Libido During Follicular Phase

Understand how libido change during follicular phase and what you can do as a partner.

In the follicular phase, sexual desire gradually rises with increasing estrogen and testosterone. Receptiveness to closeness and intimacy increases, and many women are more open to new experiences in this phase. As a partner who knows this dynamic, you can actively strengthen the connection — with patience and attention.

Not wrong, just more intense. And the hardest part is not the feeling, it is having to explain yourself or feeling misunderstood.
