Adjusting After Kids Move Out: Coping With Low Energy in Intimacy

Very normal. A lot of couples go through this when kids leave home. Suddenly, there is quiet and more time together, but you also realize your body has changed. Years of late nights, stress, and not looking after yourself start to show up in energy and desire.

For me, the turning point was when I stopped expecting some overnight fix. I spoke to a counselor who explained how gradual recovery works. Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha and Shilajit do not give you a sudden boost like stimulants. They help the body find balance again, lower stress, and support hormones over time.

I started with small changes: lighter dinners, short evening walks, better sleep. Alongside that, I tried a supplement that combined both herbs Durex Elevate Tablets. It felt safe and easy to fit into my daily routine. The idea was not to depend on it but to let it support the lifestyle changes I was making.

It took six to eight weeks, but I noticed real shifts. My energy felt steadier, my mood calmer, and intimacy felt natural again. When I eventually stopped taking it, nothing bad happened because the habits were already in place.

If you are going through something similar, do not be hard on yourself. It is common, and slow fixes often last longer than quick ones.
