Undetected STDs
If a person does not know that he or she has contracted an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease), they can experience low sex drive. Few STDs like gonorrhoea, herpes, etc can cause pain in the genital area during sex and can also cause hormonal imbalances. So, if you have multiple sexual partners then it is important to get yourself tested for STDs regularly.

Depression
Depression could be another reason for having a low sex drive in people. It is a serious mental illness, in which a person’s dopamine and serotonin hormone levels go erratic, which can cause various negative symptoms. Even the sex drive could be drastically reduced due to the fluctuations of these hormones. This mental condition needs psychological treatments and medical attention. People do get back their libido when the symptoms get reduced.
