21 Reasons Why You May Have a Low Libido
Whenever clients approach me feeling frustrated and distressed because their sex drive has disappeared and they want to know how to get it back, I always say the same thing.
What if you don’t have a low libido out of the blue, but there are very real and tangible causes- physical, emotional, relational, psychological, and usually a combination of all of them?
I’ve compiled 21 possible reasons why you have a low libido- and there are many more.
How many of these can you tick off?
- Chronic work stress
- Unresolved relationship stress
- Not enough support as a parent
- Unresolved trauma
- Hormone imbalances
- Lingering effects from Purity Culture or sex-negative messages from your Faith
- Ongoing racial microaggressions
- Diet culture hangover- internalized body shame
- Sex has become stale
- You don’t self-pleasure
- The sex being offered is not what turns you on
- You aren’t having your emotional needs met
- Your anti-depressants are numbing your orgasmic response
- It’s the Pill
- You don’t believe you are worthy of having what you want
- You aren’t asking for what you want
- You have become stuck in “freeze” and “fawn”
- You don’t know your unique turn-on’s
- You’re not getting enough clitoral stimulation
- You’ve internalized what it means to be a sexual woman
- You don’t have enough quality time with your partner
