Libido Worries Are Widespread, New Study Shows

A mixed-method online survey of 1,317 adults found that 57.1% reported worrying about their libido, with concerns most often about a libido that’s too low or not matching a partner’s desire, and these worries were linked to mental health, stress, and relationship dynamics. The study also found gender and relationship-status differences, but cautioned the sample isn’t representative of all adults; authors urge broader, validated measures to better capture variation in sexual desire.
