Many people are suffering from loss of sexual desire in themselves or their loved ones. Because of the old consciousness in their minds, people would rather suffer this unspeakable pain in silence than go to the doctor. The correct approach is to check the cause yourself first. If it can be eliminated by yourself, you should take effective measures immediately. According to surveys, among the many factors that lead to loss of sexual desire, more than half can be eliminated by oneself, while the rest require help from a doctor. To sum up, the following factors can reduce sexual desire.

1. Emotion: When a person is in a bad mood, sexual desire is likely to decrease temporarily. Especially in bad states such as extreme sadness, fear, depression and despair, sexual desire will be significantly affected and may even be completely lost. As the bad mood subsides, sexual desire will also recover, but generally the recovery time is slower than the mood adjustment. For example, after a person is severely frightened, it takes a week for his sexual desire to return to normal levels. In view of this, when your lover is in a bad mood, the first priority is to help him or her eliminate the bad mood, and you should not have sex at this time.

2. Nutrition: Nutrition is the material basis of sex. Most middle-aged people have this experience: During the severe natural disasters in the 1960s, people were generally malnourished, which caused many men's sexual function to decline and women's amenorrhea. Research results show that the lack of important trace elements such as protein and zinc can cause sexual dysfunction, especially for men. On the contrary, adequate and complete nutrition, especially eating more foods containing high-quality protein, multivitamins and zinc, can maintain the normal level of sexual function.

3. Addicted to tobacco and alcohol: Don’t underestimate smoking. Long-term heavy smokers are more likely to cause impotence than non-smokers. Long-term alcohol addiction can cause sexual dysfunction and decreased sexual desire. According to research, sexual dysfunction is as high as 50% in men with chronic alcoholism and 25% in women. Heavy drinking can cause dilation of blood vessels throughout the body, insufficient blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to achieve an erection, and ejaculation will occur quickly if an erection is barely achieved. Women who drink alcohol are prone to reduced vaginal secretions, causing sexual intercourse pain and anhedonia, thus leading to decreased sexual desire. However, the effects of smoking and alcohol on sexual function are reversible. After quitting smoking and drinking, most people's sexual function can gradually return to normal levels.

4. Drugs: Long-term or large-scale use of certain drugs can cause sexual dysfunction and even cause impotence in men and frigidity in women. There are many types of drugs that affect sexual function, among which the important and common ones are: reserpine, rauwolfia, propranolol, chlorpromazine, promethazine and some anti-cancer drugs. Long-term radiation therapy can also lead to decreased sexual desire. There are also some sedatives, sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs.

5. Living conditions: Living in a messy, poorly ventilated, and overcrowded environment will not only cause poor mood, but also cause a lack of fresh indoor air. Insufficient, leading to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, affecting sexual function and reducing sexual desire. Especially when several generations live in the same room or sleep in the same bed with their children, this will create invisible psychological pressure and easily lead to loss of sexual desire. When living conditions improve, this decline can quickly return to normal.

6. Season and temperature: According to surveys, most people have strong sexual desire in winter and spring when the temperature is low, especially spring, which is considered the courtship season. However, in the sweaty midsummer, sexual desire often weakens temporarily. The sexual desire of some women is closely related to the menstrual cycle, and sexual desire often increases a few days before menstruation. Some of them are stronger about a week after the onset of menstruation. Most women experience some loss of sexual desire during pregnancy. Men's sexual desire also has cyclical changes, but most of them are not obvious.

7. Age: This is an important factor affecting sexual desire. Most men's sexual desire reaches its climax after puberty, and begins to weaken when they are 30-40 years old. It weakens significantly from about 50 years old, but most can maintain it until 70 years old, or even longer. A woman's sexual desire does not reach its peak until she is 30-40 years old, gradually decreases after menopause, and begins to weaken significantly around the age of 60. It is not surprising that a considerable number of young women do not have strong demands for sexual life and lack initiative. Their sexual desire needs to be awakened by their husbands.
