We all might not admit it, but we’d all love to spend more time having sex, right? But that’s the trick, how do you increase your libido as you age? I mean who wouldn’t love to have a lot more intimacy with our partners? The fact is we all lose a little bit of the drive in that sexual engine of ours as we age.
Libido, or more commonly known as your Sex Drive can be vastly different from person to person. Then combined with getting into your 40’s and 50’s, it can even become more erratic when it comes to giving your significant other those come-hither devilish looks. It’s not that you don’t still love that person just as much, it just seems like as you age, getting more sleep is more of a priority than getting it on when the lights go out. Or maybe you’re a lights on person…That’s awesome too! 😉
So, if this intro has gotten your attention and you’ve read this far, let’s look at effective, natural and fun ways that you can increase your libido as you age and push that sex drive into overdrive once again. We’d all like to feel like we’re back in our 20’s and 30’s again where having sex can be anytime, anywhere once more right?
How to Increase your Libido As You Age So You Can Spend More time Having Sex!
1 – Exercise That Body 30-45 mins a day!
What if I told you that lifting those dumbbells 30-45 mins a day or riding your Spin bike can help improve your sex drive and increase your libido as you age? It’s true! Regular exercise whether it’s weights or cardio for both males and females helps immensely! Exercise helps both sexes cope with issues such as low libido and helps increase those natural feel-good drugs in the brain such as Serotonin, Dopamine, and Endorphins which help us all be happier, healthier, and crave sex more!
I know for me, I always feel more energetic when I exercise. A more energetic me is more on the prowl for my beautiful wife, which is healthy for our relationship. It’s pretty simple, move that body to keep it fit and healthy, and in turn, it will take care of you and help you to enjoy more of the fun stuff including sex!
2 – Eat Healthy and Nutritious Food
Do you follow a diet that’s overall pretty healthy? If so, you’re helping your body in so many wonderful ways by fueling it the way God intended, but you’re also fueling your libido! Good nutrition helps promote good healthy circulation and takes care of the heart. Even more so, when you eat healthy you are removing the bad foods from your body which can lead to a decrease in your libido.
When your metabolism is off and cardiovascular disease sets in, your body is affected negatively when it comes to sexual function. Yep, your hormones are all screwed up which creates a situation where the libido becomes next to nothing! So, with all that said, focus on foods such as veggies, foods low in sugars, and consume more lean proteins and healthy fats to help boost that sex drive. Food really can help make or break your libido!
3 – Herbs and Exotic foods
There are strong believers in special kinds of exotic foods and herbs helping men and women increase their sex drive in and out of the bedroom. Take Maca Root for instance, which is believed to provide a boost to the libido. With Maca Root, think boosting energy and endurance along with helping reduce erectile dysfunction! All things that help the good ole Sex drive! I consume a little Maca Root daily in my Shakeology! See our article on Shakeology HERE >> The Convenient Superfoods Solution! .
Other exotic foods and herbs to look into include, Ginseng, Gingko, and Tribulus. Each of these has benefits in helping increase your libido as you age. Now please make sure you do your own research and discuss with your doctor, but know that these little hidden secrets are getting more studies and attention for their sexual properties every day. Discussing with your doctor will help make sure they’re right for you and don’t interact negatively with your body.
4 – Manage your Stress!
It’s no secret that stress and anxiety are surefire ways to not only mess with your libido, but these can also really negatively affect your overall health and wellness. Dealing with a stressful life and overcoming daily issues, can make you not feel sexual or sexy, thus decreasing the libido. I mean how can you look for that kind of fun when you come home emotionally drained from a stressful day at work? Having that super tough work schedule with many hours or working in stressful environments can result in those having a lower libido.
For guys, when you’re stressed you may find it hard (no pun intended) to maintain an erection which puts a damper on that libido right? I mean it’s simple, chill out more and manage all that crap in your life the best you can to help your sex life.
Other things that can help manage stress are getting a good night’s sleep, having a favorite pastime to get lost in, and maintaining good communication with your significant other to help you feel better about the stresses in life. All these things are great ways to manage that anxiety in life and help maintain a strong libido!

One of the strongest and best ways to maintain good sexual health with your partner is to make sure you maintain a great relationship outside of sex and the bedroom! You know, like having regular date nights filled with dinners and movies. The key is to make sure you’re always in the mode of “Dating your Partner” whether you’re married or not. It’s so important to have that good quality time daily with your lover. Showing each other that it’s more than just the sex will help increase those intimate moments.
I know no matter how busy our day is, my wife and I always like to sit down together and talk about our day.
