1. What is libido?

According to Freud's definition, libido is a natural impulse that drives us to seek pleasure and sexual satisfaction. For Jung, this definition can be broadened to include the satisfaction of vital needs in general.

2. Why does it vary depending on the cycle and age?

Since a woman's life is cyclical, changes in libido are linked to hormonal variations inherent in the menstrual cycle, between estrogen levels and testosterone levels, which are responsible for the intensity of desire. Like any mammal, our body reacts instinctively to a need for reproduction, so much so that at ovulation, we experience a peak in libido.

Conversely, a drop in libido can be observed as premenopause and menopause approach due to a decrease in testosterone secretion. This leads to a weakening of the vaginal mucous membranes with pain or unpleasant sensations. On a psychological level, advancing age, changes in figure or status, sometimes lead to a lack of self-confidence that does not make one want to approach others.

3. Is morale a cause of low libido?

Yes! Stress and fatigue are factors that contribute to a decrease in sexual desire. Hence the libido boost when you're on vacation and the mental load is considerably lighter.

4. Can desire be worked on?

Yes, and for that, put yourself at the center of the question with indulgence and kindness, without injunction above all! Turn to yourself above all by doing yourself good, by putting yourself in good conditions to have desire and pleasure. Communication with your partner is essential to exchange on what you like or not. Break the routine, try new games, buy yourself a pretty set of lingerie… So many little things that are real libido accelerators in the couple.
