ThriveOnline Everyone has a sex drive. However, when your libido rises or falls dramatically, or you get involved with someone who has a different sex drive than you do, it can become an issue. Before you start thinking of your sex drive as a problem, however, remember that if you're happy, then there is nothing to worry about. Some people are perfectly satisfied having sex once a year or not at all, others get antsy if they don't have sex twice a day. A decrease in desire is also a normal result of the aging process and long-term relationships.
Most people notice a decrease in their sex drive at some point in their lives.
Menopause and giving birth frequently trigger libido changes in women. Before going on any new medication, you should discuss the possible sexual side effects with your doctor. Internal, external and relationship stress can all be major factors in a sagging libido. If you are struggling with your self image, experiencing difficulties at work, or having problems in your relationship, sex may not be at the top of your to-do list. Stress causes fatigue, which often results in a decreased interest in sex.
