Too tired to have sex? Is life getting in the way of you making love?
Could this be the end of your relationship?
There is a condition that you could be experiencing, called hypoactive sexual drive disorder. This occurs when there sexual drive and fantasies are absent.
This is considered a disorder if it causes problems for the patient or problems in the patient’s relationships.
In a recent study in the United States, about 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men have admitted having sexual difficulty in one way or another. Lack of libido occurs more in women than in men. Men who have erectile dysfunction do not necessarily have low libido.
How often does low sexual drive occur?
The American Medical Association has estimated that several million US women suffer from what doctors there call “‘female sexual arousal disorder”‘ (FSAD). In the UK, family planning clinics and related clinics see quite large numbers of women who complain of low libido. Our estimate is that several hundred thousand women in Britain are troubled by lack of sex drive.
A lack of sex drive is much less common in men than erectile dysfunction. It is important to remember that having a low libido doesn’t affect the ability to get an erection, it just causes a lack of desire.
