Low self-esteem and poor body image, depression, anxiety disorders, relationship or emotional stress related problems, previous sexual abuse and many possible psychological causes can impact a person's sexual appetite.

Health:

It is also known that certain health conditions like chronic diseases, pain, hysterectomy, Prostate problems, female and male menopause; even birth control pills, mood stabilizers, tranquilizers and some medications, poor diet and lack of exposure to sunlight can affect sex drive.
