LOW LIBIDO IN MEN

A recent publication by the American Medical Association states that low libido is the second most frequent sexual disorder in males after premature ejaculation. What includes a low libido for a person is subjective and dependent on various factors, but it invariably implies a decrease in sexual desire. Low libido is caused by physical or mental health issues, and sexual desire usually declines with age.

It is significantly less prevalent than erectile dysfunction, which should not be mistaken for it.

Males who lack libido might get erections but lack the desire to have sex. Impotence and libido loss is not the same thing. Men who suffer from impotence, on the other hand, frequently report a decline in desire with time. When libido falls, impotence is not an issue.

Any medical issue or persistent physical ailment might induce a decrease in sex drive. However, even slight ailments might reduce a man's sexual desire. Men's libido is likely to grow when they improve their health through exercise, a low-fat diet, or if required, psychological medical treatment.
