Life
Your libido doesn't have an on/off button. Still, there are ways to get turned on when your day is so not sexy. You've been stuck in traffic, your boss belittled you at the office, you're fighting with your BFF, your dog used your new sofa as a toilet, and all you want is to crawl into bed and think about anything but sex. But, you have a date tonight, and it's date number three, which means, anything can happen... including a trip to O-Town with someone you're really into. It's tempting to cancel, but, why not channel your inner temptress instead?
Or let's say you don't have a date, but you want to erase the misery that was the last 12 hours. What do you do? Turn yourself on, baby. Certified sex expert Ian Kerner told Woman's Day, sex is a perfect way to cap a bad day. But, before you jump between the sheets, indulge in some self-care so you can really cut loose and enjoy yourself while doing it. "In order for women to relax into arousal and experience orgasm, the parts of their brain that associate with outside stressors must deactivate during sex," Kerner said. So here are some things you can do not just to turn that bad day around, but to turn yourself on.
