In classic psychoanalysis, there are two opposing forces: 🌱 Libido from Latin libīdō = desire, longing, drive.This is your life energy: your urge to connect, create, feel pleasure, grow.It fuels sex, art, relationships, joy and aliveness itself. 🌑 Mortido from Latin mors = death. This is the destructive pull: inward aggression, apathy, shutdown, withdrawal. It shows up in depression, self-sabotage, burnout, addiction. These energies live inside all of us. They’re not “good” or “bad” but how we channel them matters. Feeling “low libido”? It might not be hormonal - it could be mortido taking the wheel. • Constant hustle without rest? That’s libido pushed into burnout - which flips into mortido. • Reconnecting to your desires, body, and pleasure activates libido and brings life back in. The body wants to feel alive. But when we suppress emotion, avoid intimacy, or carry unprocessed pain mortido grows quietly in the dark. 🛠 Want to bring libido back? – Move your body (yes, even for 5 minutes) – Dance, scream, cry, shake - let the emotion go – Say something you’ve been afraid to say – Touch yourself like someone who deserves pleasure – Be wildly honest with someone you trust

Your libido is not broken. It’s evolving. Whether you’re in your 20s or 50s, in a new relationship or recovering from burnout fluctuations in desire are part of the human experience. Libido is not a fixed trait It’s a dynamic expression of your body, mind, and emotional world. 🧠 lets break if down - What is LIBIDO, actually? In science, libido refers to sexual desire but it’s shaped by much more than just hormones. Your libido is influenced by: • Hormonal health (testosterone, estrogen, oxytocin, dopamine) • Mental health (stress, anxiety, depression, trauma) • Lifestyle (sleep, movement, nutrition, alcohol, medication)• Relationships (emotional connection, communication, conflict) • Life phases (parenthood, career shifts, menopause, aging) 🐥 In Your 20s Often seen as the "peak" of sexual drive — especially due to higher testosterone levels in all genders. But also: – Many people experience performance anxiety or emotional confusion – Sex may be fueled by curiosity or validation more than by authentic connection – Communication is often still developing which impacts satisfaction 🧒🏼 In Your 30s Desire becomes more connected to emotional intimacy. – For women: hormonal shifts, motherhood, birth control can impact libido – For men: early signs of testosterone changes may appear – Stress and life load start to matter more than “horny hormones” – Couples often face mismatched libidos or struggle to keep the spark alive 👨 In your 40s and after Forget the myths: this can be the most liberated and pleasurable phase. – Women enter perimenopause/menopause — desire may dip or surge – Men experience andropause — gradual testosterone changes – But the real shift? Quality > quantity – Sex becomes about depth, connection, embodiment – If there's safety and self-awareness desire becomes richer, not weaker 😏 What else affects libido? – Chronic stress hijacks the nervous system and kills desire – SSRI antidepressants often lower libido – Unprocessed shame or trauma can block arousal

I noticed that it's not really the vibe of Skool but I hope you guys enjoying it as much as I do. I like to be a bit nerdy about things, especially when it comes to psychology. 🤓 Im trying to break down complicated things and make them easy to understand. I hope it works for you you, let me know in the comments. And feel free to ask questions and reach out to me in DMs if you feel shy here 🥰
