What is a healthy sex drive? What is libido?
A healthy sex drive varies. You can't open a book and have it say a healthy sex drive means you have sex 3 times a week, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Mondays. It depends on the person and their life situation. You don't have to have a partner to have a healthy sex drive.
What are some things that can affect your libido?
Things that affect your libido are:
* medications, like antidepressants
* depression
* health concerns
* mental/emotional issues
* relationship issues
* sleep deprivation
* kids
* age- as people age your sex drive tends to go down, but there are exceptions to the rule. Dr. JJ has some female patients that are post menopausal whose libido is higher than it used to be.
How can you improve libido naturally?
You can improve sex drive naturally by trying a number of approaches.
Vitamin/supplements:
* Maca/Peruvian Ginseng
