01Why Burnout Kills Horny

Your brain cannot tell the difference between a charging tiger and an angry boss shouting about a deadline. It floods your bloodstream with cortisol and shuts down your desire for pleasure. You feel numb and dry because your body thinks you need to run for your life instead of spreading your legs. For more, read Wake Up Dead Libido Naturally.

  • High stress keeps your sympathetic nervous system stuck in overdrive.
  • Blood rushes away from your genitals to your major muscles for fighting.
  • You cannot get wet or hard when your body is bracing for impact.
  • Ignoring the stress leads to dead bedrooms and frustrated partners.

02Drop Into Your Body

You have to trick your nervous system into knowing you are safe before you can feel horny. Stop trying to jump straight into heavy petting when your mind is racing. Give your body physical signals that the workday is completely over.

  1. 1

    Strip naked

    Take off all your work clothes immediately when you get home.

  2. 2

    Change the air

    Light a scented candle and turn off the harsh overhead lights.

  3. 3

    Touch skin

    Rub scented lotion over your legs and arms slowly.

  4. 4

    Breathe deep

    Take five long exhales to drop your shoulders down.

03Switch Off The Brain

Your thoughts are the biggest enemy of your orgasm right now. You are planning grocery lists while he is kissing your neck and it ruins the vibe. You need a physical anchor to pull your attention right back into your skin.

04Slow Down Foreplay

When you are stressed you take twice as long to get wet and warmed up. Tell him to skip the rush and focus on long slow kisses that mean nothing except pure pleasure. Let your arousal build like a slow burn until you are begging him to touch you.

  • Ask him to lick your inner thighs without touching your pussy yet.
  • Focus on heavy breathing and let your nipples get hard in the cool air.
  • Keep your eyes closed so you do not think about chores or emails.

05Claim Your Pleasure

Sex is the best stress relief on the planet once you let go and receive it. Stop treating sex like one more chore on your endless daily to do list. Let him take control and pound away the tension while you just enjoy feeling full and fucked.
