Libido, also known as sexual desire or sex drive, refers to the urge to indulge in sexual behavior. Generally, the libido of men is aroused more easily and faster than that of women. However, this can sometimes be lacking, in both men and women, and therefore cause disturbances in the couple's sexual life.

Women may experience sexual desire disorders linked to health problems, taking medication, stress, fatigue ... In this case, the drop in libido may be temporary. If it lasts, it may be necessary to see a specialist. Also, the woman can see her libido drop if she encounters problems within her marriage. Moreover, when all is well on the sexual drive side, women who are not on contraceptives see their libido wake up the days before ovulation, this is linked to the estrogen peak in the body. Finally, desire increases through time and experience, with sexual maturity occurring around the age of 35.

Just like in women, men can see their libido fluctuate over time and over time. Indeed, even in men, sexual desire is not infallible. Again, the causes can be psychological or medical. For example, stress, anxiety, family, financial or work problems, depression, diabetes, obesity ... can lead to variations in libido. Also, a poor lifestyle or a relationship fallen into the routine can cause disorders of sexual desire.

There is no accepted definition of what constitutes a "normal" level of sexual desire and it is now established that sexual behavior (masturbation, intercourse) is only an indirect and unreliable witness to the sexual desire experienced. .

It is therefore important to define if one feels a lack of libido compared to a theoretical norm that one would have internalized, compared to the level of desire of the partner, compared to another period of his life ( or his life as a couple), or in relation to another partner.

Nature provides us with elements that can help restore our physical energy and in so doing, our desire.
