7 ways to make sex great again
For most couples, things can cool off over time. Here’s how to rekindle the fire

5. Change your medications
If it’s depression that’s ruining your libido—either depression itself, or antidepressants, which can dampen sex drive—tell your doctor about it. “Quite often, switching to a different antidepressant, or adjusting the dose of your current drug, is enough to get the libido pumping again,” says McCann. You also need to be frank with your partner, he adds. “Depression can completely kill sexual desire, so don’t feel guilty and force yourself to go further than you want to. Accept that you’ll need to move gradually; start with some kissing in bed, and see where that goes.”
McCann points out that while antidepressant medications can affect the intensity of the female orgasm or cause men to take longer to ejaculate, these problems are often nowhere near as bad as untreated depression. “At least when people treat their depression they can start to have sexual thoughts again. If it’s untreated, they can go for months or years before feeling the desire for sex.”
