Weight gain: It really gets harder stay fit after a certain age, and it’s not unusual for spouses of both sexes to find they’ve gotten fatter. If people put on extra kilos, they may not have as much energy or they might also feel self-conscious about their appearance. Also, if one of the partners gain weight, the other might not find the former physically attractive anymore.

Feeling tired: Fatigue is a symptom of many health conditions, and it’s also a common side effect of several medications. And in this age, medication has become quite a norm. However, more sleep could help your libido.

Stress: Constant tension is also one of the main concern for lesser sex, as you cannot concentrate on the act. And stress also triggers hormonal changes that could diminish libido. When you’re stressed, the fight-or-flight response in our bodies is facilitated through the same tissues that helps sexual responsiveness, and it tells your body to pay attention to something else other than sex.

Anger and resentment: Emotional baggage in the form of old grudges, lingering hostility and resentment, jealousy, or blame can lower your libido to an extent. While some people get upset at their spouse for things like cheating and lying, for others, ‘he treats me like a maid’ does the trick.
