Libido Increases Energy

The word "libido" does not just refer to sex; if you look in the dictionary, it also means "positive life energy." Libido is often a reflection of a person's feelings of motivation, confidence and "mojo." If a person's libido is low, their energy will be low, so it’s worth evaluating and doing something to improve it.
