Libido refers to sexual desire. It's dependent on many factors like hormones, social factors, stress, personality, medical conditions and varies from person to person. Low libido (hyposexuality) and high libido (hypersexuality) are both considered mental disorders and are linked to other mental disorders. Both low and high libido are caused by hormonal imbalance, it's believed testosterone is largely responsible for them. Experts also believe that low libido could be caused because of our urbanised lifestyle and drug use, alcohol, food, obesity, diseases, etc.
