Common conclusions

Based on your answers it is unlikely that you have reduced libido. Libido refers to a person's desire for sexual activity. Another name for libido is "sex drive". It is actually difficult to say what a “normal” libido is, because it can vary significantly from one person to another. It is also perfectly normal for your libido to differ in different life circumstances. A person may have sexual desire on a daily basis, while sometimes they may be preoccupied with work or too tired to even think about sex. If your libido is not causing problems in your relationship, there is no need to seek professional help.

Reduced libido is a common problem that can occur at any time in life. It is often associated with stress, fatigue and relationship problems. It is not uncommon for people who are in a long-term relationship to become over familiar to their partner. Unfortunately, this is a common cause of low libido. Unresolved conflicts, frequent quarrels and poor communication can also lead to a decrease in sexual desire. Libido can also be affected by hormone levels, medications or some medical conditions.

Also, many men and women have reduced libido as they get older. Treatment options include medication, counseling, stress management and hormone therapy.
