What's behind men's low libido

MEN'S LOW LIBIDO CAUSES

MEDICAL CAUSES

Low testosterone levels can lead to a drop in men's libido . In particular, with age, hormone production decreases and the intensity of male sexual desire. But other factors of a medical nature can cause lack of libido: drug treatments, illness, unhealthy lifestyle - regular intake of psychotropic substances or alcoholism, are often sources of origin.

PSYCHOLOGICAL CAUSES

Mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety can obviously abate our libido. The so called stress increasingly present in our life, as well as overwork and fatigue, are also enemies of our libido.

Not to forget mentioning the routine and lack of communication between couple that are undeniable brakes on our sexual desire.

Several sexologists indicate that the drop in libido can be a way for the body to express an imbalance in the functioning of the couple which, failing to be expressed verbally, will manifest itself physically. It is an unconscious protection mechanism that is put in place. It is, therefore, important in this type of situation to ask about the emotional imbalance that has arisen: what is the unsolved problem? The unspoken hidden?
