Our libido naturally fluctuates over time. On Friday you might feel extremely horny and can jump on anything, but by the Saturday, you’re not up for it. This is completely normal, but if you’re feeling like the latter for an extended period of time and you’re wondering ‘why is my sex drive so low?’ then carry on reading as we have a few tips that might help you get your mojo back.
What is sex drive?
Also known as libido, sex drive is a person’s desire to engage in sexual activity. It affects both men and women and can change because of a whole number of different factors including: diet, mental or physical health, age, or medication. Low sex drive in women can be due to reasons including the time of the month, hormone changes, or even the birth control you’re taking. A low sex drive in men could be because of lower testosterone levels or lifestyle changes. However, there are several ways to help heighten a low sex drive.
