Changes in Libido

A lot of people experience significant changes and differences in their sex drive during very stressful periods. This difference usually means a decrease in sex drive which is a decrease in interest to be involved in any sexual activity. A study was conducted on an evaluation of 30 women’s [5] stress levels by measuring their arousal as they were watching an erotic movie. The study showed that women who were very stressed when compared to women with lower stress levels, were unable to get aroused. Another study showed that high levels of stress led to a decrease in sexual activity and sexual satisfaction.
