In fact, contrary to rom-com narratives, Valentine\u2019s Day is actually <a href=\"https:\/\/hyggebirthandbaby.com\/blog\/most-popular-conception-dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not a popular conception date<\/a>. So, exactly how does <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/p\/does-cold-weather-affect-sex-drive-we-asked-expert-19634294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the winter season affect your sex drive<\/a>, and what can you do about it?

SAD is a type of mood disorder that affects people around the same time every year, usually at the end of Fall or early Winter when temps are cold and sunlight is limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of SAD include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chronic depression<\/li>\n<li>Loss of interest in activities<\/li>\n<li>Low energy<\/li>\n<li>Trouble sleeping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the winter months, people with SAD may oversleep, experience appetite changes, gain weight, and report being tired or having low energy \u2013 none of which sounds like aphrodisiacs.<\/p>\n<p>Mood disorders aren\u2019t the only cause of libido issues and potentially erectile dysfunction (ED). \u00a0That\u2019s because neurotransmitters aren\u2019t the only chemicals that are affected by seasonal changes. Testosterone levels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3494403\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">may also start to decline<\/a> in the winter months, which can affect sex drive.

Start with a process of elimination.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>When does your sexual dysfunction, including low sex drive or inability to get or keep an erection, occur? If it typically is restricted to the winter months, it may be linked to changes in the seasons.<\/li>\n<li>Do things like hitting the beach in the winter improve your sex life? This may be due to an increase in Vitamin D, again suggesting a seasonal cause of ED.<\/li>\n<li>Have you maintained a healthy, active lifestyle year-round? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/erectile-dysfunction\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20355776\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erectile dysfunction is associated with<\/a> circulatory conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease, as well as obesity and partaking in alcohol and tobacco. If you find you\u2019ve maintained a <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.edrugstore.com\/uncategorized\/getting-fit-to-address-ed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">physically active daily life<\/a> and haven\u2019t made any drastic changes to your diet or lifestyle behaviors, SAD may be the culprit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Before taking any steps to improve your sexual health and functioning, it\u2019s always best to consult with a doctor. If SAD is suspected to be the cause, your doctor may suggest making changes during the winter months, like taking a Vitamin D supplement or an anti-depressant. For those experiencing ED throughout the year, regardless of season, then a more appropriate option may be a PDE5 inhibitor like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Viagra<\/a>.
