Ten reasons why men are not interested in sex

Low male libido refers to a decrease in the level of sexual expression and sexual activity in men, and a decrease in sexual desire to varying degrees. A decrease in male libido will affect the normal sexual life of married couples. Normal sexual desire requirements vary depending on individual constitution and the environment in which they live. Therefore, when judging whether sexual desire has decreased, one can only compare it with one's previous sexual desire, and never compare it with the sexual desire of others. In fact, there are many reasons for this situation:

1. Diet

British psychologists recently pointed out that people who are overly particular about what they eat or who diet deliberately may not be as energetic or have as strong a sexual desire as those who eat casually. At the same time, due to their low sexual desire, they often find it difficult to control their diet and eat too much, which aggravates their low sexual desire and forms a vicious cycle.

2. Negative Emotions

Negative emotions refer to bad emotions such as mental depression, worry and melancholy. Experts believe that various bad visual and auditory sensations can cause people to have negative emotions, which will reduce their sexual interest and cause sexual frigidity.

Housing conditions, work pressure, career success or failure, etc., can have a great impact on sexual desire at certain times. If you are still immersed in stress when you return home, it will naturally affect your sexual desire.

4. Contraceptive methods

After tubal ligation, some women experience reduced sexual desire and suppressed sexual impulses due to psychological effects, which can be eliminated through psychological treatment. After vasectomy, men's sexual function is not affected. Some people's reduced sexual desire is also due to psychological factors. Women who have intrauterine devices placed for contraception may experience reduced sexual desire due to prolonged menstruation or increased menstrual blood volume. Oral contraceptives contain synthetic estrogen, which may reduce vaginal secretions, cause excessive dryness, and cause discomfort during sexual intercourse, thereby reducing sexual desire.

5. Husband and wife relationship

Generally speaking, a harmonious relationship between husband and wife can maintain the sexual desire level of both parties without causing major fluctuations. If the husband and wife have different views on sex and cannot eliminate the differences through conversation, the deepening of the contradiction will affect the sexual desire, frequency and method of sexual intercourse of both parties. The husband always requires his wife to obey his sexual demands unconditionally, regardless of his wife's body and emotions, which makes his wife hate sexual intercourse and affects her sexual desire. Similarly, if the wife makes excuses for various reasons and is unwilling to meet her husband's normal sexual demands, it will also change the husband's sexual desire. Of course, a long-term rigid, monotonous and routine sex life usually leads to a decrease in sexual desire, which should be paid special attention to in middle-aged couples.

6. Physical exercise

American psychologists conducted a survey on "exercise and sexual desire" among 2,000 women and found that 86% of women participated in their favorite sports (swimming, running, etc.) at least three times a week, of which 40% believed that exercise was conducive to arousing sexual desire, 31% believed that sexual desire increased significantly, and 25% were easy to reach orgasm. The research conclusion of experts from Harvard University in the United States is that the sexual desire of female swimmers in their 40s and 50s is as active as that in their 20s and 30s. 90% of them can enjoy a high level of sexual pleasure, while only 60% of non-exercisers can reach orgasm.

7. Tobacco and Alcohol

Most people who drink a small amount of alcohol (20 mg per 100 ml of blood alcohol) will feel euphoric, active, and have an increased libido. When the blood alcohol content exceeds 40 mg per 100 ml, people will behave clumsily, speak unclearly, and have a significant decrease in libido. If people drink excessively for a long time, their gonads may be poisoned, leading to testicular atrophy and decreased libido in men.

8. Obesity

Scientific research has confirmed that the sexual desire of men and women is mainly determined by the level of androgen in the body. As men's body fat increases, more androgen is converted into estrogen, and the concentration in the blood can increase by more than 1 times, inhibiting the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin, causing varying degrees of reduction in sexual function. Severely obese people have reduced sexual function, not only with low libido, but also with erection, sexual intercourse, ejaculation, orgasm and other obstacles.

9. Smell

When lovers reach a certain stage of bonding, a mysterious "switch" in the brain is immediately switched, and the brain's olfactory center transmits electrical signals to related parts, allowing lovers to unconsciously perceive each other's smell and produce a very subtle sexual response. Synthetic male pheromones can also affect the sex life of couples.

10. Constipation

Studies have shown that women with chronic constipation often have low libido or abnormal sex life. The anal sphincter of these people is too tight, or they have menstrual abdominal pain and vaginal spasms. More than half of them lack libido or cannot feel orgasm. Some constipated women have spasmodic contraction of the pelvic floor, which leads to urine retention, frequent urination, painful urination and other symptoms, which indirectly causes a decrease in libido.
