Women and sex seem to be the favorite topics of writers these days, mainly because they want to sell a product that is “guaranteed” to increase the libido of women (and also men, by the way). So what is it that makes manufacturers decide that we all need these things if we have reached a “certain age”? Let’s look at some myths that are generally believed.

First of all, men think that when a woman goes through menopause, she will lose her sex drive. This may be true in some cases, but it is certainly not always the case. Men aren’t exactly sure when a woman goes through menopause either, and that’s not surprising, as it happens at different times for us, depending on a host of things, including genetic factors, when we start our periods, and our nutritional intake.

Second, when we’ve been with the same sexual partner for a long period of time, we know what to expect more or less and often we prefer to read a good book rather than have it pounce on us, drift away like a hare and then roll over, almost asleep. It just isn’t too satisfying.

Third, we can be under a great deal of stress; worried about losing our jobs in times of recession, worried about someone younger being promoted above us, worried about our older or younger children and not having much help with our partners’ household chores. We worry about our appearance and the state of our slowly aging body and wonder why anyone would want to have sex with us anyway. In other words, we worry too much about things that we can do little about.

Sex is the only thing that could take our minds off all these worries, but then there’s the hassle of straining ourselves, which will likely be another failure to achieve an orgasm. So is it time to think about those natural creams that claim to stop vaginal dryness, maybe? Well yeah, let’s consider them for a moment. You have purchased a cream that is “guaranteed” to increase your sex drive and also heals vaginal dryness. It is 100% natural, so there should be no side effects. All very well, but the point of these creams is that the gentle rubbing inside the vagina and on and around your clitoris, without a doubt, even without the cream, it should ensure moisture in the required area.

Just stop for a moment and think about having your partner slowly and gently rub your private body parts with or without cream. Imagine those fingers gently massaging those places that are often neglected because your partner doesn’t see the need for foreplay.

Think of those pleasant sensations that run through your entire body when the person you love caresses you with care and consideration. Maybe you understand my point.

You don’t have to spend money on expensive creams to feel like having great sex. What you have to do is have your partner do with you those things that YOU especially enjoy.

To get you both in the mood, why not eat some of those New Zealand green lipped mussels that are in Omega-3 pills? Or eat more oily fish like salmon and mackerel, eat nuts and dried or fresh dates.Omega-3 oils ingested in food work miraculously, to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, cure stiff joints, increase levels of energy and generally give you a feel. Of good health. If you have a healthy diet, you will feel much better about it.

There is a date recipe you can try that is said to work for both men and women, taken in the morning over the course of a week. You put a handful of dried dates in goat’s milk and let them soak overnight. In the morning, remove the seeds from the dates and the small part of the stem and crush them with the seeds of a cardamom pod. Of course, you can mix these ingredients together and add honey to taste with the milk you used to soak the dates. This is a really good energy booster and since dates contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, you are giving your body a real treat. In the West we tend to neglect our nutrition and this leads to all kinds of problems, including loss of libido.

Omega-3 is a great mood lifter and will eliminate sadness because you have so much more energy, especially if you also eat dates.
