But for women, sexual dysfunction may attributable to something as simple as insufficient quality sleep.
Addressing sexual dysfunction
With erectile dysfunction, addressing men’s sexual dysfunction may mean getting a prescription for one of the top ED drugs, like Cialis.
For women, addressing sexual dysfunction could mean just getting one additional hour of sleep. In fact, a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that for women, just one extra hour of sleep increases the likelihood of sex by 14%.
The study
Researchers studied 171 healthy women who had not recently used antidepressants and half of whom had at least one sexual partner.
Each day for two weeks, the women were asked questions about sleep and sexual activity. These included such questions as:
- How long did it take you to fall asleep last night?
- How many hours of sleep did you get last night?
- How was the quality of your sleep?
- Did you masturbate within the past 24 hours?
- Did you have sex (oral, anal, hand, vaginal, etc.) with another person within the past 24 hours?
The results
The researchers found that women who slept longer, on average, had increased vaginal arousal. They also found that for every extra hour of sleep a woman had, the likelihood of sex with a partner increased by 14%.
The results go across the board for women. The effects weren’t changed based on age, sexual distress, daytime fatigue or menstruation.
Translation
Get up with the baby so your wife can sleep. Take the kids to the park so she can take a nap. If you snore, get a CPAP machine so she can get some sleep too! They’re nice things to do and they might help you get more sex.
