Change in Libido

During stressful times, many people notice changes in their sex urges. One short research assessed 30 women's stress levels and then analyzed their arousal while viewing an erotic video. Those with high levels of chronic stress had lower levels of arousal than those with lower stress levels. Another research, which included 103 women, discovered that higher levels of stress were linked to decreased levels of sexual engagement and pleasure.

Similar research included 339 medical residents. It was discovered that high levels of stress have a detrimental influence on sexual desire, arousal, and pleasure. Other probable reasons for libido variations include hormone changes, exhaustion, and psychological factors.
