Going from 0 to 100 with a partner doesn’t happen in ten seconds. Getting your engine running takes time, and this is also the same when you’re alone, which is why you need to take the situation into your own hands and find ways to boost your libido. From there, you’ll be able to light your flame just as you want. In this article, we will explore ways to turn yourself on.

(1) FORGET ABOUT YOUR TO-DO LIST

Stress can hinder your mood, so before you put off the lights and start getting sensual, try to forget about whatever plans or tasks are on your to-do list. Instead, focus on the present because that’s the only way to create the space for pleasure.

(2) BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR BODY

Many are ignorant of the fact that being comfortable or confident in their body plays a huge role in finding pleasure. Deep breathing, exercising, and spending time outside can help you to feel more relaxed and connected with your body. Before your body can send energy and blood flow to the genitals to become aroused, it needs to be calm enough. So feel free to employ whichever muscle-relieving method you find most effective, whether by getting a professional masseuse, using a massage gun, or using your hands.

(3) ENGAGE YOUR SENSES WITH HOT VISUALS AND SOUNDS

Engaging your senses other than just touch can facilitate the start of arousal, as the brain is the primary source of arousal. A time-honoured classic (ethical) porn may hold the secret to regaining that cosy sensation between your legs. A good audio sex story might be just what you need to get lost in.

 

(4) DO NOT FORGET TO USE YOUR FANTASIES

If your libido needs a pick-me moment, you probably can recall at least one spectacular sexcapade. Allowing your thoughts to wander there can energise your body and focus your attention on the task at hand. Remembering old times can be a definite way to get your engine revved, whether you and your ex had a steamy romp in his car or you banged it out to seductive music on silk sheets. Better still, you can get lost in your imagination. Imagining yourself in that position or kink you want to explore in real life is the best way to turn yourself on.

(5) EXPLORE YOUR BODY

Explore your body if your usual spots aren’t cutting it anymore. Applying pressure to the regions on the right and left of your labia majora, where your leg and pelvis meet, can provide amazing pressure relief. For even better results, try lightly squeezing your nipples and sliding your fingertips over your collarbones. Pay attention to the sensations that work best with your labia, pubic mound, and taint.

(6) MAKE USE OF A SEX TOY

The role of sex toys in enhancing arousal and improving orgasm cannot be underestimated. Whether you use them alone or with your partner, they can be one way to empower your experience.

CONCLUSION

Keep in mind that everyone experiences difficulty getting turned on, and this is very natural. Numerous factors might influence one’s level of sexual arousal. Nonetheless, if your old ways aren’t working, you should prioritise setting aside time to find new things that might turn you on.
