Understanding Loss of Interest in Sex

Loss of interest in sex, also known as low libido or sexual desire disorder, can manifest as a reduced interest in sexual activity, fantasies, or thoughts. It’s not just a phase; for many, it’s a significant concern that can affect self-esteem, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Possible Causes of Decreased Sexual Interest:
