1. You Eat a Lot of Cheese

The things you eat could be lowering your libido. Yogurt, grains, chocolate, and alcohol can ruin the mood, just as much as cheese can.
2. You're Too Stressed out
/filters:quality(70)/content/lb/oo/hor8n7ce582f2ed27bbbd343771607_480x480.jpg)
The more stressed you are, the harder it'll be for you to let loose and have fun with your partner.
3. You're Dehydrated

If you don't drink enough water, you could end up with headaches, fatigue, irritability, and vaginal dryness.
4. You Need More Sleep

If you're tired, you won't have enough energy to kiss your partner, let alone have sex with him.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. You're a Smoker

Smoking can decrease the rate of blood flow to your genitals, which is never a good thing.

You might want to have sex with him before you offer him a slice of cake, because testosterone levels can severely decrease after a blood-sugar spike.
7. Your BMI is Too High
/filters:quality(70)/content/tu/qj/t7uwzagw582f2fe949c35529361616_600x600.jpg)
If you're heavier than your ideal weight, it could mess with your sex life. Dropping one or two pounds could make a huge difference.
If your libido has been lower than usual, the things on this list might be the cause of the change. Are you happy with your sex life?
