Caraka says that a man is sexually drawn to a woman by his own libido, aphrodisiac drugs and above all, by the splendid qualities of the woman. The best stimulant of all is a merry and pretty woman.
Lack of sex drive (lack of libido) is extremely common in women but quite rare in men. Even men with erectile dysfunction (ED) usually have a perfectly normal sex drive.
Let’s look at the possible causes in the two sexes – males first.
How common is lack of libido in men?
It’s far less common than erectile dysfunction – with which it should not be confused.
Most men with lack of libido can achieve erections, but have lost the desire to have sex.
A man with decreased libido thinks less about sex. He loses interest in sexual activities. Even visual stimulation or touch stimulations may fail to provoke interest, though he may physically have the capacity for sex.
What are the causes of lack of libido in men?
The causes can be either physical or psychological.
Physical causes
• alcoholism – quite common.
• abuse of drugs – such as cocaine.
• anaemia – unusual unless the man has been bleeding for any reason.
• hyperprolactinaemia – an uncommon disorder in which too much of the hormone prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland.
• obesity – quite common; simply slimming down will often help.
• prescribed drugs – tablet used for prostate problems and blood – pressure
• low male hormone level (testosterone)
• any major ‘generalised’ diseases, such as diabetes.
Psychological causes
Psychological causes include:
• depression – very common
• stress and overwork
• sex hang-ups
• latent homo – sexuality
• Serious relationship problems with the wife / partner.
What are causes of low – libodo (frigidity) in women?
Physical
• Fluctuation in female hormone levels, especially after menopause
• Brith control pills may affect libido, sexual arousal and also may cause less vaginal lubrication. Less lubrication means painful intercourse and may put off the woman from sex.
• Other medications, special psychotic drugs, drugs for B.P. etc also may cause lack of interest in sex.
• Fatigue. Tired working women, over loaded with domestic and official work progress to frigidity just because fatigue.
• Vaginitis, (inflammation of the vagina) cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), endometriosis, under – active thyroid gland, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, mucular dystrophy and surgical removed of uterus – these all could be some or the causes for frigidity.
Psychological causes
These causes are very common. It’s entirely understandable that when a woman is having a bad time emotionally, she may lose interest in sex.
Psychological causes include:
depression
stress and over work
anxiety
hang-ups from childhood
past sexual abuse or rape
latent lesbianism
serious relationship problems with the husband/partner
difficult living conditions – eg sharing a home with parents or parents-in-law.
