Four tips for getting in the mood for loving

Getting in the mood is definitely a completely different kettle of fish for women as it is for men.

Men don’t find it as hard as women. They can switch on faster than women and their definition of getting in the mood is something as simple as taking their pants off, or perhaps accidentally brushing against your boob while you’re cooking dinner together in the kitchen.

Women take a little more time, and are a bit more proud in the way they approach it.

We are a tad more complicated and each have our individual way of getting in the mood and feeling sexy.

If you find it difficult to get in the mood, never fear. Herbal healer and founder of natural aphrodisiac product range, Miracle Minded, Liz Stringer, shares four quick tips on how you can get in the mood, tonight:

1) Mental stimulation

It’s known that women need more stimulation than just the touch.

It’s also about mentally being in the moment to feel stimulated.

It’s been said that you have to also have sex with a woman’s mind, not just her body. Finding out what works best for you is key.

Whether it’s dirty talk, or perhaps something a bit more creative like role-play. Have a think about what gets you excited and share this with your partner.

Communicating needs, wants and desires will not only bring you closer, but will keep things fresh and interesting.

2) Be the sexy goddess that you are

This step is so important. You won’t get in the mood unless you’re feeling your best. Take some time away from your busy life and have some “me time”.

Do whatever it is that makes you feel beautiful.

Whether it’s wearing something seductive, doing your hair a little different, whatever! I’m all about women empowerment, and doing whatever you need to feel amazing.

3) Be present

Our lives are so hectic. We’re working, raising children, running errands and trying to look after ourselves, all at the same time.

Mums are the queens of multi-tasking, the things we can accomplish in one day would amaze most men, but it’s important to just stop sometimes and quiet our minds.

Let go of everything and be in the moment. This will make you feel recharged and regenerated.

And let me tell you, you will definitely be more open to getting in the mood with your partner.

4) Indulge in some aphrodisiac products

Some of us find it difficult to get in the mood, and some are embarrassed to turn to aphrodisiac products to lift our libidos. Which is nothing anyone should be ashamed of!

Miracle Minded are an Australian owned company and we’ve recently launched three all natural aphrodisiac products that are historically proven to increase stamina, energy and libido.

The range includes a hot chocolate, love potion and aphrodisiac tea, and it is encouraged that you share them with you partner, so you can both enjoy and get in the mood.

Lots of great hints and tips here to help mums out. Not always so easy to put into practice though. So many outside factors influencing bedroom time :/

If you can’t get in the mood, there is something underlying in the relationship that needs work on. If you are in love relaxed and appreciated your going to want your partner without miracle potions.

I guess if buying a product makes you feel better then it’s what works for you buts it’s often unnecessary, just take the time

It disappoints me to see these marketing ploys disguised as articles. Especially when it is full of clichés and stereotypes with regards to men and women! I personally would prefer if MoM was upfront about this and make mention of the fact that it’s marketing in the Facebook post itself, that way I can choose for myself whether or not I want to take the little time I have to read an advertisement. There are many good articles, recipes etc on this site but the sneaky ninja marketing I see so often is making me lose interest in the whole site!

  I agree. I just want to read interesting articles that aren’t being sponsored by another company promoting another product.

Completely debunked nonsense. Women have strong libidos and love sex. The book What Women Really Want by Daniel Bergner uses 7 years of scientific research to categorically prove that women are not only AS sexual as men, they are probably more so. And that monogamy kills women’s sex drives within a few years. Women are wired up to be non-monogamous. Hence all those thousands of nerves around the clitoris designed for nothing but pure pleasure. If she says she doesn\\\’t want sex, she means with YOU.

It\\\’s now accepted that primitive humans travelled in groups, and females (like our closest relations bonobos) had multiple male partners. This meant extra protection as males were less likely to harm an infant that might be theirs & more likely to protect a female who might be carrying their young.

The female orgasm is very easy. Friction on clitoris. Mechanical, just like men\\\’s. Considering we\\\’re the same species this is no surprise. Massages/candles not required. Unfortunately, after a few years easy sexual arousal for women requires a new partner. Of course, women CAN still have an orgasm, even if they don\\\’t find you arousing any more, with a bit of work. Monogamy, though difficult for women, is possible. But the reason women always slept around is they\\\’re wired that way. You can look at sperm wars and paternity testing for proof. Not to mention the desperate desire to control the extremely strong sex drives of women with so many ridiculous social sanctions and attacks. I wonder who men were supposed to be sleeping around with if not equally lusty women?

Bottom line, we now have proof that women are designed for multiple sexual partners & orgasms. And suddenly it all makes sense.
