5 Subtle Sex-Life Killers and How to Banish Them

Ainsley Patterson
There is often a difference in how often two people in a relationship want to have sex with one another. While there may be a medical issue, or inherent reasons for a difference in sexual desire between two people, subtle sex life killers may be to blame for a lack luster sex life in a relationship. Here are five subtle sex life killers as well as ways of banishing them.

Lacking Facial Grooming
Pimples, protruding nose hairs, bits of food stuck between your teeth can all work against you when it comes to being intimate with your significant other.

Trimming your nose hairs once a week, washing your face daily, and brushing your teeth after meals can help you to keep these subtle sex life killers for ruining your intimate moments with your significant other.

Bad Breath
If your significant other's mind is on how to position their head to avoid your breath, or on how to avoid kissing you, then you are definitely not getting their undivided attention.

Keeping a tin of Altoids, or your preferred super strong mint, next to the bed is a great way to combat bad breath. If your partner has bad breath then pass them a breath mint by way of a kiss to keep from offending them while also saving your intimate moment from a subtle sex life killer.

Body Odor
If you lift your arm to cuddle with your significant other and they get a blast of toxic fumes, then you are going to have another situation in which you don't have their undivided attention.

Be proactive, whether you think you sweat a lot or not, wear deodorant. A nice body spray, in moderation, is also a good way of staying fresh. If your partner is a little on the smelly side suggest a romantic shower or bath, or mention how much you love the smell of their body spray when they wear it, and hopefully they will put it on more often.

Aggressive Turned Sloppy Kisses
If your significant other is constantly having to wipe your spit off their face because you completely miss their mouth when attempting a kiss, well then you've give a subtle sex life killer the upperhand.

It may be hard to keep from getting overexcited to the point of sloppy when kissing your significant other, but being mindful of what your are doing is a great way of showing your significant other that you are truly there with them in body and mind.

Stop and Go
Your parents probably told you when you were a teen that it might be hard to stop yourself when you are in the heat of the moment, well, the opposite is true as well. If you cause some kind of interruption in the heat of the moment and then try to start things back up again, you might find that the original luster is hard to get back.

Sometimes there are necessary interruptions, but unnecessary and especially excessive interruptions in the heat of the moment are definitely subtle sex life killers. Try to limit the chit chat, and when there is an unavoidable interruption, make sure that when you decide to slip back into the moment, that you do it completely.

Hopefully, if one of these subtle sex life killers has infected your intimate time with your significant other, you will find the tips offered helpful in banishing them for good from your intimate life.
