Sexual desire is a normal physiological phenomenon, generally after entering puberty, as the sexual organs develop and mature, people begin to have sexual desire. In young adults, the secretion of androgens and estrogens is strong, and people's sexual desire is stronger. But as we age, our libido gradually declines, and I feel powerless in terms of sex.
What steals people's sexuality?
1. Oral contraceptives
Studies have shown that oral contraceptives can reduce female sexual desire, making sexual arousal and orgasm more difficult. Because the main component of the pill is estrogen or progesterone, it can disrupt the hormonal balance in the female body. In this case, other methods of contraception need to be changed, such as an intrauterine device or wearing a condom.
2. Body obesity
Normal-weight people tend to have satisfying sex. Body obesity can alter male hormone levels and affect male or female sexual desire. In addition, obese people have slow blood circulation, poor body energy, and weaken the heart's ability to pump blood, which in turn affects sexual function
3. Have diabetes or prostate disease
30% of male diabetic patients are accompanied by erectile dysfunction, especially when blood sugar is not well controlled, persistent hyperglycemia can damage blood vessels, affect blood circulation throughout the body, reduce blood flow to sexual organs, and then cause erectile dysfunction. In addition, patients with an enlarged prostate need to be treated with reductase inhibitors, which are prone to erectile dysfunction; Surgery or chemoradiotherapy due to prostate cancer causes the peripheral nerves of the prostate to be removed or damaged, causing impotence
4. Depressed mood or taking antihypertensive drugs
Depression can reduce people's libido, coupled with the use of antidepressants can inhibit the secretion of dopamine hormone, which in turn harms libido. In addition, some antihypertensive drugs can also cause erectile dysfunction in men, in which case antihypertensive drugs need to be replaced under the guidance of a doctor.
5. Joint pain
Joint pain caused by arthritis can affect sex, because it often occurs at night and can be painful from turning over, let alone sex.
6. Have thyroid disease
Middle-aged and elderly women are at high risk of thyroid disease, and hypothyroidism can greatly reduce women's sexual desire, as well as physical fatigue and depression and decreased libido.
7. Alcoholism
Alcohol abuse can affect the body's ability to balance and coordination, causing skin pain loss; At the same time, it will also bring adverse effects to sex; Long-term alcohol abuse can also damage the heart and liver, which in turn affects sexual function.
8. Cold feet and a sense of smell failure
Studies have found that keeping women's feet warm improves their sense of safety and comfort, so sleeping with socks or soaking their feet in hot water before going to bed can boost libido. The sense of smell can affect people's sexual desire and attraction, and men with general loss of smell have much less sex than normal men.
9. Use hair growth drugs
Drugs used to treat baldness should cause loss of libido or erectile dysfunction because they inhibit male hormones and thus harm sexual function.
It is necessary to find out the cause of the loss of libido in time, and then do a good job of prevention. Sex life is a matter for two people, only by working together can we get a wonderful feeling, so both men and women should communicate and exchange more and relieve psychological depression in time. If the loss of libido caused by the disease should actively find out the cause, and then targeted treatment. Try to quit the bad habit of smoking and alcohol abuse and ensure that you get enough sleep. At the same time, pay attention to the air circulation and quietness of the living room.
