Alcoholism is a great reason to start in low sexual desire counseling and sexuality-focused marriage therapy
As well, alcohol use and alcoholism can have profound effects on both a female’s and male’s sex drive and libido. Alcohol significantly decreases connection and presence in your intimate relationship and leads to disconnection in your marriage.

Hormone balance is necessary for a healthy sexual function and libido. Chronic alcohol use can impair both your physical and psychological aspects of sexual performance. Overall, alcoholism and alcohol use results in decreased sexual desire and arousal.
One of the primary ways alcohol impacts sexual health and sexual desire negatively is through its depressant effects on your central nervous system.
High levels of alcohol can dampen your nerve impulses, leading to difficulties in achieving and maintaining an erection in men and a decrease in arousal in women. This physical aspect can contribute to sexual dissatisfaction and frustration. When one of you has a low libido, it can create a rift in your marital bond.

Diabetes and medical issues can lead to low sexual desire and low libido issues
Also, certain medical issues can impact your sexual desire. For instance, if you have diabetes, this impacts your ability to be sexually aroused. For females, the clitoral area requires blood circulation in order for sexual arousal, libido, and sexual desire to increase.
Diabetes can lead to low circulation issues. Therefore, when you struggle with a medical condition like diabetes, you may also struggle with low sexual desire and low libido.

Your relationship has evolved over time. Notably, various factors that contribute to changes in sex drive and lead to low libido issues, even when the beginning was marked by a hot and passionate connection.
Life’s demands and stressors can also play a significant role in dampening libido.

Unresolved emotional issues or conflicts outside the realm of sex can spill over into the intimate sphere. As a result, negative communication skills lead to tension and inhibiting the desire for physical connection.
At Wisdom Within Counseling, our team of marriage therapists help you in rekindling desire, connection, intimacy, and playfulness through couples therapy.
Couples therapy with our sexuality, intimacy, and sex specialists can support you both in rebuilding sexual desire and give you tools for improving sexual intimacy.
We help couples who need help feeling comfortable and confident talking about sex. You might want to talk about a strict, religious, and conservative upbringing, or your views on sex. As well, couples therapy is a place where you both can learn how to express your sexual fantasies, desires and needs.
Marriage counseling can help you both ways to reintroduce excitement, newness, and novelty into your intimate lives.
Exploring new activities together, prioritizing self-care, and seeking couples therapy at Wisdom Within Counseling can help rekindle your flame. Our libido, sexuality, and intimacy specialists give you skills to restore the passion that characterized the early stages of your relationship. You deserve to create a satisfying and passionate sexual connection.
The team at Wisdom Within Counseling specialize in assessing which factors are contributing to the decline in your desire for sexual intimacy.
