Among unmarried couples, sexual apathy accounts for 2%, but it is rare for people to truly have no sexual desire.

Methods for treating apathy
Sexual apathy may be caused by sexual trauma in childhood. Due to being violated and harassed by the opposite sex, I developed a sense of fear and fear towards the opposite sex, and dared not engage in contact with them, resulting in the formation of incorrect ideas and concepts. I still harbor a hatred and revenge towards the opposite sex in my heart. In this way, one loses interest and demands in sex, making oneself extremely abnormal and depressed.
Scientific sex education should be conducted and more sexual knowledge should be learned. Realize that sexual desire is like appetite. Just like when we are usually hungry, we must eat. This is a physiological and psychological need that a normal person should have. Don't feel ashamed and dirty. If one cannot satisfy their normal and reasonable desires, it will hinder their physical and mental development. When you have sexual desires, you can try to satisfy them, but you should pay attention to adopting the correct sexual approach in order to protect yourself.
Having sexual desire is very normal. When you have that desire, you can express it clearly. If you suppress yourself, it will evolve into sexual apathy in the long run. This can cause great harm to one's physical and mental health.
Correct incorrect ideological concepts. Be kind to yourself, get rid of those dark and negative thoughts, and let your soul face the sunshine. Try to socialize with the opposite sex, often when others are not what you imagine. To have a correct understanding of the opposite sex, one gradually develops a favorable impression, changes one's own state, and sexual apathy gradually disappears.
Dietary therapy can be used to treat frigidity. Eating chocolate and oatmeal regularly can have a certain effect on treating aloofness. Oysters are also a food that enhances sexual desire. Drinking some red wine appropriately can also help enhance sexual desire.
