Low Libido?

Are you or your partner losing interest in sex?  A variety of physiological and psychological factors can impact your libido.  The following are some common sex-drive killers.

Job stress, money worries, or family health issues can decrease libido.  To learn how to manage stress, possibly seek the advice of a counselor.

Unresolved relationship problems are one of the most common killers of sex drive.  For women in particular, emotional closeness is a major ingredient in sexual desire.  Communication problems and betrayal can sabotage your sex life.

Alcohol can numb your sex drive, although for some it makes them less inhibited about sex.  Inebriation can be a turn-off for your partner.  The same goes for recreational drugs.

Too little sleep can interfer with your sex life.

The parents of small children often have limited time for sex.  Try scheduling sex for when baby is sleeping.  Hire a baby sitter and possibly go away for a night or two.

Drugs commonly linked to libido loss include:  anitdepressants, blood pressure medications, antihistamines, chemotherapy, and anti-HIV drugs.

Body image,obesity, erectile dysfunction and low testosterone are other contributing factor of low libido.

Depression, menopause and too little non-sexual intimacy also contribute to low sex drive.
