This time of year is full of ALL the things. Don’t let intimacy be what gets left behind. Intimate time with your partner keeps you feeling connected and orgasms can even help reduce stress!

Cultivating your intimate relationships is always worth the effort.

Stress kills libido, yet sex, pleasure, and orgasm can also help reduce stress. There is a lot of magic & beauty, busyness, and sometimes grief and discomfort that comes up around the holidays. If your libido has been suffering, supporting your hormones with herbal remedies can be one of the best ways to get back on track.

Take a deep breath, consider your priorities, and set boundaries around your personal and intimate well-being this season.

Communicate Openly

Communication is always important, but even more so when life gets busier than normal. Let your partner know how you're feeling, and listen to their needs as well. Communicate clearly about plans and schedules and get clear about when you are going to prioritize intimate time. 

Keep your Bedroom Sacred

Setting the mood is key to fostering intimacy. Transform your space into a haven of comfort and sensuality. Soft lighting, scented candles, and soothing music can work wonders. Make the bedroom off limits to the clutter of Christmas so you have a haven for yourself and your lover to connect and rest. 

Incorporate Herbal Aphrodisiacs

Nature has gifted us with various herbs known for their aphrodisiac properties. Consider infusing your holiday meals and beverages with these natural delights:

• Euphoria Elixir: Formulated with aphrodisiacs like damiana and catuaba, this love elixir can help arouse the spirit and flood the energy body with light. A delicious tonic to share with your beloved, perfect for adding into an evening cocktail or mocktail.

Orgasms: Nature's Stress Reliever

The Science Behind Orgasms and Stress Reduction

During climax, the body releases a surge of hormones, including oxytocin (the "love hormone") and endorphins (natural painkillers), which contribute to a sense of relaxation, pleasure, and overall well-being. This chemical cascade can counteract the effects of stress hormones like cortisol, helping to alleviate tension and anxiety.

Enhancing Intimacy and Reducing Stress

Making time for intimate moments and reaching orgasm can serve as a natural remedy for stress. Whether through mutual exploration, shared intimacy, or self-pleasure, experiencing orgasms together or individually can provide a much-needed release from the pressures of the holiday season.

Prioritizing Pleasure for Stress Relief

Encouraging each other to prioritize pleasure can be a powerful stress-management technique. By understanding the stress-reducing benefits of orgasms, couples can foster an environment that values intimacy as a means of relaxation and connection.

 

A Holistic Approach to Holiday Stress Management

Orgasms, herbal remedies, and connection can take you far when it comes to stress management, but are always best when combined with an overall lifestyle of self-care. 

Venus in Silk is here to support your journey to a more intimate and pleasurable life. The Holiday Season is a very full time of year and we wish you the very best!
