The energy of sexual attraction can not be constant. It is influenced by many factors simultaneously. The main "killers" of libido are fatigue and lack of sleep, complicated relationships between partners and birth control pills. However, apart from them there are 5 more reasons that interfere with harmony in sex.
Love of white bread
This flour product not only harms the figure, but also reduces sexual activity. The fact is that the human body takes sugar from the loaf much faster than from black bread. As a result, lovers of floury feel a sharp surge of energy, to replace which quickly enough fatigue comes. Such energy swings do not contribute to passionate sex, and obesity, which can result in regular consumption of buns and sandwiches, and completely kills the libido.
Frequent use of antidepressants and pain medications
Medications that contain codeine or morphine can reduce sexual desire. Therefore, to adjust their sex life, instead of calming drugs drink decoctions of herbs, and, choosing analgesics, give preference to paracetamol (preferably, children's). This is the safest medicine of all that is sold in our pharmacies.
Admission of antiviral drugs
Diphenhydramine and pseudo-medication, which are part of many cold and flu medicines, affect libido. Of course, patients will hardly want to have sex at high temperature, rhinitis and other symptoms of infectious diseases. However, after recovering, these people can not immediately enter into the usual rut. To restore the sexual desire they will take at least a few days.

Snore
These annoying sounds, published by one partner in a dream, not only prevent others from falling asleep, but also lower the oxygen level in the blood of the snoring person. Lack of oxygen, in turn, prevents sexual arousal.
Use of oxygen cosmetics
The main component of this cosmetics, perfluorcarbon, promotes the approach of menopause. Because of the hobby of such hygiene products, it can come much earlier. But that's not all. The perfluorocarbon derivative, perfluorooctane sulfonate reduces the production of estradiol. He, too, "inhibits" libido.
