I figured with this wonderful holiday of love right around the corner I might put a post about lack of desire for all you ladies. For those of you who don't need any help here, I can guarantee you have a friend that does, since approximately 33% of women between 18 and 59 years of age reported a loss of desire for at least a few months over the last year according to a National Health and Social Life Survey . It is rare for men to have this problem, but I am sure there is always an exception to the rule.
Some of the causes of this could be physical, while some are psychological.
Physical causes
* Anemia, which is very common in women because of iron loss during periods.
* Alcoholism.
* Drug abuse.
* Major diseases such as diabetes.
* Post-baby. It is almost certainly linked to hormonal changes that occur at this time. The general trauma of childbirth also plays a part - and after having a baby, many women are too exhausted to think about sex.
* Prescribed drugs, particularly tranquillizers.
* Hyperprolactinaemia - a rare disorder in which the pituitary gland is overactive.
* Other hormone abnormalities: leading Swiss gynecologist Dr Michael Nemec claims that abnormalities in the production of luteinising hormone (LH) often cause lack of desire. And top British gynecologist John Studd says that many women who have lost their libido lack androgenic (male) hormones. This view remains controversial.
Psychological causes
* depression
* stress and overwork
* anxiety
* hang-ups from childhood
* past sexual abuse or rape
* serious relationship problems with your partner
* difficult living conditions, eg sharing a home with parents or parents-in-law.
