Libido refers to an individual's sexual desire or interest in sexual activity. It can vary significantly between individuals and can be influenced by various physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors.

Yes, having a low libido is normal for many individuals. Everyone's sex drive is different, and not all people desire frequent sexual activity. In addition, it’s extremely important to understand that a low libido doesn’t necessarily negatively impact your life or health.

A variety of factors can affect a woman's libido, including hormone imbalances (such as those related to menopause), stress, anxiety about sexual performance, and lifestyle choices. Increased cortisol levels from stress are associated with lower sexual function and desire. Additionally, certain medications, such as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), can also impact libido. Recognizing and addressing lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and diet can help enhance libido.
