If your interest in intimacy has faded and you can’t quite pin down why, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. Low sex drive and low libido are some of the most common, and most under-discussed, concerns we hear from both women and men. More often than not, hormones are playing a bigger role than people realize.
Testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, but it drives sexual desire in both men and women. According to research published through the National Institutes of Health, decreased testosterone is clearly associated with low libido in men, and addressing both testosterone and estrogen together tends to matter more than focusing on either hormone alone.
In women, the picture is more nuanced. According to a systematic review published through the National Institutes of Health, the relationship between testosterone levels and sexual desire in women has produced mixed findings, which is part of why a personalized evaluation matters more than a single lab number. Estrogen and progesterone shifts, especially around perimenopause and menopause, also affect lubrication, sensitivity, and desire.
Beyond sex hormones, fatigue, stress, thyroid function, mood, and relationship factors can all contribute, which is why low sex drive and low libido rarely have one single cause.
