cold season. This is no coincidence. The change in weather has a direct influence on our hormonal mechanisms. The body releases more so-called happiness hormones such as dopamine and serotonin. On the other hand, the sleep hormone melatonin is released in smaller quantities. However, there is no absolute emotional chaos, as is often described in connection with spring fever. This is a myth.

More skin = more desire

We usually underestimate the context. As the weather improves, clothes are understandably skimpier. In winter, if you're lucky, you can just get a glimpse of your body shape. In spring, you can see more skin again, more cleavage and sharply cut contours. This also boosts our mood, which tends to be better anyway. And so we feel like having sex sooner and more often.

Vegetables for (even) more desire

Nevertheless, sexual desire can also be increased naturally. The right diet is the important keyword here. There are many more or less well-known foods that prove that love really does go through the stomach. Various spices and vegetables are particularly suitable for the love boost. Fennel is a relatively well-known example. It makes you feel less depressed and banishes tiredness and listlessness. Chili is probably the best-known spice. It gets the circulation going and the active ingredient capsaicin has a euphoric effect. Chili also increases blood circulation, which is not only interesting for men, but also for women in sexual terms!

Stimulating spices

Ginger has a similar effect. Whether as a tuber or as a spice, you can't go wrong with this ingredient in your food. Another spice that has a strong stimulating effect on the body is cinnamon. The Christmas season may be over, but the effects of this very healthy spice should not be underestimated - and should not be missed. Cinnamon stimulates pheromone production, i.e. the production of sexual attractants.

As you can see, you will probably soon feel more desire for sex. And if that is still not enough for you, you can help a little with the foods described above. Make the most of the season and enjoy your (sex) life! ORION Blogger Mark
