Causes of low female and male libido:

1. Psychological / Mental -- The causes of psychological sexual dysfunction and low libido are numerous, and it is difficult to list them all, but most often low libido is related to stress, lack of adequate sleep, depression, anxiety, marital or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, problems at work, religious repression, or some forms of mental illness. Getting a deep sleep at night can do wonders for a healthy sex drive.

2. Hormonal -- Androgens, such as testosterone, are a major component of libido, and they certainly can be considered libido enhancers. Testosterone levels decline about 1 percent each year in men, which may contribute to lower male libido with aging. Testosterone also declines with age in women leading to a decrease in female libido with menopause. Women who have had surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest. Replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over the counter hormones, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus has a positive influence on libido. Pregnenolone is another over the counter hormone that may increase testosterone levels and thus enhance libido. We prefer the safer approach to low libido enhancement with natural herbs rather than hormones since hormones can have many side effects. Testosterone levels and high or low libido are not always directly linked.

3. Vascular -- Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis are thought to be a common cause of male erectile dysfunction. For instance, medical conditions such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes reduce blood flow to the penis and genital organs thus leading to difficulty with erection or genital swelling.  Additional factors that can impede blood flow include penile injury, surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area, and sitting on a bicycle too long. Men who log several thousand miles a year on their mountain bikes suffer scrotal damage that could reduce their fertility.  

4. Neural -- Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke affect the brain’s ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage. Sexual dysfunction is common in men undergoing surgical treatment for prostate enlargement or cancer.

5. Chemical -- Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response and libido include dopamine, acetylcholine, and nitric oxide. Serotonin excess can cause low libido in a man or woman.

Libido and Medical conditions
Certain medical conditions lead to low libido  -- or complete loss of libido --  poor performance, or decreased enjoyment. These include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, neurological disorders, and insomnia.

Drugs and Libido
Drugs that cause low libido include some anti-hypertensives, SSRIs, sedatives, and beta-blockers. Alcohol's negative affect on libido increases with age. Smoking can reduce genital blood flow. Finasteride, a drug used to treat enlarged prostate and to stimulate hair growth (Proscar and Propecia), may cause low libido, and in some individuals cause impotence and ejaculatory dysfunction.

Natural supplements that cause low libido
The most common natural herbs and supplements that decrease libido include 5-HTP and kava. Tryptophan may also cause low libido.

Is there any food that helps low libido?
No food that we know of available in grocery stores increases sex drive in an immediate way. It is possible that cold water fish, such as salmon, halibut, sardines, and shellfish, along with fish eggs or roe, may improve low libido by improving overall sexual health since they contain important fish oils. These fish oils help dilate blood vessels and also help brain cells work better, and perhaps influence hormone balance. Eating a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and herbs, spices, can sometimes help with a low libido problem. Sexuality increasing foods can make a significant difference in some people.
