This link has several articles on low libido
http://www.ivillage.com/topics/health/0,,234283,00.html Loss of libido can be caused by many things such as physical or psychological problems or because of medications you are taking.
I had the same problem at the age of 30. What I found was that oral contraceptives (OCs) were the reason my sex drive disappeared. Loss of libido for women on hormonal contraceptives is a very common side effect. After two years on OTC mine went AWOL! If you are on OCs you might want to consider a pill change. A different hormone mix might be all you need. What I decided to do was stop using hormonal contraceptives all together. I switched to cervical barriers which I love! I use a cervical cap between periods and a diaphragm for contraception and flow control during my period. Barriers are as effective as condoms if used correctly and I feel so confident when in my cap. However, cervical barriers aren’t for everyone as they do take discipline to use correctly. Another very effective option is an IUD. The ones available in the U.S. are ParaGard http://www.paragard.com/ the copper-T which is non-hormonal and effective for 10 years and Mirena http://www.mirena-us.com/ which continuously releases a tiny bit of progestin, and which is effective for 5 years. It might be a good idea to talk with your doctor about your loss of libido and see what s/he says. Let us lnow how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
