What is Desire Discrepancy?

Low libido, or reduced sexual desire, refers to a persistent lack of interest in sexual activity. While fluctuations in sexual desire are normal, long-term low libido can cause distress and affect relationships. It is often a symptom of underlying physical, psychological, or hormonal issues.

Why and How Does It Happen?

Why and How Does It Happen?

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone, thyroid disorders, or high prolactin levels can decrease sexual desire.

  • Chronic Stress & Mental Health Issues: Anxiety, depression, and high stress levels can suppress libido by increasing cortisol production.

  • Fatigue & Sleep Deprivation: Poor sleep quality and exhaustion reduce energy levels and lower interest in sex.

  • Relationship Issues: Emotional disconnect, unresolved conflicts, or lack of intimacy can contribute to low sexual desire.

  • Medications & Substance Use: Antidepressants (SSRIs), blood pressure medications, and excessive alcohol or drug use can affect libido.

  • Chronic Illnesses: Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and other long-term conditions can impact sexual desire.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet, lack of exercise, and sedentary habits can lead to low energy and reduced sexual drive.

  • Past Trauma or Sexual Dysfunction: Negative past experiences or conditions like erectile dysfunction and delayed ejaculation can cause avoidance of sexual activity.
