Libido stimulating products are one of the fastest growing branches of supplements. Few people, however, know what actually lies behind the concept of libido, how to care for it, how to support it, and where the term came from.Libido is, in other words, psychological sexual attraction, i.e. the desire for sex. And why has nature equipped us with such a “booster” of potency? The reason is simple. One of the basic biological tasks of man is to reproduce. Without the libido, it would just be a forced, mechanical activity devoid of pleasure. Because we treat sex as something pleasurable, we are more willing to have it. It is the libido that makes strangers able to have sex after a short acquaintance, or makes a couple want to copulate on a table, uncomfortable floor or grass.

The term libido comes from the founder of psychotherapy, Sigmund Freud, who developed its definition and used it for the first time. In his opinion, libido is life energy, and at the other extreme is the destructive energy of “thanatos”. According to Freud, libido is something natural and we strive (or should strive) to satisfy it with all our behavior. It is social norms, expectations and habits that make us hold back, creating internal conflict. Karl Gustav Jung, on the other hand, claimed that libido is all mental energy. In his opinion, whoever does not have a satisfying erotic life cannot be satisfied in other fields either.
All because of sex
Indeed, unsatisfied libido is one of the more common and at the same time fateful conditions. We often hear that “the world revolves around sex” and this refers precisely to the fact that the libido determines many of our actions, even those of which we are not aware. Choosing a partner is a matter of stimulating a person’s libido. Even advertisements know that the desire for sex is the most powerful force, and that is why even advertisements for cars, chocolates, alcohol or cosmetics try to inject sexual associations that will stimulate us and make us buy.
If our libido is low, we can stimulate it in various ways. One of them are aphrodisiacs that can warm up the body and increase the desire for sex. On the other hand, there are many factors that reduce libido. These include stress, fatigue, stimulants and improper diet.
