Libido is a term for sexual desire. Describes a person's desire for sexual activity.
There is no numerical measurement for libido, usually referred to as low or high.
There are many things that can affect sexual desire from biological reasons to social or psychological factors.
When a person's libido is high, he or she probably longs for sexual intimacy and seeks it from a partner or through masturbation.
This behavior is completely normal, but too high a libido can impair the quality of life. It may be a sign of a hormonal imbalance or a neurological disorder.
Conversely, when libido is low, any interest in sex may be lacking, which may at least burden intimate relationships.
However, once the cause is determined, both extremes can be solved.
Male vs female libido
Male libido
The premise in men is that they think and have a desire for sex all the time.
In fact, one in five men has low sexual desire.
Problems range from psychological problems to low dopamine levels to medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Even in this case, social assumptions can cause considerable damage.
Men may feel that they should have sex all the time.
In this case, they may feel feelings of strong guilt and anxiety because they are unable to meet their masculine responsibilities.
Testosterone levels play a significant role in male libido. Promoting testosterone levels not only helps a healthy level of libido. With a balanced level, a man will achieve a happier mood, faster muscle building and other benefits associated with a healthier lifestyle.
Female libido
Women are shrouded in a lot of stereotypes.
Some assume they are cold and nervous, which is why they don't want sex.
However, the reality is completely different.
Female libido is often affected by legitimate medical and biological problems.
In fact, healthy young women have about ten times more circulating testosterone in their bodies.
Women may suffer from hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
Women who have this problem often want sex.
The problem, however, is that they are physically unable to feel desire.
How to increase libido
There are many ways to increase libido.
In case of real and more serious disorders, it is necessary to visit a doctor or therapist.
However, if this is a minor issue, you can try these options:
1. Treat yourself to quality sleep
Good sleep can improve a person's overall mood and energy level, and some research also links sleep quality to libido.
2. Try herbs to increase libido
There is little research on the effectiveness of herbal remedies in improving sexual function in both men and women.
Some find them beneficial.
Studies show that there are limited but emerging data that herbs such as ginkgo, maca, tribulus and ginseng can increase libido.
These herbs are properly contained in most aphrodisiacs for men and women.
3. Maintain a healthy weight
Maintaining a healthy body weight can improve a person's sexual appetite, both physically and mentally.
Healthy eating and regular exercise can achieve an overall increase in a person's energy level.
There are other factors from which scientists conclude that overweight can be linked to low libido.
4. Stop smoking
Cigarette smoking can have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system.
A healthy heart is important for proper functioning in this area as well.
If an individual quits smoking, he or she may find that energy levels and sexual appetite increase.
5. Don't be stressed
High levels of anxiety and stress are common barriers to sexual functioning in both men and women.
This may be gender-specific anxiety.
In such cases, regular exercise, mental hygiene, proper diet, meditation, relaxation, improving relationships and the like can help.
Sexual desire can be a sensitive topic.
However, this is a topic that needs to be addressed.
You, your partner or anyone else can seek professional help or try one of the above techniques.
Surely this level of desire will soon reach a pleasant, satisfying level!
