Relaxation is a foundational component of any healthy sex life. It turns out it is impossible to get turned on if you are stressed out.  Before our bodies can experience any sort of pleasure, the body has to shift from operating in the sympathetic mode of the nervous system to the parasympathetic mode, from stress to relaxation. Then, and only then is the body able to process pleasure into arousal.

So sometimes kicking your legs up and making sure you relax for a bit is the best thing you can do to make yourself more available for or interested in sex. And even if you don’t get to sex, you may feel far better anyway. So kick your feet up, relax and unwind. Its good for your health and a prerequisite for your sex life!
