An overview of low libido

Oestrogen and progesterone are two of the most crucial sex hormones in women. Women produce small amounts of testosterone as well. Testosterone is the pincipial sex hormone in men. But regardless of your gender, testosterone is what makes you and other people want to have sex, and changes in your hormone levels can lead to drastic changes in how much you want to do it.

Both men and women can be affected by changes in libido in ways that are both the same and different. Getting to the bottom of why your libido is low will help us treat you better and get you back to a more enjoyable life.

Libido changes in women

Women have significantly less testosterone than men, so they are much less likely to want to have sex to begin with. But there are a number of other things that could make you not be in the mood, such as:

You’re stressed out.

When you’re stressed, sex might be the last thing on your mind. Sex often makes men feel better, women less so. Consider writing down what you’re stewing over or finding other ways to manage stress so that you can carve out some space for intimacy.

You’re taking birth control

We said that women have a modest quantity of testosterone, which is the hormone that makes people want to have sex. When you use a hormonal birth control pill, the level of testosterone in your body goes down.

The pill also suppresses ovulation, during which a woman is most likely to feel in the mood for sex. If you find yourself in a position where you don’t want to have sex, trust us with birth control. Women may experience low sex drive during pregnancy.

No. Movies and media often exaggerate how “constant” sexual desire is, but in reality people fall across a wide spectrum—from very high to very low interest.

3) Can stress affect my interest in sex?

Yes. Mental load, work pressure, family responsibilities, and emotional strain can all reduce sexual interest without anything being “wrong” with you.

4) Is low interest in sex always a problem?

Not necessarily. The only problem is if it troubles or conflicts you in your life, or with the people close to you. If you are okay with it, you may simply be this way.

5) Can my interest change over time?

No Love, emotional intimacy and sexual desire are related but not the same. You can be really fond of someone and without feeling strong sexual interest.

Yes. Some people are naturally more emotional, reserved or reflective and that will play into how much sex can feel like a priority to them.

For some people, they just feel very little or no sexual attraction to anyone ever. This is a human experience and part of natural variation.

10) How do I know if my level of interest is okay for me?

Ask yourself: Am I comfortable with how I feel? If your level of interest isn’t getting you in trouble, limiting your happiness or compromising your values it may be just right for you.
