Do you worry that your days of great sex are over? To come up with an action plan that will steam up your love life, you may need to understand more about libido and performance. Simply put: you may have a great sex drive but not be able to perform, or you may have the ability to perform but not the interest. It may not seem fair, but Mother Nature made sure that women and men have different sex drives, and different capacities for sexual pleasure.
Libido: This is your brain on sex
From puberty to old age, men and women’s libido—or sex drive—is different. Throughout their adult lives, most men think about sex once a day (or more). Only about a fourth of women think about it that frequently. This is because men are hard-wired to have sex to pass along their DNA, while women are designed to be more selective. Likewise, women’s desire for sex tends to be more contextual. They need romance and emotion, whereas men’s sex drive is much more straightforward.

Women are about twice as likely to lose interest in sex. Yet few people realize that as many as 25 percent of American men suffer from a low sex drive. Because good sex with a partner is important for brain and heart health, clearly there are physical as well as emotional reasons for addressing this problem.
Performance: Where is your satisfaction guarantee?
You’re in the mood but your body isn’t cooperating? Women and men also have different definitions for what constitutes great sexual performance. In general, women have a great capacity for pleasure and can keep going without having to give their bodies a rest. Their primary performance concern is usually their ability to be ready for their mate. Men, on the other hand, may worry about endurance and stamina.

Honey, call the doctor!
As soon as a couple notices an issue in their love life, they should get over any embarrassment and talk with their doctor and pharmacist. Low libido and/or sexual performance issues can be early warning signs of everything from cardiovascular disease and diabetes to thyroid disease and other hormonal disorders. So the first thing you must do is to have a medical professional rule out an underlying health condition. Low libido may also be a side effect of some medications.
