What causes low libido and loss of sexual desire?
There are hundreds of possible causes for loss libido. Stress and exhaustion certainly top the list these days. Then there’s hating your body; feeling angry, worried, or preoccupied; painful intercourse; bad sex in general; or any combination of the above. Psychiatric conditions like depression can make you lose sexual desire. So can medications such as oral contraceptives. Other biological factors probably play a role in loss of libido as well, in ways we don’t yet fully understand. Trauma from your past can make you not want to have sex—sometimes years or decades later, when you least expect it. So can being abused or mistreated by your current partner. Or knowing there’s no future in the relationship, but not being quite ready to leave. Often it’s best to think of the question in reverse: What are the sources of desire in my life? Is the sex I’ve been having with my partner really worth desiring? If not, let’s think about what you might do to improve the situation.

YOU ARE IN LOVE, BUT NOT SEXUALLY AROUSED
For many, emotional intimacy is essential for sexual intimacy. Often, decreased arousal is not simply due to a breakdown in intimate communication, but from a larger issue, a loss of trust in your partner, financial or family stressors, or unresolved issues from the past. Luisa guides each individual and couple to identify the root of the problem, help strengthen your connection with your partner, and transform unsatisfying sexual and relationship patterns to a more fulfilling sexual life. |
