Erotic intelligence is described as the ability to balance your beliefs, feelings, desires, and reality. Some of the issues that come up with erotic intelligence, curing low libido, and somatic movements include anxiety, sleep, and herbal remedies.

When it comes to sexual matters, several issues need to be addressed to spice up your sexual life and fulfill your partner’s desires. One needs to be conscious of what they are engaging in since sex is not all about the action. Sex also involves the brain. Low libido is characterized by low sexual desire that affects both genders. It can be very disturbing if not dealt with on time. Spice up your sex life by involving somatic movements while having good moments.

Aspects of Erotic Intelligence 

Body Attenuation

It is linked to sexual health and wellness. Solo play is encouraged so that you can be self-aware and discover your erroneous zones.  According to Leonard (2010), masturbation is harmless and convenient for everybody. Addressing pain when having sex is part of knowing what your body wants. Get tested for STIs in case you feel discomfort when having sex.

Social Intelligence 

Albrecht (2006) states that social intelligence is the ability to be aware and act wisely when relating to fellow human beings.  It’s a trait that one should learn since it’s not inborn. It is vital to communicate with your partner even though social intelligence is more than intimacy.

Self-awareness 

You should have a good and clear picture of who you are and what you want when it comes to treasuring your  G-spot and vaginal area and putting boundaries.

Creativity

Being erotically intelligent requires a lot of creativity. This helps couples enjoy sex. Foreplay, flirting, and mystery are key to maintaining your partner’s interest.

Emotional Intelligence

According to Mayer & Salovey (2007), this intelligence has to do with emotions. 

Curing Low Libido

Libido is another word for sex drive. Low sex drive can be very frustrating. Sex is meant to be enjoyed. Therefore, if partners are having sex and one fails to fully satisfy their mate, it becomes terrible and may lead to sexual anxiety. One might opt to boost their libido through natural and artificial ways using designated drugs and herbs. There are several effective ways to build on your libido. Some of the causes of low libido include:

Anxiety

High levels of anxiety act as a stumbling block for sexual functioning and libido in both genders. You can’t enjoy sex when stressed up. You need a relaxed mind and attention to enjoy sex fully. Folks with fixed schedules of work, tight responsibilities, or stressed people may feel tired and not in the mood for sex. Furthermore, it is hard to maintain an erection if you are stressed or have anxiety; therefore, it’s hard to have sex. According to Mollaioli et al. (2020), erectile dysfunction may be caused by stress or depression. If you are suffering from anxiety, talk to a therapist, take a nutritious diet, and ensure that you relax and take care of yourself.

Less Foreplay 

A good sexual experience will upsurge your sexual desire. Therefore, making foreplay colorful will boost your libido. In most instances, people who have quality foreplay by kissing, touching, oral sex, and using sex toys always have a good sexual desire. According to research, about 18% of women orgasm from penetrative sex. The rest are induced by foreplay and other forms of intercourse. 

Inadequate Sleep and Improper Diet

 Good sleep helps better a person’s overall mood. Research has linked quality sleep with a high libido. A good diet will benefit your sex drive by enhancing good blood circulation and a healthy heart. Also, it does away with particular meals that decrease sex drive. Cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome can affect a person’s libido by interfering with the production of specific hormones. Eating vegan foods is advisable since they are very nutritious. 

Herbal Remedies and Regular Exercise

Herbal remedies include maca, Tribulus, and ginseng. Consider a doctor’s approval before going the herbal way. Regular exercising helps deal with low libido and other issues such as changes in relationships.

Somatic Movements

Somatic movements are consciously performed with the internal focus instead of outward movements. Somatic movements are good when it comes to relieving pain, healing from musculoskeletal conditions, and improving the body's functions. Moreover, sex somatic movements are essential since they steer up the whole act. Creativity in making somatic movements makes the whole experience memorable.

Conclusion

Curing low libido, having enticing somatic movements, and involving erotic intelligence will improve your sexual antics. Understanding your body and treating it respectfully will enhance your dignity, and you will always get the best. Low libido is curable, having learned that it is necessarily not a disease but rather a condition brought about by factors such as anxiety, stress, poor dieting, and lack of enough sleep. Work on your libido and have a sex drive like no other.
