in the mood?

not only are their changes that occur over the years. there are also changes that occur over weeks and months. take the regular monthly cycle of a woman for example. ovulation which lasts around 5 days to a week. it starts to kick in that ovulation is coming and the body shows signs of this, even if just a feeling the woman gets. the ovulation goes into full swing with a clear lubricating discharge and increased interest in sex. in fact a woman can get quite ravenous around this time.

ovulation starts to pass, lubricating discharge starts to thin out, then you’ve got some days of feeling normal again. for some this may mean a high interest in sex still while for others they’ve had their fun for the month and they’re satisfied. then the period signs begin. increase in appetite, water retention, bloating of the tummy, sore boobs (due to water retention). some women become gassy. some women get irritated and grumpy, while others gets stressed or depressed. these symptoms build up for days or over a week culminating in the occurrence of the menstrual cycle.

again the libido goes through some changes during this time. for those with sore breasts sex is most likely the last thing they want because the movement would hurt their boobs. for those who are gassy sex is probably funny or embarrassing because they’re farting every time they move. while for some sex during menstruation means natural lubricant and no need for protected sex with their guy because they can’t get pregnant.

libido varies from woman to woman, yet we still go through changes during a week, during a month and over the years.

as a woman it is interesting to wonder about what types of changes in libidos men have as well.  We know they are full of testosterone and all sex up in their teens and early twenties. does this die down when they hit 30 or 40 or are men always the same. do they also have changes during the week and over a month? it is said that men also have monthly cycles of feeling pms type symptoms, tense, depressed etc. how does this affect their libido? perhaps their libido is increased during this time since men like sex to feel good…
