Inhibited Sexual Desire

Inhibited sexual desire (ISD) refers to a low level of sexual interest. ISD is also known as sexual aversion, sexual apathy or hypoactive sexual desire. A person with ISD will not start, or respond to their partner's desire for, sexual activity. In the extreme form of sexual aversion, the person not only lacks sexual desire, but may find sex repulsive. ISD is a very common sexual disorder. Often it occurs when one partner does not feel intimate or close to the other.

Studies have shown that a lack of certain hormones can sometimes be involved. Hormonal changes can also affect libido.

Natural Supplements may help increase female libido, a new study shows.
