Why do we feel less like it in winter?

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

Black ice of love

While 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 instead. Even if you're in good company under the duvet, you might feel more like cuddling than having sex, and that's perfectly ok! In fact, this illustrates very well how sexual desire varies from person to person and according to many factors, including the weather. 🙂 We recommend talking about it with your partner (who may be feeling the same way), letting winter pass if needed, and not putting pressure on yourself!

A love of indulgence

Cheese, charcuterie and all the rest... We all make the most of this time of year to treat ourselves with comforting little dishes, with friends, family, as a couple, gold solo. It's a tradition to be cherished, as it does wonders for morale. The only downside is that the bloated belly we suffer after feasting sometimes brings on a strong urge to snooze, and more rarely makes the gluttonous feel like indulging in other pleasures. So "Please don't stop the raclette"! But if you're seeing Fernando straight after and you're struggling to digest, maybe skip 1 gold 2 pans. 😉

Feeling down in the dumps (Christmas edition. LOL. Sorry.)

For some people, winter means the blues. No desire to get out of the warm bed in the morning. No desire to go for a shower and endure 30 seconds of icy water. No desire to freeze your extremities in cold, grey and damp streets. And for some, no desire for sex either. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal. The dark and short days of this season affect your morale, 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 perhaps your naughty side will resurface in no time!

PS: if things really aren't going well, do consult a mental health professional — it's important. 🫶
