Lack of Libido 

Just can’t seem to get those home fires burning? Don’t sweat it. According to a 2006 PRESIDE study, nearly 40 percent of American women also experience a lack of desire. Many women feel a general disinterest in sex or experience an unfulfilling sex life. 

Oftentimes stress, busyness, and emotional and physical fatigue override sexual impulses. In other cases, it may be a health or emotional disorder causing the rift, so it’s definitely something you’ll want to discuss with your doctor if it persists. 

Keep in mind -- there is no such thing as “normal” in regard to how often couples have sex. One size – or frequency – doesn’t fit all. A couple may think twice a month is great, while another would think anything less than twice per day is abnormal. Intimacy and keeping the bond with your partner is far more important than frequency. 

There may not be a FDA-approved female version of Viagra yet, but alternative therapies exist. You can look into ways to boost your sex drive by visiting a clinic that specializes in sexual dysfunction.
