The level of libido is primarily influenced by hormones, mental and social factors, and age. Incorrect levels of sex hormones, irregular lifestyle, stress, stimulants - all of these can have a negative impact on the feeling of desire.
Libido can weaken almost anything. From problems at work, insomnia, long-term indigestion, to a change in weather. Most often, the sex drive in women decreases during the menopause, when hormone imbalance occurs. It is also smaller when there is too much prolactin in the body of a woman - a high concentration of this hormone occurs, among others in nursing mothers, to avoid another pregnancy too soon. Chronic stress is also an important factor influencing the increase in prolactin. In men, libido decreases after the age of 45, when testosterone production drops sharply.
