"How Women Can Rekindle Sexual Desire Post-Pandemic"

A meta-analysis of 21 studies found that sexual function, especially desire, decreased significantly for both men and women after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, with women experiencing a greater impact. Stress and increased domestic responsibilities during the pandemic are cited as major factors. Sex therapists recommend addressing emotional connection, improving the quality of sex, and addressing sexual pain as ways to reignite desire. Responsive arousal, optimal timing of foreplay, and seeking professional help are also highlighted as important strategies for improving sexual function and intimacy post-pandemic.
