libido

[lɪˈbiː.dəʊ]
German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

Libido is a strong desire for sex or intimacy. It's like having a constant craving that can't be ignored.

When people talk about libido, they usually mean their own physical attraction to others, and how much they're interested in romantic relationships. Some might think of it as just the way you feel on Valentine's Day or when you see someone special. But for others, libido is more like a steady companion that's always there, guiding their thoughts and feelings about sex and intimacy. They might talk about how their libido is higher than usual, or lower because of stress or other reasons. It's not just something people mention in private conversations - sometimes they'll even discuss it with friends as part of understanding themselves better, like examining a puzzle piece that doesn't quite fit.
