If You Feel Slightly Hornier During The Winter, DW -- Science Has An Explanation

As far as the seasons and sex drives go, one might assume that summer takes the cake. After all, you’re more social, you’re wearing more skin-baring outfits (hello, short shorts and crop tops), the heat has your skin glistening, and the carefree vibes inspire you to pursue a fun fling just for the hell of it. But if you feel like you start thinking more dirty thoughts as the temperatures drop, you’re not alone. In fact, multiple studies have shown that it’s normal to feel slightly hornier during the winter.

Blame it on the spiked eggnog, the feel-good holiday rom-coms, or the mistletoe — but regardless, one thing is for sure: the holidays have lots of people feeling horny. So next time you find yourself a little aroused listening to some carols or thinking X-rated thoughts while you’re baking cookies, rest assured that you’re not alone in having sex on the brain during the winter. Besides, there’s hardly a better way to end one year and start a new one with a bang.
