Usually it’s confusing to consider whether one’s libido might go up or down in the winter time and colder climates.  Some conventional thought might be that when couples are all closed up together, it stokes the fires of romance, passion and lust, and others think that spring time is still the instinctual “mating time” for women and men.  I tend to agree with that thought, and it holds true for me personally in my sex life as well.  In the winter, my libido is pretty much lower, not gone or anything like that, but noticeably tempered.

It could be because we all tend to gain weight and not look as good – no tan, no exercise as we usually get more of in the summer, or it could also be because it’s just too darn cold for us to take our clothes off and get all hot and bothered – when we’re cold our first instinct is to stay warm, not to shed those clothes that keep us so warm for a little nookie time.

This makes it hard (no pun intended), to have a long, meaningful tryst with your partner since women especially are sensitive to the cold and body image and they may not feel so sexy when they might have put on a few in the winter and also have no color, unless they are ones that go tanning year round.

To help build the libido back up, you could install a home sauna in your home basement, that might help “warm things up a bit” if you know what I mean.  You could also go to a tanning salon and get a tan in the nice warm booths – this could simulate summer time for you and help stoke the fires of passion again.  Or you could simply go on a warm, tropical vacation with your loved one.  Not only are all stresses forgotten about on vacations, but we also tend to feel less inhibited sexually – and yes, much much warmer!
