What is Driving Sexual Desire?

The total number of sexual activities for an individual varies greatly across the lifespan. The driving forces for sexual behaviour remain contentious with the role of androgens, other hormones, neurotransmitters and physiological factors often considered to be key components. Increasingly, scientific advances have attempted to provided explanations for understanding differences that have been attributed to factors such as genetic variations in CAG repeat polymorphisms or brain neuronal networks and these will be explored. However, emotional and relational problems may have equal or greater impact and there are concerns about the limitations of the medical model to explain sexual ‘differences’ and diversity.

Sometimes, they are considered as a form of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) since some of them are shown to stimulate the body to produce natural testosterone and even DHEA.
