Spring flings, summer loving, warming up in winter, but what about autumn? Does the change in weather cause any changes to your sex life? You may be surprised to find out it does! So how does it affect you? Or rather what changes should you expect with the changing seasons? Being that today is the first official day of fall we thought we would celebrate by taking a look at what it means in the bedroom!
Libido
You may be thinking your libido will fall right along with the falling leaves, however quite the opposite is true. Numerous studies have found that with the decreased daylight testosterone levels associated with our sex drive increase. As a result of the increased testosterone, you can expect a significant increase in your need to do the deed.
Aphrodisiacs
Some of the most iconic tastes and smells of fall are potent aphrodisiacs. Pumpkin pie for example has been known to give erections just by a single sniff. Add a donut to that mix and you’re looking at on average a 20 percent increase in penile blood flow. Ladies, keep that in mind next time you’re picking up your pumpkin spice latte and hoping for a morning quickie!
Date Night
As the weather chills so does the average date night. Instead of overheating at the beach and amusement parks, then returning home being to tired to do much but shower and sleep. Curling up on the couch to watch movies becomes the norm. “Netflix and chill” returns. Picnics and bonfires make a comeback which allow for closer interactions fostering the chemistry between couples.
Warmth
Considering the increased amount of time spent indoors due to the shortened days and chillier nights it should be no surprise that you tend to cuddle up more often. The increase in physical contact between yourself and your partner causes surges in hormones that increase sex drive. So while you’re curling up to keep warm your bodies are urging you to make things even hotter.
So grab those pumpkin spiced snacks and embrace the sweater weather, your sex lives are about to get a whole lot better.
