Decreased sexual desire seems to be a problem that every man has to face after the age of thirty. The once energetic and sexually aroused self suddenly seemed to become sluggish. You begin to question whether it is time that is unforgiving or whether there is something wrong with your body? Such changes make you extremely confused, but in fact it is not just your problem. It is a natural physiological phenomenon for men to have a decreased sexual desire after the age of 30. Today we will explore in depth the reasons for the decrease in sexual desire and how to effectively combat this phenomenon and regain the passion of youth.
Three major reasons for decreased libido
1. Natural degeneration of the body: testosterone levels drop
As men age, their sexual desire does not disappear suddenly without warning, but rather decreases gradually and invisibly. The culprit behind all this is the testosterone level in men. According to doctor Anup Jethwa, testosterone levels in men drop by about 1% each year between the ages of 30 and 40. After the age of 40, this change will become more obvious, directly leading to a decrease in sexual desire. Imagine Xiao Wang, an ordinary man in his thirties, who used to be able to spend a busy day easily and have a passionate evening with his wife. However, recently he felt his interest in sex waning and even began to wonder if there was a problem. After examination, it was found that it was the natural drop in testosterone levels that caused him to enter a period of low libido.
2. Excessive stress: the burden and anxiety of life
Furthermore, as we age, various pressures in life will quietly increase. After the age of 30, the living conditions of many men are much worse than before. They not only have to face heavy work pressure, but also the pressure of family responsibilities. Especially in the workplace, if the expected achievements or income are not achieved, anxiety and uneasiness will quietly invade. This emotion directly affects the physiological reaction, leading to a decrease in sexual desire. Take Xiao Li as an example. He is a 35-year-old middle-level manager in a company. He faces countless meetings and documents every day and is under tremendous pressure. After get off work, when he got home, the only thing he wanted to do was lie on the sofa and relax. He had no interest in having intimate contact with his wife. This is not only physical fatigue, but also a decrease in sexual desire caused by psychological pressure.
3. Lack of novelty: monotony and boredom in life and sex
As people age, their metabolism slows down. Long-term stress and bad living habits cause men to gain weight, which in turn affects their sexual desire. Especially when they become less confident about their body, men may avoid sex due to concerns about their self-image. Furthermore, long-term monotonous sex life will make people gradually lose interest in sex. The lack of freshness in the relationship makes sex become a routine, boring and tedious. Imagine a man like Xiao Zhang, who has been married to his wife for many years and whose life has become too dull. Every sexual act seems to be performed according to a fixed script, with no passion and no variety. Over time, sexual desire will naturally drop drastically until both parties become tired of sex.
