A member asked:
What exactly causes libido? is it a hormone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More than hormones: Libido is the desire for intimate activity. It is in part controlled by various hormones but also other external factors such as stress, your attitude towards your partner and vice versa, personal beliefs about sex and intimacy, etc. A healthy sex life is more than just hormones. Open honest communication with your partner plays a big role. Additionally, some medications can affect your libido
