The Secret of High-Libido Women: Sensual Activation
How to increase libido naturally and safely.
According to the authors of one study, sexual desire “may be the single most common sexual event in human life.”
It doesn’t always feel that way-especially for the one in four women who experience low libido before menopause.
What constitutes “low” libido, of course, is relative. When partners similarly crave sex, whether every day or every decade, there’s no need to discuss sex drive.
People of all genders can find themselves with partners who desire more sex. However, research shows it happens to women more often.
Women are also more likely to agree to sex even when their libido is low or absent. This can create a cycle where tolerated sex keeps desire suppressed.
On the other end of the spectrum, one in four women has a higher sex drive than the average man.
