Could child sexual abuse cause low sex drive?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Child abuse: Childhood abuse usually causes some degree of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can manifest itself in many different ways. Decreased sexual drive could be one of these. However, there are also medical causes of decreased sex drive. I would start with your physician.

Yes it can: Sadly, sexual abuse during childhood can impact on not only sexual drive but also on the person's ability to develop and have healthy adult relationships. Psychotherapy and support groups can help overcome the negative impact of childhood sexual abuse.
