There are times when your brain and your body find themselves at odds. Your body might tell you that you want to have sex, but your brain reassures you that you really don’t. Eventually, no matter how often your body insists about sex, your brain could win out, leading to general feelings of lethargy regarding intercourse. And while it is perfectly natural to not always feel like having sex, reoccurring apathy to sex is typically an indicator of a drop in libido. And low libido doesn’t just control your desire for sex; no, with low libido, you could also put yourself at risk of developing erectile dysfunction.
Low libido can develop due to a variety of causes: Stress, new medication, lack of sleep, and depression have all been found to cause low libido. Whatever the root cause, the results are always the same: Lack of desire concerning sex.
When a man experiences low libido, he’ll find himself no longer enjoying sexual activity, and he’ll eventually lose his desire to have sex altogether. When a man loses interest in sex, this can cause the body to struggle to produce an erection consistently, eventually culminating in the lack of ability to produce an erection at all.
While low libido can develop due to a variety of issues, thankfully, low libido is easy to overcome once it has been determined what the root cause is. Working with a health professional, you can pinpoint the cause of your low libido, make strides to overcome it, and your erection should return to its former glory.
But low libido typically can’t be beaten alone. So don’t skip the doctor for your low libido; seek help, and you can regain your sex life and erection.
