Why do we feel less desire in winter?

Winter is here, with its share of little joys like snow for the lucky ones, cozy pajamas, cheese... But every year at this time, we observe a recurring phenomenon among the couples in our community: the lack of sexual desire. Why do we feel less desire in winter? We explain where it might come from and give you the keys to rekindle the fireplace of desire! ❤️‍🔥

Ice of love

If summer is conducive to new encounters thanks to the warm atmosphere and the desire for novelty, the cold of winter tends to make us want to hibernate. Even if you're in good company under the covers, you might prefer cuddles over sex, and that's perfectly okay! Moreover, this illustrates very well the fact that sexual desire varies from person to person and according to many factors, including the weather. 🙂 We advise you to talk about it with your partner (who may feel the same), let winter pass if necessary, and don't put pressure on yourself!

The love of fat

Cheese, charcuterie, and all that... We all take advantage of this period to indulge in comforting dishes with friends, family, as a couple, or solo. It's a tradition to cherish, as it does wonders for morale. However, the full belly we experience after feasting sometimes leads to a great desire to nap, and less often to indulge in other pleasures. So "Please don't stop the raclette"! But if you see Fernando right after and have trouble digesting, maybe take 1 or 2 fewer servings. 😉

Mood in the socks (of Christmas. LOL. Sorry.)

For some people, winter is depressing. No desire to get out of the warm bed in the morning. No desire to shower and endure 30 seconds of cold water. No desire to freeze your extremities in the cold, gray, and wet streets. And for some, no desire for sex either . Rest assured, it's completely normal. The dark, short days of this season affect your mood, and therefore directly your sexual desire. To remedy this, find joy in the little details of everyday life, do things that make you feel good, and maybe your playful side will resurface in the process!

PS: if things are really not going well, consult a mental health professional, it's important. 🫶
