Low libido, or a decreased sex drive, is when someone experiences a lower interest in sexual activity than is normal for them or compared to their previous level of interest.

Lifestyle habits like lack of sleep, alcohol abuse, smoking, and poor nutrition can also be culprits. Oftentimes, it is a combination of physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors at play.
