Decreased sexual appetite does affect both sexes. There are many factors that can influence a loss of desire for both men and women. However no matter which partner is suffering from decreased interest in sex, loss of libido can wreck havoc on any intimate relationship. Recognizing Loss of Libido : Loss of libido is no longer having a desire to have sex. It is not having sex not because you cannot, but because you do not wish to. You may be experiencing a loss of libido if you can answer “yes” to a majority of the following:- Does you intimate touching only take place in the bedroom? Does sex no longer give you a feeling of connection and sharing? Is one partner in your relationship always the initiator and does the other feel pressured or obligated perform? Do you no longer look forward to having sex? Does your sex life feel mechanical, routine? Do you no longer ever have sexual thoughts about your spouse, or anyone else for that matter? Do you no longer have sexually explicit dreams? Do you have sex only once or twice a month at most? Causes of Lack of Libido in Women : For both men and women, lack of libido has either physical or emotional causes. Some physical and of course many of the emotional causes can over lap, but the specific physical causes for loss of sexual desire in women can be:- Anemia, Post-baby issues, Hyperprolactinaemia, Hormonal Issues. Contrary to popular belief menopause does not cause a lack of libido in most women. In fact many women report a much more satisfying sex life after menopause. Again while there are certain emotional causes Such as: A past rape, Problems in the relationship, Problems in the household, Self-esteem issues. In Men : As with women there are “cross over” causes for lack of desire in males, but there are also specifically male causes for lack of libido. Erectile Dysfunction – ED or impotence is not the same thing as lack of libido, but the inability to perform can lead to a man’s lack of desire to have sex. Other forms of sex problems such as pre-mature ejaculation, or performance anxiety can have the same effect. Other causes: Alcoholism, Drug abuse, Diabetes, Cancer, Tranquilizers and few antidepressants, Emotional, Anxiety, Depression, Stress and Overwork. Treatments for Lack of Libido: The good news is that once the cause is determined usually loss of libido can be reversed. So, if you feel you are experiencing a loss of libido discuss the condition with a Qualified Doctor because this is the problem where both of you suffer due to one’s problem.
