п»їLibido and sexual desire, why can they decrease?
You've probably heard about it, but you may not be very clear what the libido is exactly. We explain how it influences your sexual relationships and what happens when it decreases.




The RAE defines the term libido as "sexual desire, considered by some authors as the impulse and root of the most various manifestations of psychic activity". Theories aside, what is clear is that libido is largely responsible for our sexual appetite. On other occasions we have already talked about it, teaching you some ways to raise your libido naturally. But what is it exactly? Beyond the physical attraction for a person, the libido and sexual desire have more to do with a hormonal question and with different psychological factors.

Hormones and libido As we anticipated, hormones have much to do with the increase of libido, specifically the sex hormones: testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. The first is the male sex hormone (although it is also present in women, but to a lesser extent) that occurs in the testicles. Testosterone not only influences aspects such as the development of the male genitalia, in the transformation of the voice, in the appearance of hair or in the increase of muscle mass. It is also responsible for increasing libido and sexual desire, as well as maintaining erections.
On the other hand, estrogen and progesterone, the female sex hormones, come into play in female libido. Oestrogens are produced in the ovaries and released in greater quantities before ovulation. Along with serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine (released, among other things, when we practice sports), they produce a feeling of wellbeing in the brain. Estrogens and progesterone go hand in hand, they are hormones that complement each other. As far as sexual desire is concerned, they act by increasing it, because they are responsible for the excitement and the sensation of fullness.

Why can libido and sexual desire decrease? As we have said, sex hormones directly influence desire and attraction. Therefore, a reduction of the normal levels of the hormones that we have mentioned can be translated in a decrease of the sexual interest (something that is habitual during the menopause), in an absence of lubrication or in episodes of erectile dysfunction. This reduction in hormone levels can be due to natural causes such as age itself or the taking of some medications or contraceptives, such as the pill, for example.
Other factors that can cause a decrease in libido are:
- Hormonal imbalances.
- Some diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease or depression.
- Changes in contraceptive methods.
- Stress
- Obesity
- Harmful habits such as excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages or drugs.
- Excessive practice of exercise in the case of men. Although it can not be confirmed that high-intensity sports and often reduce sexual appetite, a recent study published in Medicine and Sciences in Sports & Medicine, has observed a close relationship in it.
