Low Sex Drive / Libido
What is libido?
Libido
is another term for sex drive. Under
normal circumstances, situations that would normally arouse sexual
desire would not stimulate those with low libido. This condition can
affect men and women of all ages.
This can happen throughout the person's life or it could
happen during midlife. This
condition can even affect a person who has enjoyed sexual activity in
the past. It may also be a temporary condition caused by many factors
(such as menopause, stress and using antidepressant medications.)
It is
known that as a person age, sex drive will decrease. Some will suffer
more so than
others as it is affected by the levels of testosterone. Testosterone
level in both men and women is a major factor responsible for creating
the sexual drive.
Low
or lack of sexual desire for the other
partner (whether it is the wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend) can
cause strains in
relationship and marital problems.
This is especially a problem when
there is infrequent sexual intercourse. A man or women may continue to
participate in lovemaking just to satisfy the other partner.
This
is different than erectile
dysfunction (ED)
/
impotence.
A man with low libido can be sexually stimulated to have an
erection
and be able to achieve orgasm.
For
men with low libido, they will think less about wanting to have
sexual intercourse and daydream less about sexual fantasies.
