Keeping Your Libido Healthy

Pills aren't the only answer. If flagging sexual desire is the problem, "find something that adds spice," Hutcherson says. "Find something interesting that stimulates your mind, since the brain is the largest sex organ."

Her libido-boosting suggestions:

• Sleep in the bedroom. Have sex anywhere else -- the den, kitchen, or laundry room.
• Seize the moment wherever, whenever, it hits.
• Buy something new. New lingerie definitely qualifies.
• Send hot sizzling notes to each other during the day.
• Buy a sex toy. Read an erotic novel together. Watch an erotic video.

"There are so many things, you can never run out of ideas," Hutcherson says. "What helps most -- the best aphrodisiac -- is going on a field trip to an adult store together. Try different things, touch, giggle, have a good time. You find you can't wait to get home to try them."

Protecting Your Sexual Desire

To keep your libido in prime form, you've got to walk, jog -- do some kind of aerobic exercise daily. Maybe it doesn't sound sexy, but a two-mile walk every day keeps the blood flowing, Saigal says.

Losing weight (if you're obese) and eating a low-fat diet also helps restore sexual function, he adds. "You'll feel better about yourself, and your partner will be more interested in you. You'll also help your heart." And that’s very sexy.
