1Low desire or lack of interest You notice a persistent drop in sexual interest that affects your confidence or relationships.

2Difficulty with arousal Trouble becoming or staying aroused may leave you feeling frustrated or disconnected from your partner.

3Challenges reaching orgasm Regular difficulty achieving orgasm can cause stress, avoidance, or feelings of inadequacy.

4Performance concerns Worrying about performance—such as erectile issues or premature ejaculation—can make intimacy stressful.

5Emotional stress or anxiety Anxiety, depression, or past trauma can impact your ability to enjoy intimacy and connection.

6Medication side effects Antidepressants and other medications may affect sexual desire, arousal, or satisfaction.

7Concern that something is wrong If you find yourself worrying often about your sexual health, it may be time to reach out for support.
