Did Someone say Sexual Desire?

Men say their partners don’t want to have sex, have less libido, and are not initiating being intimate.  Why? Let’s look at women and sex as compared with men and sex.  Some say these two groups have equivalent levels of desire but that it is the factors behind desire that vary greatly. 
For woman the connection with the mind plays a very significant role in her desire for sex.  For men the physical draw is the main driving force. According to Psychology Today “Sexual desire in females is both more complex and more fragile than it is in males—less tied to biology, more linked to psychology.” It seems to me, we could use this statement to refer to much about the differences between men and women.

In some studies, men say they think about sex at least once a day whereas only 25% of women say they think about it with this frequency.  For women, their desire is related to environment and context. Work stress, relationship issues, other stress factors and declining hormones all impact a woman’s craving for sex.  Women’s sexual desires fluctuate over the years, and during the month in comparison to men who maintain a reasonable steady desire.  

Antidepressant medications are known to reduce libido and these medications are being prescribed more and more in our current society.  If you are on antidepressant medication which is resulting in a loss of libido, ask yourself if there may be other options for managing your emotional state besides drugs. These drugs affect more than just your depression. Their use may contribute to problems within your relationships due to lack of libido. In this case, it’s a choice between two evils: depression and limited desire for sexual contact.   But there are other options you just need to seek them out.

Low libido isn’t a problem on its own.  The only time you need help with low sexual libido is if it is causing you distress.   Or if it is causing distress within your relationship.  Men and women differ significantly in the factors influencing sexual desire; that’s normal.  Accepting the differences between  couples and their desires is just one aspect of managing a successful relationship.
