Habits ruining your sex life

Most couples would love to have a thriving sex life. Having sex often helps build your bond because this is something so intimate and precious.

Although sex is an important part of your relationship, there are times when things start to slow down. You might be going through certain phases where your minds aren't necessarily focused on sex and that is normal.

But, there's a problem if you actually want to have sex but your body is struggling to catch up. This gradual decline in your sex drive can happen without you noticing and a common reason is lifestyle habits.

To revive the intimacy in the bedroom, avoid these habits:
