Unresolved psychological problems, the inability to talk about sex and uncertainty about one’s infectious status in the absence of a permanent partner can reduce libido. Sex coach Veronika Chaynaya and infectious disease doctor Dina Babovich called Lente.ru such factors.
According to Chayna, one of the most common psychological reasons that reduce the level of sexual desire is self-loathing. Because of him, according to the sex coach, a person thinks a lot during intimacy and feels uncomfortable, paying attention to their shortcomings. In this case, sex begins to be associated not with pleasure, but with heavy thoughts. Subsequently, it is easier for such a person to avoid sexual intercourse than to constantly think that he is doing wrong.
Interest in intimacy can also disappear due to problems with self-esteem. Both with low and high self-esteem, a person keeps the focus more on himself than on pair interaction. A person emphasizes either how good he is or how bad he is. In the first case, they do not want to have sex with him, and in the second case, he will avoid it himself.
In addition, libido is negatively affected by the inability to talk about sex and your desires. Instead of directly talking about his desires, a person expects the desired actions from a partner, but they do not occur. As a result, a person is simply disappointed.
In turn, the infectious disease specialist Babovich noted that the level of libido can be affected by uncertainty about one’s infectious status. If a person is free in intimate relationships and at the same time he does not have a permanent partner, every unprotected sexual contact is associated with the risk of contracting an infectious disease, even with the use of certain means of protection.
