Reflexology for Increased Desire/Libido


Low libido? Reflexology has proven helpful time and time again not only for sexual desire, but also erectile dysfunction, infertility, PMS, and countless other hormone related problems. While clinical sessions are recommended for chronic issues, there are a few key reflexes that can be stimulated at home to help you make the most of your time together.

Brain: It is said that 90% of sex takes place in the brain. To stimulate the brain reflex rub or apply pressure to the fleshy part of the great toe.

Stomach: The stomach is a great erogenous zone. The stomach reflex is found in the center section of the foot. Knead up and down the length of the foot with your thumbs and fingers. This can also bring relief to the digestive tract, making it easier to relax and enjoy your time together.

Solar Plexus: This reflex point is a fantastic one to work to help your spouse relax, forget about the stresses of the day, and live in the moment. It is located near the center of the foot, just below the pad.

Breast and Chest: Many become very relaxed when working the breast and chest reflexes.  It helps to regulate breathing, increasing oxygen levels and blood flow.  Simply "milk" the foot, focusing on the center of the foot to the toes, both top and bottom. Gently hugging and squeezing the foot in this manner can be very pleasurable.  

Reproductive Reflexes: The reproductive reflexes of both genders are found on either side of the ankle. Massaging the heel and around both sides of the foot can improve circulation to the pelvic region.

If you are confused about the location of these reflexes, please take some time to explore the interactive foot chart found to the right of this article.

Make reflexology a regular part of your foreplay and you will both reap the bennefits. Happy Valentines  Day!

  1. Hello,

    Ran across your blog while researching essential oils, and this article caught my attention. I used to live and work in Southeast Asia, and that is where I fell in love with real Chinese reflexology (not those cheap street side foot rubs!).

    All that to say I'm a believer for sure, and this article grabbed my attention because my wife and I are struggling with infertility. It's actually looking like it's a problem with me and not her.

    Aside from good diet and clean living, is there anything else you can recommend? Particularly for men.

    Thanks in advance,

    1. Thank you for your interest in my blog. As you know, there are many factors that play a roll in infertility. Small steps can be taken such as diet and exercise, switching rom briefs to boxers, and limiting time on a bicycle, but there are other things that can help as well. Here is a link to another article I have written about reflexology for infertility. It lists specific reflexes that can be worked at home, links to scientific studies, and also has a demonstrational video that may be helpful. Acupuncture can also be very effective. I hope you find the solution you are looking for. Peace and well wishes.
