Sayonara Summer! Despair Not - Why The Autumn Is Good For Your Sex Life Blog Discussion

The leaves may be falling…but will your libido follow suit?

Quite the contrary, it may very well rise.

There’s a multitude of reasons why you become hornier as the heat drops, continue reading below to find out more.

Animal Instinct
According to experts, Autumn is the season when our levels of testosterone are higher than at any other time. Testosterone is the hormone associated with sex drive, this is for both men and women (although women will have considerably lower amounts of this than men). Apparently, it’s down to nature, you know it’s that time of year when animals start getting over-excited and ‘rutting’. Call it our animal instinct kicking in  

Layer Up, Not Strip Off

According to some sciencey experts, people find their partners’ bodies more attractive during the colder seasons. One theory is something called the “contrast effect.” In the summer, we are frequently exposed to scantily-clad bodies. Not so when it gets cold outside; therefore, the “attractiveness criteria” shift in everyone’s favour. This means that the imagination will be used more to imagine the sexy body beneath the layers.

Love Shack
It’s getting colder, do you need more of an excuse to shack up in a warm bed with someone thermometer-blowing hot? And stay there. All day...No we couldn't think of a reason either.

Blow Me
Candles. For some reason, we love candles, even more, when the nights are darker. Who’s bottom doesn’t look great against a backdrop of flickering candles?

Make Friction
More nights in snuggled up by the fire sharing a bottle of wine leads to more early nights and more generating some heat between the sheets.

Spice Up Your Life
Forget strawberries and oysters; apparently, pumpkin is the mother of all the aphrodisiacs. Guys, apparently all you need is a whiff to start feeling a bit stiff...hehe. Mmmn pumpkin soup for dinner?

Just Keep Swimming
Statistically speaking men’s sperm count is at its lowest during the summer months. Apparently, it’s all due to the higher temperatures. But as autumn comes along, they all come swimming back. It’s known as the ‘overshoot phenomenon’. No, really.

Don’t Be Sad, Be Horny
Autumn is the time of year when most people are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, otherwise known as SAD. The best remedies for autumn depression are not only vitamin D and sun exposure but you can’t go wrong with a bit of sexy time to perk your mood up.

Would you say that you can relate in that you get hornier as autumn creeps in or perhaps your sexual momentum runs on one big year-round season? Then again perhaps the warmth of the summer sunlight on your naked body is the thing that gets you the hottest and the chilly periods cramp your sexual style? Let us know in the comments below.
