Isn't it funny -- as a horny, hormonal teenager, sex was something that was basically on EVERYONE'S mind, all the time. But as an adult, it seems like there's literally way too much on our plates to even consider sex sometimes, which is a huge problem! Between work, friends, family life, and everything in between, sometimes a girl just isn't in the mood to get down; however, there's one little secret psychologists, sex therapists, and others are swearing by -- and that is: JUST DO IT.

That's right! Nike's infamous slogan is also the newest tagline for your sex life. If you're shaking your head right now thinking, "Oh, is it REALLY that simple?" hear me out for a second -- this is backed by ladies of science. 

Laurie Mintz, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Florida and author of the critically acclaimed self-help book, A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex, says that adjusting your attitude about sex and just going for it is the simplest way to get in the passionate mindset, since "the desire-then-sex formula can be limiting."

"Women can have the idea to have sex, start having sex and then become excited, and then become really really excited," says Mintz. 

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT!

It makes total sense -- you know when you start a workout and you're like "OMG I have to do this right now but I don't want to," and then like, ten minutes later you're like, "OMG I'm super into this right now, I'm so glad I did this" -- the same rule applies to sex. 

And while we can totally get behind this advice, if you have a little *extra* time to get yourself in the mood, you can try going to the gym or putting some socks on.

Hold up! Let's explore this whole "put on socks" thing for a second. Apparently, there was an orgasm study done (yes, an ORGASM study) at the University of Groningen in which half of the couples couldn't climax. However, once they put socks on, the number of couples that did make it to the Big O skyrocketed to 80%. 

So apparently, it's that simple -- put on some socks and JUST DO IT!
