Q: Why don't I want to have sex? A: This question is a common question from both males and females. There are many reasons why individuals lack the desire to have sex that can be primary issues or secondary issues. After a complete blood workup is done (and if everything is within normal limits) things that should be looked at are stress levels, attraction to current partner, relationship issues, partner sexual dysfunction, trauma, depression, fatigue, medication, previous sex education, religion, and family patterns with regard to sexuality. It is important to note that each case is different and the list just presented are just issues that need to be explored.
