Research shows this strategy can boost your relationship satisfaction.
A growing number of people are microdosing drugs like cannabis and LSD to enhance their athletic performance. Now, some are taking the concept of microdosing into their sex lives to up performance in the bedroom.
A new study suggests that one way for couples to jumpstart their desire, whether they’ve been married for years or are just starting to date, is to microdose it. The idea is that a small libido-boosting activity one day can lead to more and better sex the next day.
And it’s not just about more pleasure. “Sexual desire is directly related to satisfaction in relationships,” says the study’s lead author Kristen P. Mark, Ph.D., associate professor in the department of kinesiology and health promotion at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. “By keeping your desire alive, you’ll be keeping your satisfaction alive, too.”
