In fact, being horny is a natural thing. It’s a normal feeling and could vary from one person to another.

Few studies found out that there is a rise in sexual urges during ovulation time – around 2 weeks before you start your period. This theory makes total sense because you, woman have hormones that increase during this time. It is the time of high fertility. There’s a sudden rise in your libido thanks to your estrogen and testosterone levels – and this is why you want to ave more sex. On top of this, pre-period discharge also increases sensitivity in your genital area. With more lubrication, that “wet feeling” makes you feel more sensitive and ready to get it on. Take advantage of this moment and be creative in fulfilling your need by trying on new waterproof toys in the shower before you get your period on.
During the honeymoon stage of every couple, feel-good hormones spike up causing body urges as often than long-term partners do. Your sex drive with your partner tends to match up because aside from feeling in love, you are also feeling the lust. Passionate clothes-ripping sex happens at this stage thanks to the honeymoon phase. But as you know, this period eventually wanes, and the time varies per couple. As long as your partner enjoys frequent sex, then go ahead make love all the time. But when you realize that you want sex more than your partner, it helps to get adult toys in the bed to lessen the pressure when the other doesn’t feel like doing so.
Yes, ladies, you feel extra horny too when you are pregnant. During the second trimester, when your body undergoes changes, you get increased sexual libido as well.

Your breasts and nipples get more sensitive making sex more satisfying. Give in to your pleasure safely by using pregnant-recommended clitoral vibrators. Your pregnancy is not an excuse to get such beautiful orgasm you deserved with different amazing vibrators.
Some medications can actually affect your sexual drive as the side effects. Whether you’re taking meds for such purpose or it comes as a side effect, you can’t help it when the urge is strong. Same goes with a glass of red wine. Alcohol can also interfere with your libido and can make you feel more aroused. So, the next time you want to speed things up with your partner, toast and clink on a few glasses and let it loosen up your inhibitions.
Aphrodisiac foods like oysters, chocolate, chilis, fruits, and pistachios can increase your arousal. It stimulates the body to feel really good, regulates the body’s hormones, and increase your organ’s lubrication. So, if you spend on munching these foods, don’t be surprised if you feel really stimulated and horny. And if you want to be creative in bed but doesn’t want to play with food, you can try chocolate-flavoured lube or fruit-flavoured ones for a non-greasy but delicious taste.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be horny or feels aroused. Your sexual drive should be healthy after all. If you have compulsive urges because of the reasons we mentioned, don’t fret because they are a natural reaction of the body. As long as getting your pleasure on doesn’t get in the way of your work or personal relationship, feel free to explore and satisfy those urges. Find creative outlets that are body-safe, and discreet. So, the next time you feel it, just take on that passion burning and let it go.
