Some couples have healthy relationships in spite of a lack of sexual desire.
Not everyone has the same sex drive. Some people have high sex drives, others have low sex drives --- and some people have no sex drive at all. There are a number of reasons for this, ranging from genetics to past experiences with sex to specific preferences. It is important to understand these reasons if you or your partner does not have sexual desire.
Substance Abuse and Addiction
When you're addicted to a substance such as alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs, your substance of choice becomes your top priority. What's more, most substances sap your energy, leaving you with nothing left for sexual desire. Not only do substance addicts often not have the energy for sex, they also don't have the desire because their desire for sex has been replaced with a desire for chemicals.
