Nutrition: Nutrition is the material foundation of sexual life. Malnutrition can cause amenorrhea in women. Research results show that the lack of important trace elements such as protein and zinc can cause sexual dysfunction. Adequate and complete nutrition, especially eating foods containing high-quality protein, multiple vitamins, and zinc, can maintain normal levels of sexual function. However, it should also be noted that excessive nutrition can cause obesity, while severe obesity is prone to decreased libido.
Emotion: When people are in a bad mood, their sexual desire tends to temporarily decline, especially in severe situations such as extreme sadness, terror, indignation, sadness, depression, and despair. Sexual desire can be significantly affected, even completely lost. As bad emotions subside, sexual desire will also recover, but in general, the recovery time is slower than when bad emotions subside.
3. Smoking and alcohol addiction: Women who are addicted to alcohol are prone to sexual dysfunction, reduced vaginal discharge, causing pain and lack of pleasure in sexual life, resulting in decreased libido. However, the impact of tobacco and alcohol on sexual function is reversible, and most people's sexual function can gradually return to normal levels after abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.
4. Drugs: Taking certain drugs for a long time or in large quantities can cause sexual dysfunction and even cause sexual apathy in women. There are many types of drugs that affect sexual function. Among them, the main and common ones are: reserpine, Rauwolfu, propranolol, chlorpromazine, ibuprofen, and some anticancer drugs. Longer periods of radiation therapy can also lead to decreased libido.
5. Living conditions: Living in a disorganized, poorly ventilated, overcrowded environment can not only cause poor mood, but also lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain due to insufficient indoor fresh air, affecting sexual function and reducing libido. In particular, several generations of people living in the same room or sleeping in the same bed with their children can cause intangible stress and easily lead to decreased libido. When living conditions improve, this decline will quickly return to normal.
Age: This is an important factor affecting sexual desire. Women's sexual desire does not reach its peak until they are 30 to 40 years old, and gradually declines after menopause. A significant proportion of young women have less strong demands on sexual life itself, and even lack initiative. It is not surprising that their sexual desire needs to be awakened by their husbands.
Season and temperature: In winter and spring, when the temperature is low, most people have strong sexual desire, especially in spring, which is called courtship season, while in sweaty summer, sexual desire often temporarily decreases. Some women's libido is closely related to the menstrual cycle, often increasing a few days before the onset of menstruation, while some people have a stronger libido about a week after the onset of menstruation.
8. Stimulation, inducement, and sexual life history: Sexual desire is actually a conditioned reflex. In addition to internal causes, external stimuli are also important.
Emotion: The relationship between husband and wife's emotions and sexual desire is very close and quite subtle. This is not surprising, because unlike other animals, the generation of sexual desire is not simply a biological instinct, but is often triggered by love.
Therefore, there are obstacles in the relationship between husband and wife, especially when it reaches the level of rupture, resulting in mutual boredom and decreased sexual desire. Moreover, some couples appear calm and never argue, but they distrust each other and harbor mutual suspicion. This seemingly estranged couple can also cause decreased libido due to a bad mood. Therefore, sexual harmony between couples stems from emotional harmony between couples.
10. Health status: The impact of health status on sexual desire is both important and complex, as only physically and mentally healthy individuals can maintain normal sexual desire for a long time. However, there are indeed some patients with severe diseases who maintain strong sexual desire just like healthy people. Therefore, for this issue, it is necessary to distinguish between different situations and conduct a specific analysis.
Our sexual function tends to decrease when we are extremely tired or chronically fatigued. At the same time, long-term mental stress or various psychological disorders, even when in a psychologically unhealthy state, can also affect sexual function. We should overcome the above factors, and such sexual functions will recover quickly.
There are too many helplessness and fatigue in life, but both spouses must encourage each other, overcome the factors that lead to low sexual desire, adjust their mindset, and return their lives to ambiguity and lingering.
