This morning I was watching the TV show, “The View”. They were discussing a phenomenon known as the Holiday Sex Slump. Maybe you have heard of it, maybe you are one of the millions of people who suffer from this problem.
What exactly causes this sex slump? Why are some affected and others are not? Do men also go through a time when sex isn’t on the top of their agenda?
Causes of the Slump
- Holiday Stress I personally think that everything else can fall under this category. You feel so much pressure during the holidays.
- Too much shopping Gift giving has gotten out of control. You need to be up at 4:00 am to get a good deal. Who can fit sex into that schedule?
- Too much eating Do you actually choose that extra slice of pie over sex or does eating too much cause you to feel bad about your body and thus you give up on sex?
- Relatives Fighting with the family is a problem in many, many families. Again this adds a lot of stress for people.
- Just feeling “Blue” The holidays are a time when a lot of people suffer from depression. We remember those that are not with us anymore and it can be a time of great sadness.
I think that in order to alleviate this “sex slump”, you need to take a step back and simplify your life. Take time out to recharge and rejuvenate. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on gifts. You don’t need to say yes to every invitation. Save some quality time for yourself and your loved one.
