Answers:
Libido is influenced by a tangled web of hormones & neurotransmitters.
Most of the causes pertain to stress or hormones. Lack of sleep, excessive work, guilt/shame regarding sex, etc. can all be stressors that work in both hormonal & non-hormonal ways to decrease libido.
Erectile dysfunction &/or fear of failure can be a stressor & lower libido.
Many hormones (testosterone, estrogen, DHT, thyroid hormones, etc.) & neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, etc.) play a role in libido, such that drugs or activities that affect hormones or neurotransmitters can affect libido. For instance, antidepressants & anti-anxiety meds are known to cause various sexual side effects, from erectile dysfunction, to difficulty in achieving orgasm, to decreased libido.
Like stress, hormone/neurotransmitter imbalance can occur at any age, regardless of apparent health. If you know of a man with low libido, the best way to approach him regarding his issue is to direct him to some information about the above & see what he thinks about it. Blood tests can help identify problems, but we men are often too stubborn to get them unless we are motivated inwardly.

Low compared to what.? If you mean low compared to the average man, then there is nothing wrong with that. Every man is different. If however you mean low compared to how he used to be, that's a different issue. You could try spicing things up a bit. Ask him if he has any fantasies, and perhaps play those out.Health Question & Answer
