Testosterone
Produced by the ovaries or through the adrenal glands, testosterone, AKA the libido hormone, is what gives you that ‘sexy feeling’. High testosterone levels often translate to a robust libido. That’s why women with generally healthy ovaries are easily turned on. The female body, however, doesn’t normally hum with full-on testosterone production 24/7. It has its low and peak times and seasons, which explains why you might feel more like having sex at certain times of the day or month rather than others.
Emotional Arousal
Most women need a cocktail of stimuli such as sexy reading material, a yummy visual, candles and flowers, mood music or light touches to turn them on or get them going. And even then, it’s a slow, gradual ride as the temperatures rise. They need to feel the love before they can feel the lust. Women are context-oriented and need to feel comfortable and safe before they can enjoy sex.

Interest Quotient
What turns a girl on is subjective. But prolonged disinterest in sex could actually be a reason for concern that experts call Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). There are several potential culprits: the use of certain medications, hormonal insufficiencies, or emotional factors such as depression, anxiety, or relationship conflicts.
The Fitness Factor
Exercise doesn’t only give you an endorphin rush (which in turn beams positive vibes throughout your mind and body), it also clears your head and helps you sleep better. Adequate sleep rejuvenates your body and combats fatigue from everyday stress.

Bad Habit Barrier
Although alcohol can strip away inhibitions, doctors agree that a little too many servings of alcoholic drinks do more harm than good. While a glass of wine at the end of the day can make you feel more relaxed, excessive drinking over time may actually lead to dependence and depression. And you might end up with possibly too bleak a mindset to even stir.
Another habit worth kicking: Smoking, particularly heavy smoking overtime, may well play a significant role in reducing blood flow to the pelvic region and can cause woman to have a diminished sexual response. Low blood flow affects arousal, engorgement and lubrication.
