Why is it that in some days of the month your sex drive is over the roof, you feel like a goddess ready to take over the world, while on other days your sexual desire hits rock bottom, and you barely manage to do your escort activity?
Our body goes through a rollercoaster of emotions and hormonal storms every month, and that is why we tend to seem unpredictable and over-emotional to both us and the ones around us.
But things can get easier if you know WHY these changes happen, and WHEN they are more prone to happen!
The changes in our moods and in our sex drive are directly linked to our menstrual cycle. You may tend to think about menstruation as that time of the month when the actual bleeding happens, but our menstrual cycle takes place through an entire month and has four phases: the menstrual phase, the follicular phase, the ovulation, the luteal phase.
Sex drive during the menstrual phase
As we already know, every woman is different, and so it’s her sexual arousal pattern during her menstrual cycle. But, one thing has been spotted by the scientists, and that is the fact that most women tend to feel more aroused during their menstrual phase due to hormonal fluctuations.
Also, sex and orgasms can help relieve menstrual cramps, due to the repeated movement of contraction and release, of the muscles of the uterus. Sex during menstruation also allows for an easier penetration, due to the natural lubricants in the vagina.
What is the menstrual phase
The menstrual phase lasts between three to seven days and consists in the shedding of the uterus lining. During this period in the menstrual cycle there is a drop in estrogen and progesterone that leads to mood swings, irritability, acute sadness and fatigue.
Sex drive during the follicular phase
This is the time when everything around us seems brighter and better, when our energy hits its peak and when we are most positive and joyful, and all thanks to the rise in the levels of estrogen!
The follicular phase lasts between 7 to 14 days, so ladies this is the time when you feel like enjoying life to its fullest, when you are nicer to your dates, when you are more inclined to offer certain services or spend more time with the ones that you feel are worthy of this treat.
But what is happening in the follicular phase?
The follicular phase is that time in the menstrual cycle, when the follicle in the ovary develops and is ready to release an egg.
Sex during ovulation
Two days, this is how long it lasts, but we are talking about the best two days of your monthly sex drive! The lutein and estrogen levels are at their all-time high and your sex drive reaches its peak.
The end of the follicular phase coupled with the ovulation time is the moment when your confidence is high up and you feel like a queen. So, this is the best time for out-of-this-world sex! Maybe you should do the math and book that big client of yours during sometimes in this period.
What does ovulation mean?
The ovulation phase is the moment when the mature follicle releases an egg.
Sex in the luteal phase
When ovulation ends the luteal phase starts, and it lasts for 10 to 14 days. This is the time when you are not your wild, fiery, sex goddess anymore, but you are at your best – calm, relaxed, balanced, rational and are most prone to good, well-thought decisions.
This is the time when good, old sex happens. Nothing fancy, no fireworks, but good action and exciting results.
We feel most relaxed and calm during the luteal phase because this is when the release of progesterone takes place, meant to prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy.
You may think at first that this information is boring and useless, but knowing how your body works and reacts, what changes take place inside of you each month, and how your hormones influence your state of mind, and the quality of your sex life, can lead to a better life, better decisions and an overall better lifestyle!
