Meaning Behind Lost Sex Drive
- Loss of sex drive feels biological, but it's often rooted in the meanings we assign to sex and motherhood.
- Women are sexual beings, but they're selective about when and how they express their sexuality, influenced by cultural and personal meanings.

- Start by ruling out physical issues with a doctor's visit.
- This helps isolate potential mental or emotional factors affecting desire.
