10 Things You Didn’t Realise Were Killing Your Libido

Sex. It’s one of the cornerstones of our romantic relationships, and thought we don’t like to talk about it in public, it’s more important than you might think.

So if you’re more turned on by the idea of snuggling up under the covers alone than with your significant other, something might be up.

10 Things You Didn't Realise Were Killing Your Libido

Sleep is essential for a healthy sex drive, so if you’re up late at night but not getting the boogey on, then you might want to make a change. Less energy in yourself means there’s less energy to get you in the mood, meaning you’re more likely to want to just curl up and chill.

2. Your Contraception Has Changed

Pretty much any chemical contraceptive change (i.e. from the pill, injections or implants) can cause your libido to change. So if you’ve noticed that your sex drive is in the dumps, you might want to talk to your doctor.
