Low Sex Drive? How to Boost Your Libido

According to a recent study, one-third of women aged 18-59 suffer from low sex drive. Is it gone forever?
What is keeping you from hitting the sheets with your partner? 

It's a reoccurring theme: Date night was a huge success; your significant other looks irresistible and is sending you all the signals for wanting to get intimate. You, on the other hand, can't seem to find your sexual desire. You feel too full, too tired, and likely come up with excuses as to why, "tonight just isn't going to happen."

If you can't remember the last time that you've wanted to have sex with your mate and feel like your libido is on a roller coaster ride, you're not alone. According to a recent study, one-third of women aged 18-59 suffer from low sex drive.

There are many factors that could be contributing to having a diminished sex drive, including stress and certain medications.

Clinical sexologist, Dr. Ava Cadell, PhD, DHS, shares the most common sex drive killers and how to bring your sex drive back to life.
