Let’s Talk About Libido
By James Ryan Toledo
“Honey, the kids are away. Maybe we can, you know.”
This is an all too familiar scenario for any married couple: the kids are out on a trip and you are all alone with your spouse. Then all of a sudden, one or both of you starts getting bright ideas on what to do next. Or you could be out there on a date and passing by a motel reminds you of things you both did when you were younger.
Libido – it’s what every man and woman on this planet experiences from day to day. There are a lot of terms for this over the years: sex drive, the urge, mojo but it all basically boils down to the instinct to have sexual intercourse. The term was first coined by renowned psychologist Sigmund Freud in his studies of the correlation between the human mind and body. Freud notes that a human being undergoes three stages of sexual maturation: oral, anal and phallic. A newborn child according to him, is already sexually aware; in the oral stage, this is manifested through the sucking of the mother’s breast. As a child undergoes development, the sexual functions shift towards the rectal region, particularly during potty training. This is the so-called anal stage. Finally, as the child reaches puberty and adulthood, his or her sexual functions manifest in their maturing genitals. This is when the last stage, the so-called phallic is reached.
Libido is primarily a state of mind. It is said that men are more likely to give in to their libido than women. Men’s libido is almost always compared to a match that easily lights up while women’s libido is usually compared to that of a slow-heating oven. Whatever the case, men and women are both prone to lack of libido.
The lack of libido stems from a lot of factors. In men, some of the physical causes pointed are: stress, lack of sleep, lack of testosterone, the presence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes among the major causes. For women, anemia, overactive pituitary glands, the ‘rest period’ after childbirth adds in to the physical factors causing lack of libido. But emotional factors are what ties men and women together when lack of libido is concerned. Domestic problems are pointed out as the number one cause, though infidelity, latent homosexuality and other marital problems are also on the list.
Some pieces of advice for people having problems with their libido: for those who mainly experience the physical factors perhaps a change in diet might solve the issue. Common aphrodisiacs are a good way of getting that spark to light up again. For emotional problems, a good talk with the spouse might patch things up and may lead to surprising results although for some extreme cases, intervention and advice from a certified marriage counselor might do better.
Health and dietary supplements can also help, one of the more widely available is Enduranz tablets which contain Tongkat-Ali extracts proven to increase libido.
Enduranz Capsule for Men is a multi -herb natural food supplement containing Tongkat-Ali, Banaba (Lagerstroenii speciosa), Malungay (Moringa oleifera), and Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica). These herbs restore male energies that had been lost over years.
