Also be aware that for some people, alcohol consumption and tobacco use can influence sexual responsiveness and desire. Many people can have a relatively problem-free sexual response through to very old age. However, there may be brief periods in your life when bodily changes decrease sexual appetite. One symptom is reduced sexual desire. Women are now experiencing signs of peri-menopause as early as 35 years old.
Men can go through hormonal changes also.
Having testosterone levels checked is a simple blood test that can be performed by your family doctor. Both men and women may benefit from hormonal replacement if their hormonal levels are insufficient. Think about overall health. Consider psychological conditions. Emotions and mood can have a negative effect on sexual desire.
