Page "Libido" Paragraph 23

There is no measure of what is a healthy level for sex desire.

Some people want to have sex every day, or more than once a day ; others once a year or not at all.

However, a person who lacks a desire for sexual activity for some period of time may be experiencing a hypoactive sexual desire disorder or may be asexual.

A sexual desire disorder is more common in women, but rare in men.

Erectile dysfunction is more common in men and may be a cause for the lack of sexual desire, but with which it should not be confused.

Moreover, specialists have brought to attention that libido impairment may not even occur in cases of men with erectile dysfunction.

However, men can also experience a decrease in their libido as they age.
