Libido

Libido in its common usage means sexual desire.

Libido disorders are a class of sexual dysfunction disorders, which are classified in 4 main classes linked to each other, such as:

• Sexual desire disorders
• Sexual arousal disorders (aka impotence in men and frigidity in women)
• Orgasm disorders (i.e. a persistent delay or absence of orgasm following a normal sexual excitement phase)
• Sexual pain disorders (affect women almost exclusively and are known as dyspareunia and vaginismus).

Sometimes the sexual desire is reduced. Loss of libido may or may not correlate with infertility. Factors of reduced libido can be both psychological and physical.
