What Causes It?
Any number of things, some physical and some psychological. Sometimes it’s both.

No one thing causes low libido. So it’s crucial to talk to your doctor if you're worried your sex drive has dropped.
Depending on the cause, possible treatments include:
Healthier lifestyle choices. Improve your diet, get regular exercise and enough sleep, cut down on the alcohol, and reduce stress.
Change to a new medication, if the one you’re on is affecting your libido
Testosterone replacement therapy
Counseling
Your doctor may recommend therapy if the issue is psychological. In many cases, a low libido points to a desire for a closer connection with your partner -- one that isn’t sexual, but still intimate. It can help to talk through these issues with a therapist, either alone or with your partner. If the issue is depression, antidepressants can help. Some of them actually lower your sex drive, though.
