Hey! Are you still fantasizing about this steamy topic in your head? Have you ever asked yourself this question: Why am I so horny? Or in an academically boring way: Why are people sexually aroused? Well, you are not alone on this one. Aliza is here to get real: sometimes you feel like a total sex machine, while other times you're about as turned on as a houseplant. So, what gives?
Well, first of all, it's important to know that sexual desire is a natural thing. It’s all up there in your brain. Being horny is an intense feeling of sexual pleasure and can be caused by all sorts of things, like a gentle touch of your partner’s hair, a scroll through your Instagram or Tiktok feed, or even just your wandering thoughts.
But sometimes, life gets in the way. Stress, exhaustion, medication, and all sorts of other factors can take a ton out of your libido. And hey, everyone's different - some folks have a high sex drive all the time, while others have peaks and valleys.
Why Do You Often Get Sexually Aroused?
These are juicy reasons why you’re feeling frisky and this applies whether you are a gentleman or a lady:
1. Stress Overload:
When you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed, your body produces more cortisol, a hormone that can increase your sex drive. This is because cortisol can boost testosterone levels, which can lead to increased sexual desire.
2. Hormonal Changes:
During puberty, hormonal changes can cause a surge in sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone), which can lead to more sexual thoughts and desires. If you are menstruating, your hormone levels can fluctuate, which can make you feel horny. And during pregnancy, hormonal changes can also lead to an increase in sexual desire.
3. Tingling Sensation:
Some people can be sexually aroused due to a tingling sensation in their genitals. This can occur when blood flow to the area increases, causing a tingling sensation that can feel pleasurable and arousing.
Why People Don’t Feel Horny
Low levels of testosterone or estrogen, can lead to a decrease in sexual desire. Depression and anxiety can also have a negative impact on libido. Additionally, certain medications used to treat illnesses can also affect libido, resulting in decreased sexual arousal. Also, overproduction of hormones like prolactin can decrease estrogen levels in women and testosterone in men leading to a decrease in libido. If you are experiencing persistent low libido, it is important to seek medical attention.
Effects of Experiencing or Lacking Sexual Arousal Being horny is not just about getting in the mood. It can have a big impact on your
relationships and satisfaction in the bedroom, as well as your mental and emotional well-being. If you're experiencing persistent low libido, don't suffer in silence! Seek medical attention so you can spice up your love life.
In all, it is important to note that having sexual urges is not a bad thing. There is a difference between feelings and actions; having a hard time controlling your sexual arousal is not the same as acting on them. If you're feeling frustrated with your sex life or just want to learn more, it's totally okay to chat with your doctor. They can help you figure out what's up and offer advice or treatments to get you back to normalcy. So go ahead and embrace your inner sex kitten - or take a break and let yourself recharge.
