What is Low Sex Drive?
Sexual drive and frequency in adults varies tremendously, depending on a variety of factors. While people may sometimes have less sex than they would like due to a lack of time or opportunity, it is not unusual for both men and women to experience a low sex drive or low libido, which leads to less frequent sex. While low sex drive is thought to be more common in women, more and more men are also encountering this type of sexual dysfunction.

Diagnosing Low Sex Drive
Sometimes libido is low due to factors related to lifestyle. Very often you may feel fatigued after a long day at work, have financial pressures, personal stress - or a legitimate headache. In addition, unresolved personal issues within a relationship may also escalate into a state where a low libido and a low sex drive becomes the norm. Research has shown that most men who experience a low sex drive can achieve erections, but have lost the sexual desire. Similarly many women can reach an orgasm, but have no real sexual desire.
