Low Libido 2

Testosterone is an important male hormone. In men, it’s mostly produced in the testicles.

Testosterone is responsible for building muscles and bone mass and for stimulating sperm production. the testosterone levels also factor into the sex drive.

Normal testosterone levels will vary. However, adult men are considered to have low testosterone, or low T when their levels fall below 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL).

When the testosterone levels decrease, the desire for sex also decreases.

Decreasing testosterone is a normal part of aging. However, a drastic drop in testosterone can lead to decreased libido.

Some Cause of Low Testosterone

• ALCOHOL: Heavy alcohol drinking, or more than 14 mixed drinks in a week, has also been linked to a decrease in testosterone production. Over a long period of time, excessive amounts of alcohol can reduce your sex drive.
• STRESS: If one is distracted by situations or periods of high pressure, sexual desire may decrease. This is because stress can disrupt the hormone levels. The arteries can narrow in times of stress and this narrowing restricts blood flow and potentially causes erectile dysfunction (ED).
• DEPRESSION changes all parts of a person’s life. People with depression experience a reduced or complete lack of interest in activities they once found pleasurable including sex. Low libido is also a side effect of some antidepressants.
• AGING: Testosterone levels which are linked to libido are at their highest when men are in their late teens. In the older years, it may take longer to have orgasms, ejaculate and become aroused. The erections may not be as hard and it may take longer for the penis to become erect. However, products like Bioherbs Coffee can help treat Erectile dysfunction (ED) and related issues.

• TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH EXERCISE can also be responsible for low sex drive in men. Too little exercise (or none at all) can lead to a range of health problems that can affect sexual desire and arousal. Getting regular exercise may reduce the risk for chronic conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, all of which are associated with low libido. Moderate exercise is known to lower cortisol levels at night and reduce stress which can help increase sex drive.

  On the other hand, over-exercising has also been shown to affect sexual health. In one study, higher levels of chronic intense and lengthy endurance training on a regular basis were strongly associated with decreased libido scores in men.
