Libido Killers – Five Things You May Not Know About It
Reasons young women lose interest in sex.
Depression:
Even low-grade depression can result in a complete loss of libido.
Relationship issues:
Emotional turmoil has been shown to have a
negative impact on a woman’s desire
Unresolved conflict or unexpressed anger can definitely put a damper on desire, as can negative feelings, secrets or emotional upset. As you carry around negative feelings about your partner, your level of attraction for that person can wane dramatically, sometimes never to return. Whether it be something simple, such as lack of appropriate hygiene, or something more complex, such as infidelity, you need to deal with it before you can feel
sexual again with your partner.
Drugs and alcohol:
While a glass of wine helps some women relax and enjoy sex more, having too much to drink (or getting high) can numb physical sensation.
Stress,
Fear &

Anxiety:
When you’re under pressure, your
body is drained mentally and physically. As a result, most people don’t want sex until they’ve had time to rest and recover.
When we're experiencing stress, fear or anxiety, sex is usually the last thing on our minds. Work dilemmas, relationship woes, family issues and money problems can be devastating to our libidos: it's hard to feel sexy when you're worried about the mortgage payment. Fear and anxiety associated with sex itself can also be problematic. We often worry about everything from STDs to fear of pregnancy to sexual performance, all the while dampening our sex drives and hampering our chances to have a satisfying sexual experience.
Eating disorders & Body issues:
Body image issues aside, when your weight gets too low, your body goes into survival mode. The last thing it’s interested in – on a biological level – is procreation. Everyone hates some aspect of his or her body: flabby thighs, curved penis, small breasts, fat belly or hairy back. The reality, however, is that to have good feelings about sex, you have to have good feelings about your body. While no one is 100% satisfied with the way they look, many of us have learned to live with it. If you haven't, you might need to take some action.
