A flagging sex drive is no laughing matter. And when it comes to talking about it, most men would rather just avoid the topic altogether or laugh it off.
So when one Reddit user posed the question: "At what age did you lose interest in masturbating or your sex-drive decreased?", it got a lot of attention, especially from males.
According to WebMD, physical issues that can cause low libido include low testosterone, prescription medicines, too little or too much exercise, and alcohol and drug use.
Psychological issues can include depression, stress, and problems in your relationship. But most studies don't really delve into the age where low libido becomes a problem.
The thread provided some interesting insight into the topic, with most participants choosing to be honest instead of beating around the bush.
