Sexual desire: the influence of hormones
The hormone that regulates desire is testosterone, for both men and women.
Testosterone is produced by the testicles in men, and by the ovaries in women, and to a lesser extent, by the adrenal cortex of both.
Women generally have a lower rate of testosterone than men; does this imply a lower sexual appetite? Not necessarily; the female body is much more sensitive to testosterone than the male body, and thus the difference is compensated.

Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle significantly affect the intensity of female desire. In the days leading up to ovulation, our body records a spike in estrogen and our libido is at its maximum (except for those who take hormonal contraceptives). On the other hand, after giving birth, the body produces prolactin, an anti-desire hormone.
The psychological factors that influence sexual desire
Education, culture, social and religious taboos, legacies of past centuries, still exert an important moral pressure on women, who express their sexual desire less freely than men.
The male desire corresponds to a drive, which comes from within, while that of the woman is more than anything else provoked, often by the desire and the excitement of the other, by a favorable, relaxed but also a little more dangerous context.
Age and sexual desire
In men, sexual desire makes its way during puberty, right from the first experiences of masturbation.
Up to the age of 50 it is very developed, after which it begins to diminish, thanks to the andropause, a decrease in testosterone which causes a drop in libido.
In women, desire arises a little later, but increases with time and experience. Sexual maturity is around 35 years old. When the woman enters menopause, the ovaries generate less testosterone and the estrogen rate decreases. Despite the physical changes, desire does not necessarily decrease, thanks to psychological conditioning. At this age, women have more time to think about themselves and the couple, and they allow themselves more moments dedicated to sexuality. For this reason, menopause is often the accomplice of a moment of rebirth of desire.
The right time for him and her
Why do most men want to have sex in the morning, just when women have less time? The rate of testosterone in men increases by 30% with the first light of day, which is why libido increases significantly.
Women, on the other hand, need to feel relaxed, rested, and generally not have thoughts to be aroused. Not to mention the age: depending on the age you have, in fact, there is a favorite time of the day to have sex. The most common propitious time for women, however, is in the evening, once the children have gone to bed and the office problems forgotten.
Also from the point of view of the seasons, biorhythm has a significant impact on sexual desire. Women find that desire manifests itself more vigorously with the arrival of spring, while for men, awakening occurs later, towards the beginning of summer.
How do you get along?
When your partner doesn't feel like it, you feel rejected, unloved and unwanted. To avoid this type of situation, one must always try to communicate. Talking about sex isn't easy, but for a relationship to work, you need to express your feelings and frustrations.
Also, as the saying goes, "appetite comes with eating", so do not hesitate to force yourself a little at the beginning, by dint of pampering and caressing your desire will naturally awaken.
