In fact, normal people in a normal couple in winter should want each other no less than in summer. Perhaps even more – so conceived by nature. About why in the winter sex is more fruitful, for what reasons it still disappears and how to get it back – in our material.
What is the winter norm?
In the winter months, the likelihood of conception is increased by 28%. Winter sex is the most productive. So set biorhythms among the inhabitants of our latitudes.
The fact is that children conceived from December to February are born from September to November – at the most saturated and laziest time of the year, when the crop is already harvested, there is enough food, and the mother can devote herself to feeding the baby. That is, children conceived in winter and born in autumn have a higher chance of survival than others. This program has been taking shape for millennia.
But in the metropolis, the natural settings are knocked down: we are not only freed from field work and are not dependent on crop species, we are not particularly closely monitoring the change of day or night, because there is sufficient lighting and enough heat (equal, however, as well as sufficient workload) are provided around the clock and year-round.
In addition, almost all civilized couples control the issue of procreation using hormonal contraceptives: tablets allow you to constantly maintain a smooth hormonal background – and women do not have a natural winter surge in libido.
However, ancient mechanisms are not so easily broken in 100-200 years of urban civilization. So if you are planning to increase the family, but have difficulty conceiving, then active sex in the winter increases your chances of becoming parents.
Why do we break the rules
This brief anthropological excursion explains why in the winter the libido does not increase, although it should. But why on earth does it decline?
Avral
Statistically, the most asexual month of the year is December: students have a test session, office workers have annual reports. All this is superimposed on preparation for the holidays (which is accepted by most adults as another tedious duty), reconciliation of tax and utility bills, seasonal shopping … How can you save time and effort? Only on sex!
Darkness
Daylight hours in winter in central Russia do not exceed 7 hours. And we spend all daylight hours at work, suppressing the production of growth hormone (sleep hormone) using electric lighting. Therefore, as soon as the light goes out in the bedroom, growth hormone begins to regain its own – and you fall asleep.
Flour and sweet
Supporters of healthy lifestyles, who continue to go to the gym in winter and eat chicken breast with green salad, do not experience significant changes in their sexual schedule. But most of our fellow citizens still love that in the winter the house smelt of buns with cinnamon and gingerbread cookies. Easily digestible carbohydrates put the body into accumulation mode. And sex is still a rather energy-consuming exercise, it interferes with pacification and accumulation, so the body refuses it.
Warm clothing
No matter how we advocate body-positive and unconditional acceptance, intelligible erotic stimuli are needed for good sex. Moreover, most men are visual (after all, they still love, like 1000 years ago, with their eyes). And most of the women on the street are in shapeless down jackets, and at home in even more shapeless plush pajamas. These pajamas (as well as ginger cookies) cause emotion and peace, but not lust.
How to regain sex
In the fight against winter asexuality, as in any fight, it is better to give up all efforts for prevention than to eliminate the consequences later. Therefore, the best thing you can do is to make sex a must-have item in your emergency winter schedule. Suppose, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, no matter what happens, you must satisfy each other. Yes, this is not very romantic at first glance. But it allows you to hold out until spring in a certain tone and also stimulates imagination. However, reading this article, you may regret to find that prevention was late. And all last month (as well as all the Christmas holidays), if they experienced an orgasm, then only gastronomic. What to do now?
Go to healthy lifestyle
Not very sharply (otherwise there will be no energy left for sex), but still refuse flour and sweets, preferring salads and seafood.
Combine pleasure centers
If a sense of satisfaction was achieved with cinnamon rolls, use the same spicy scents in your erotic games: scented candles in the bedroom, scented massage oils, intimate lubricants with flavors – let the brain tune in for the usual pleasure, but not get it from food.
Have sex in the afternoon
If you manage to get away from work at lunchtime for this, then adrenaline recharge will take your intimate relationships to a whole new level. However, let’s be realistic: we only need to increase the regularity of sex and lower the level of sleep hormones, and not risk a career for orgasm. Try to postpone erotic games in the morning: all healthy men have a morning erection – use it as intended.
