Men and women can suffer from a
low sex drive. Stress, relationship issues, and underlying medical conditions are common factors that affect sexual desire. Regardless of the reason, a lack of intimacy and sexuality can strain relationships and trigger mental and physical health concerns.
While it’s normal to experience a lack of desire sometimes, consistent disinterest in sex can have long-term effects on your overall well-being and relationships. Low sex drive therapy to improve sexual desire can encourage people to share their feelings and facilitate recovery for optimal sexual enjoyment.

Low sexual desire, also known as low libido, can happen at any point in life. It can leave men and women with a lack of passion and reduced self-esteem when they can’t enjoy sex or satisfy their partner. Although the main symptom of low sexual desire is not wanting to have sex with your partner, other symptoms include a lack of interest in all sexual activity.
