Sexual Health Concerns and Statistics
by According to recent studies, over 90% of adult women report having concerns about their sexual health. Our sexuality is a major part of our life and can greatly affect our overall physical, mental and emotional health. Unfortunately sexual wellness is an aspect of our health that is largely ignored and avoided, and, as such, very much misunderstood. This is mainly because it can be uncomfortable to discuss, even with a health professional.

Sex is a natural part of life. Aside from being the very process of our procreation, sex is an instinctual activity that most adults enjoy on a regular basis. And sex is good for your health – with or without a partner. In addition to raising hormone levels (retaining your youth), sex can also boost metabolism, brain function, heart health and immunity. However, due to diet, lack of physical activity, stress, anxiety, prescribed medications, tiredness and a slew of other inhibitors, many women suffer from various sexual health issues.
Studies show that over 87% of women have concern about a lack of interest in sexual activity. A female’s libido is much more complex than that of a male. For most men with healthy testosterone levels, they are ready to go anywhere at any time. It usually doesn’t take much ‘encouragement’ for men to get aroused, especially with the continuous stream of visual stimulation from the ever-expanding cache of media outlets. For women, it is different. Our sexual desire is more holistic. It involves our thoughts and beliefs, our emotions and feelings, as well as our bodies. When we are out of balance with any part of that, we don’t feel as sexy and are therefore simply not as interested.
So how can we naturally increase our sexual desire? It is not as easy as just popping a Viagra. Women need to address several areas of their overall wellness in order to be aroused. First, we need to have enough energy. We need to be stress-free and at peace. The desire comes from deep within a woman’s soul. It’s that craving to connect and that longing to express love and passion. A healthy diet and physical activity can certainly improve female libido. It is also good to take a daily supplement to support the body from the inside out.
