It's perfectly normal to lose your desire for sex from time to time, and it happens to most people at some point in their lives. Low sex drive is a common problem that can affect anyone at different stages of life, causing frustration and worry in relationships. While it can be caused by a number of physical, emotional and psychological factors, understanding the causes is key to finding effective solutions.
It's natural to be worried if you don't feel like having sex, but it's a normal problem that many men and women face at some point in their lives. In the vast majority of cases, there is no danger. The most common causes of low libido in a relationship are stress, fatigue, and relationship issues. It can also be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, such as a thyroid problem.
Firstly, we all have different levels of sexual desire and there is no such thing as a 'normal' sex drive. However, if you find that your low sex drive is affecting your relationship or causing you anxiety, it may be time to seek professional help or help yourself.
Here are some of the most common causes of low sex drive, as well as some self-treatment options.
One of the most common causes of low sex drive is relationship issues. The state of your relationship influences your desire to have sex with your partner. For example, a relationship with many unresolved issues can cause stress, which can lead to a loss of sex drive.
Solution ➞ You can get help working through your feelings about your relationship by seeing a psychotherapist. Couples counselling is another option, where you and your partner work together to address issues that may have contributed to low sex drive and improve communication. Psychotherapy or couples counselling may be recommended by your doctor.
Alternatively, you can help your sex drive by thinking about sex or anything else that excites you. The more you think about sex, the more you will want to engage in sexual activity.
17 % of the adult male population say they have a mental health issue, while over 40 % say they have anxiety, worry, or discomfort.[1] When it comes to sex, mental health is essential. Other emotions have a big impact on your sex drive: if you're depressed, your sex drive is likely to be low, too.
Solution ➞ Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Mental health affects every aspect of your life, and having to perform sexually does not make it any easier. Make your mental health a top priority and talk to a doctor or psychologist about available therapy.
Hugging, showering, or simply lying naked in bed with your lover can help you maintain physical intimacy, and this may be enough. Your sex drive may increase when you feel close to each other. Please remember to take care of yourself. Masturbation can help you find pleasure, while also letting you know what you're getting into.
Many men experience impotence (i.e. erectile dysfunction), or the inability to maintain a good erection for sexual activity, at some point in their lives. Stress, anxiety, and worry are common causes in young men.
Solution ➞ Try some generic erectile dysfunction medications that can be easily ordered from our shop. These drugs work by dilating the blood vessels in the male body, especially around the genital area. Better blood flow allows an erection to take place.
Our bestseller is Kamagra, an erectile dysfunction drug containing Sildenafil. Kamagra can help you maintain an erection for at least 4–6 hours. But if you are looking for something that will keep you hard for longer, try Tadalis, also known as 'Le Weekender' in France. Tadalis, which contains Tadalafil, is a popular and very successful treatment for sexual impotence, with a long-lasting effect of up to 36 hours.
However, if your problem is also premature ejaculation, you should definitely try Tadapox. Tadapox is a specially formulated medicine that treats erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in one pill. The main ingredient, Dapoxetine, inhibits the ejaculatory reflex and prolongs the time between sexual arousal and climax. Tadapox is a successful and widely accepted treatment for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD)[2] or female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD)[3] refers to persistent problems with sexual response, desire, orgasm, or pain during sex that cause distress or interpersonal difficulties. It can affect women of all ages and may have various causes, including hormonal changes, medical conditions, psychological factors, or relationship issues. FSD can manifest as low libido, difficulty becoming aroused, an inability to achieve orgasm, or discomfort during intercourse. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying causes through medical intervention, therapy, or lifestyle changes to improve sexual health and well-being.
Solution ➞ FSD and FSAD can be treated with sildenafil citrate tablets developed specifically for women. Lovegra, also known as 'Viagra for women', is a pink tablet that works by increasing blood flow and sensitivity in the vaginal area. Lovegra is also responsible for natural lubrication and an increased success rate during intercourse. Lovegra is scientifically formulated to provide intense sexual satisfaction for women who want to regain their sexual pleasure.
Birth control pills can increase or decrease sex drive in some people. Hormonal contraceptives can affect your body and therefore your desire for sex. Hormonal contraceptives include birth control pills, the skin patch, the minipill and birth control tablets.
Solution ➞ While most people do not notice a difference in their sex drive when using hormonal contraceptives, if you think your sex drive has been influenced, you should talk to your doctor about alternative options. If you feel that your sex drive has not returned to normal after a few months of using birth control, talk to your doctor.
During and after the menopause, levels of oestrogen and testosterone change, which can influence your sex drive. Testosterone levels naturally fall with age, and oestrogen levels can drop dramatically as menopause approaches. Falling oestrogen levels not only impact sex drive, but also reduce vaginal discharge, which can lead to dry lining and make sex uncomfortable or even painful.
Solution ➞ Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)[4] or localised treatments such as vaginal estrogen can help relieve symptoms, while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and stress management can improve overall wellbeing. In addition, counselling and open communication with a partner can improve emotional health and intimacy, making it easier to maintain a satisfying sex life.
Some medications have a reduced sex drive as a side effect, especially antidepressants. SSRIs, which are commonly used to treat depression, often reduce sex drive. This is also true of corticosteroids, blood pressure medications and especially diuretics and antipsychotics, although there are several other drugs that can also affect libido.
Solution ➞ If you are concerned about a particular medication, it is best to talk to your doctor.
