As people reach middle age, the feeling of being less capable in intimate matters is often related to several factors:
1. Hormonal changes: As we age, the levels of sex hormones (such as testosterone in men and estrogen in women) gradually decline. In men, lower testosterone levels can lead to reduced libido, erectile difficulties, and other issues. For women, a drop in estrogen can result in vaginal dryness and decreased sexual desire.
2. Psychological and life stress: Middle age often comes with multiple pressures, such as career, family, children&39;s education, and elder care responsibilities. These pressures can affect mental health, which in turn impacts sexual desire and performance.
3. Health issues: As we age, health conditions may change. Chronic diseases (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) and reduced physical fitness can affect sexual function. Additionally, weight gain, lack of exercise, and other factors can contribute to sexual performance problems.
4. Monotony in sexual life: Longterm relationships can sometimes make sex feel routine, lacking novelty and excitement, which can reduce sexual desire and satisfaction.
5. Fatigue and poor sleep: Middleaged people often face intense work and family responsibilities, leading to fatigue and poor sleep quality, which can affect sexual function and libido.
