Usually there are many myths about sex drive. Some suggests few foods, pills to increase intimacy but here are few facts that you must know about your libido.

1.    The more testosterone, the higher the libido: "Men have larger amounts of testosterone than women, but interestingly, younger women have large amounts of circulating testosterone compared to older menopausal women, which is thought to contribute to women's decreased sex drive with age."

2.    Women's sex drives peak later than men: Experts say that women sex drive peak around 32 and men around 18. Libidos are personal to each person but it does appear that men peak at a younger age than women due to hormones. Women of childbearing age have conflicts in libido based on ovulation, pregnancy, post-partum. Young men with large amounts of testosterone are indeed peaking with their sexual desire.

3.    No food is suggested to increase libido: There are no such libido boosting foods. Although many foods are suggested as aphrodisiac foods but no food till now has proven to increase libido.

4.    Your libido peaks during ovulation: A combination of high estrogen and testosterone during ovulation leads to a higher sexual desire, which is great if you're trying to get pregnant, not so much otherwise.

5.    Pregnancy increases libido in most women: main reason for this is the higher levels of hormones in the blood. In addition, psychologically there is no worry about getting pregnant and therefore women relax and enjoy sex.
