Problems in long-term relationships - Sexologist advises how to return desire in a relationship

(123рф) Libido depends on many factors

“We cannot function all the time, filled with passion and constantly thinking about our partner. It would interfere with our daily functioning. Therefore, it is natural that desire weakens over time. says Anna Golan, sexologist, head of the Therapy Room in Warsaw.

Libido is not a constant value, it changes with age and depends on many factors, so the appetite for sex may temporarily decrease.

“Desire goes through different cycles. For example, most women want sex more during ovulation, our expert adds. It is worth noting that it weakens during menstruation.

What are the reasons for the reluctance?

- There can be many of them, they are on the side of both women and men. It is important that partners are healthy, whether they have hormonal problems, for example. In a man over 40, testosterone levels decrease. Craving also fades in a relationship when one or two partners stop caring about their attractiveness. And I don't just mean looks. The desire to be attractive to another person means that we develop, change our personality, give ourselves free time and the opportunity to miss ourselves, our expert explains.

Among other reasons for the lack of desire indicate the mental state and the physical state. Stress and fatigue effectively suppress desire. Depression and illness work in a similar way. Age is also important, as is the performance associated with it, namely its absence. Routine is also the enemy of desire in a relationship.
