Too stressed in intimacy? Just never in the mood? Maybe its a massage you are desperately in need of.
Consider scheduling a professional massage for yourself or one or making a massage date together. By integrating something new and healthy like massage into your love life, you and your partner will both benefit from the extra effort.
Research has shown there are many benefits of massage, including a reduction in stress and depression. One of the common side effects of excessive stress, depression, and anxiety is reduced libido and sexual dysfunction.
Massage therapy is shown to elevate mood by releasing feel-good hormones like serotonin, which in turn reduces stress and alleviates mild to moderate forms of depression.
Anxiety is a known love-killer, because it means your body is too often operating in “fight or flight mode,” where stress hormones including cortisol are being released constantly. Arousal and orgasm are difficult to reach when there is an excess of stress hormones in the body. Massage can support the body in releasing stress hormones and other toxins, which creates a much better environment in the body and psyche for a healthy sex drive.
If you or your partner live with chronic pain from injuries, that can also hamper a healthy sex life. Therapeutic forms of massage therapy can manage problem areas by increasing the circulation and overall energy to the injury and speed healing.
A reduction in pain will leave more room in your life to cultivate sensuality, play, fun, and love. The increase in circulation that massage promotes is also good for the circulatory system, promoting arousal when appropriate, and healthy sexual function in both men and women.
In addition, the increase in circulation can stimulate the lymphatic system, which removes toxins and keeps the body healthy.
