So far this statement indicates:
Situational Low Libido meaning that you have enjoyed, during some points in your life, a healthy libido and at other times a low level of libido. In other words it may vary from situation to situation. This type of issue is usually considered in some cases more easily addressed than other types of libido issues. The reason for this is that you have experienced a healthy libido in the past but something keeps changing. The goal is to uncover what it is that is changing and impacting on your sexuality. Note however that in terms of aging, we cannot turn back the clock but there may be strategies available to you that will still allow you to enjoy a level of healthy sexual functioning.
