Why do not you want sex?

Several years ago, scientists proved that the sexual appetites of men laid in their genes. Someone inherited from ancestors goes high libido - they want every day, someone wish to visit once a week, and others, in general, asexual - content with a platonic love.

Depending on various circumstances of libido may slightly vary: so, for example, on vacation want sex more than when you work on the wear, but in general - is a constant. If it suddenly decreases significantly - there is reason to think about health. To start on the physical.
Play, hormone!

Sexual desire - it is the libido - is directly linked to the hormonal level, or more precisely with the male sex hormones, or more precisely with testosterone. Most of it is produced in the testes under the control of the central nervous system. If a lot of testosterone, a sexual appetite for men above the average. It is believed that the distinctive features of such a macho man: stocky build, short temper, which appeared early in the bald spot and increased hairiness in those places where it is not always desirable - in the face, chest, back and buttocks. Most often, the way it is. At least, sexually preoccupied Southerners are much more sexually concerned northerners.

With age, the amount of testosterone in the blood is gradually reduced (by about 1-2% per year), however, sixty years before this process goes unnoticed. Accelerate its quite difficult (after all a man's body in terms of hormones fairly balanced system), but if you really try, you can. If, say, a sharp recover twenty pounds, long and hard to abuse alcohol, to receive blows between his legs, located next to the open-source radiation, or take hormonal drugs that reduce testosterone levels in the blood. Incidentally, the last way the British justice is going to be used against rapists. You can not control their sexual impulses - will make. With the help of "drugs from lust.

Another factor influencing the male libido, identified in 2007, American scientists led by Professor Peter Gray. They examined about two hundred cattle in North Kenya - measured at each level of testosterone. As a result, it became clear that the more a man of legitimate wives, the less he hormone. Well, and, accordingly, the most brutal were bachelors. What was the reason that the investigation - the science is still unknown.

Until now it was only about men. However, among women the situation is fundamentally no different - for the libido meets the same testosterone. What it more, the more thoughts about sex. Although seemingly male hormone, and is produced in the ovaries ...

Female hormones are not as stable as male. Then play a role and menstrual cycle and pregnancy to childbirth, and menopause. So in the physiological reasons for the decline of libido without a gynecologist with the endocrinologist can not tell. But if the testosterone levels in women fell on level ground, under suspicion in the first place to get oral contraceptives.

In 2005, the world was shocked discovery of scientists from Boston University. They proved that prolonged use of contraceptive pills leads to the fact that in the blood of women begins to produce substances which neutralize testosterone. Those who regularly is protected using oral contraceptives, the number of male hormone in the blood is almost four times lower than those who prefer other methods. And most worryingly, even the complete abandonment of tablets libido does not return to its original level.
Surprise

If it was limited only by hormones, it would be simple. Check the level of testosterone, adjusted pills - now is not the problem, and the trick. However, the libido is more sophisticated. It is not enough blood had a certain amount of testosterone to another, to the brain to react to it appropriately. And how would respond to the human brain, is in chronic stress, or, God forbid, a prolonged depression? Not. Still, the instinct for survival is stronger sex.

Remember how Ivanushka-durochok Baba Yaga came in: "You're my first Napoi-feed, in the sauna bathing and then on to ask". Not satisfied with the requirements of the life-support, libido is silent. That is why temporarily discourage can: insomnia, diet, disease and even banal weariness. Both physical and mental.

By the way, when diseases can decrease libido, not only because of poor health, sometimes to blame drugs. And not necessarily hormone. Reduce the need for sex may: antipsychotics, tranquilizers, diuretics, and funds from hypertension and diabetes and others. So if the doctor prescribed pills - carefully read the instructions. Perhaps the lack of desire - only their side-effects.
Family circumstances

If, however, and health is all right, and the level of testosterone in the normal range, and sex still does not want to, it makes sense to think about lofty matters. For example, that the desire proximity to a large extent depends on the attitude toward sex and relationships with a partner.

The situation was commented on the doctor-sexologist, therapist, psychiatrist Kul'gavchuk Yevgeny:

"The most common psychological causes for the decline of libido: addictive and comparison.

Habituation

First love with the vivid experiences lasts from six months to three years. This time, mutual hyper appeal from a biological point of view is given by nature for the begetting offspring. Then comes naturally cooled.

Comparisons

The fall of morality, the race for consumption by the most direct and adverse impact on the ongoing relationship. Partners begin to compare to each other with external partners, and do not realize is that if the comparison is on a scale of novelty, every person has the following night will play a new candidate. At the end of this road - loneliness. And regular decrease in libido in this way. "
Where to run?

In fact, a doctor. To start an endocrinologist - this also applies to men and women. If the hormones all right, the next specialist, which should apply - the doctor-sexologist: libido - his patrimony.
What can be done to restore sexual desire itself? Doctor-sexologist, therapist, psychiatrist Kul'gavchuk Yevgeny recommends: "The sexual potential - an indicator of health in general, both mental and physical, so we must bear in mind that instantly solve the problem fail. For good results is required phasing. First of all, the correct way of life, good working conditions and rest, adequate sleep, moderate and regular exercise. Every day, the time to "private life", and one day of the week assign "your day", do not forget about the regular visits and mutual surprises. It is important to understand that the draft "quality and brilliant sexual life" requires time and effort. But this is one of the most interesting, important and useful projects in your life. "
