We are often surrounded by the idea that men always want sex. But a man's libido is very complicated and very individual. Sexual hormones play a great role in stimulation in both men and women and hormones rise and fall throughout the day and the month in both men and women. The primary "sex" hormone for men and women is TESTOSTERONE. It drives much of the desire and the physical stimulation that makes women receptive and men capable of sexual thought and activity. When Testosterone drops, women lose interest and men can have erectile dysfunction (ED) problems and a loss of desire. Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great source of correcting LOW LIBIDO in both men and women and helps most men with E.D.
Men are very visually stimulated and much like women are just not turned on by every woman or by every situation. Stress, illness, family dynamics all play a roll in libido. Some men want more sex than others just as women do. For some sexual desire is more societal and for others it is primarily hormonal. While one person may consider having sex multiple times a day "normal" others are happy with a few times a month. there is no "normal frequency" that is considered healthy sexual desire but not having any desire would be considered unhealthy, particularly if the person is upset by the lack of desire.
Testosterone and Estrogen fall at a high rate after the peak child bearing years in women and in men. As these 2 key hormones fall the "sex drive" responds in kind and sexual function and desire is diminished.
