Finding Your Inner Sex Goddess

No one likes to feel dumpy and dull, but what does it take to feel sexy and alive? The answer is simple: Hormones! These amazing little molecules don’t just prime your engines and make you crave sex; they also affect your attitude and make you feel beautiful, sexy and desirable.

If you want to get the most out of sex, you need the whole package: your lady-parts need to be in good condition, you’ve got to have the desire to seek out the action and you’ve got to have the attitude and self-assurance to know that you’re smoking hot and all the guys want a piece of what you’ve got to offer.

Tuning-Up Your Sex Engine

If your lady-parts aren’t in order, sex can be uncomfortable or painful — and that can leave you dreading the love-exchange. You’re not likely to feel very sexy or be eager to have some alone-time with your man when you’re feeling like that.

And that’s one of the first places hormones come in. The female sex hormones progesterone and estrogen tend to your sex organs, keeping them moist, plump and supple. When these hormones are in decline, your vaginal walls may become thin, dry and less elastic — a hostile environment for love-making. You can counter these effects by having your hormones tested and balanced. While you’re trying to find that optimal balance, vaginal moisturizes and lubrication can tide you over during those intimate moments.

Driving Your Desire

Of course, your girl-parts could be the picture of feminine perfection, but if you don’t feel like using them, they’re not going to matter so much. Without desire, sex might seem like a chore — something you do just to keep your man happy or because it’s good for you (and it is, no doubt!).

The captain of the desire team is yet another hormone: testosterone. This is the archetypal “sex hormone” that turns your attention to the hot guy across the room and gets your juices flowing. When you’re aroused, testosterone sends more blood down to your happy place, getting your ready and increasing your anticipation — and sensitivity!

Primping and Polishing

So you’ve got your sights set on a handsome specimen of masculinity — but does he have his eye on you? If you’re fine with mediocre sex, you probably don’t need to feel feminine and sexy — but who’s going to settle for mediocre when you could have the best? After all, that look in a man’s eyes as he gets a glimpse of your gorgeous curves and flirtatious motions can be one of the best turn-ons you can find!

Progesterone and estrogen are in charge here, yet again. These are the hormones that surge in the peak of your fertility, signaling to men that you’re in your prime, ripe and willing. You can feel the difference, too — they make you feel sexy, desirable and flirtatious. But they don’t just go away when your prime passes by — as these hormones wane, you can replenish them with natural bioidentical hormone replacement therapy!

Beyond the Hormones

If you’re not feeling as sexy as you want, there are some things you can do while you and your doctor find your ideal hormone balance. Spend plenty of quality time with your man, even when you’re not focusing on sex — but don’t be afraid to remind him about what you’ve got! Flirt with him and don’t be bashful. Be suggestive, or let him know exactly what you want to do with him in no uncertain terms.

Spend some time with yourself, too. Embrace your femininity! Do you have a special dress that makes you feel gorgeous and sexy? Wear it! How about some special jewelry, shoes or perfume? Don’t keep them stored away for a special occasion — make your day special by bringing them out!

A spa day can do wonders, as well. By spending the day pampering yourself, you’ll feel much more relaxed and rejuvenated, and you’ll be better able to see just how beautiful you really are! Don’t have time for a whole day? Get a manicure, pedicure or massage!

There’s a gorgeous sex goddess in every woman. She may go into hiding from time to time, especially when you get older and feel the burden of more and more stress and responsibility, but she never goes away entirely. All you have to do is find her and bring her back to the surface!
