Experiencing Low Libido? Here’s How to Get Your Sex Drive Back
If you’ve found yourself noticing a change in your sex drive, you’re not alone. Feeling like your sex drive has taken an extended holiday, or disappeared altogether, can be confusing, frustrating, and even emotionally painful. Libido, the desire for sexual activity, isn’t a fixed trait or a measure of your worth. It is an aspect of your health that can fluctuate, responding to a multitude of factors, specifically your hormone balance.
Human desire is not as simple as a choice you make in your head. Although psychology does play a part, hormones send messages to your body that signal you to be in the mood. Like most things, beauty comes in balance. Your hormones are no different, especially when it comes to your sex drive.
The good news?
If you’re asking how to get my sex drive back, there are simple steps you can take.
Let's get real with each other…
For something so personal, women’s sex drives sure get a lot of public commentary. And most of it? Not exactly rooted in facts, and conveniently targets women. So let's clear a few things up:
Libido is not simply emotional. Don’t get it wrong, it definitely has an impact, but not any more than it does for men.
Speaking of men, women do not inherently have a lower sex drive than men. Libido varies from person to person, gender to gender, hormone levels to hormone levels.
Menopause does not mean an immediate death to your sex drive. Many women feel their sex life improves during menopause, while others see a decrease in their sex drive. As we discussed in the point above, libido varies greatly between each person. Sensing a theme yet?
Low interest in sex is not a sign of a personal, or relationship, failure. Your period, stress, fatigue, body image issues, hormones, and more can all have an affect.
Satisfying sex is not about how often you have it. A fulfilling sex life is centered around consent, mutual pleasure, intimacy, connection, whoever little or much you and your sexual partner like. There is no “right” answer for how often you should be having (or not having) sex.
Libido can change. Your sex drive is more complex than genetics and definitely more nuanced than your horoscope. With the right help, your sexual desire can be what you want it to be.
We wish a low libido was as simple of a fix as these rumours suggest. However, it typically comes down to a myriad of factors, with hormonal imbalance sounding off the red alarm.
So… could your hormones be the main character here?
If your libido has gotten up and left without warning (like you wish that bad ex would've), it might be your hormones.
Here’s when it’s worth a closer look:
Your desire has been MIA for months
You are exhausted. All. The. Time.
Intimacy is uncomfortable, physically or emotionally
Your mood stability seems to be on a rollercoaster
Your libido and its changes have been correlating with your time of the month
Here’s the thing: hormones rarely disrupt just one department. They’re not subtle.
Sometimes it is not a mindset issue, sometimes it is chemistry.
Take Care of Your Hormones, They Run the Show.
Here’s the part that does not get talked about enough: when you support your hormones, you are doing more than simply balancing levels. You are setting the stage for desire that feels natural, confidence that feels embodied, and intimacy that actually satisfies you.
A satisfying, pleasurable sex life isn't about forcing it, faking it, or fixing your mindset into submission. It is about giving your body what it needs so it can show up fully and with excitement.
Here’s how to start supporting the system that’s been running the show all along.
Stay active. Movement boosts mood, energy, blood flow, and hormonal regulation.
Eat well. Whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats, and colourful plants are the way to go.
Manage stress. Your hormones feel the effects of stress more than you know. Do what is best for you to relieve stress to calm your cortisol levels.
Sleep deeply. Aim for a healthy 7-9 hours of sleep every night to encourage your body to stay happily synced.
Communicate clearly. Ask yourself what you need and want, ask your partner what they need and want, communication will usually clear up the nagging worrying thoughts that are affecting your sex drive.
