C insellik, insanlık var olduğundan bu yana yaşamın önemli bir parçasıdır ve sadece fiziksel olmayıp sosyal, kültürel ve zihinsel yönleri de olan çok boyutlu bir kavramdır. Bu kavram bireyin biyolojik cinsiyeti, cinsiyet kimliği ve cinsiyet rol davranışına göre diğer kişilerle olan etkileşiminin, sevgi ve şefkatinin de bir ifadesidir. Duyguların, düşüncelerin ve davranışların ardındaki itici güç olan cinsellik antropolojik, politik, sosyolojik ve psikolojik süreçler temelinde zevk verici ve proaktif bir etkinlik olarak yerini almaktadır. [1-5] Sağlıklı cinsel yaşamın ömür boyu sürdürülmesi istenilen bir durumdur. Ancak kadınların ve erkeklerin cinsel istek, uyarılma ya da orgazm ile ilişkili cinsel fonksiyonda sağlıklı popülasyonda bile sorunlar yaşadığı bilinmektedir.

“…A systematic review by da Cruz et al found aphrodisiac effects for various herbal medications. They concluded that Tribulus terrestris and Eurycoma longifólia increase testosterone serum levels, ginseng stimulates smooth muscle relaxation with nitrous oxide, Lepidium meyenii improves sexual function, and that Mondia whitei (White’s ginger) improved libido and erection ( 34 ). The findings of this study are also in line with our results and suggest that plants of the ginger family (including Alpinia galanga ) may play a role in the enhancement of sexual function, desire, and fertility.…”

ObjectiveSSRIs are considered the first line in the medical treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. One of their most common side effects, sexual dysfunction, has led many patients to discontinuing their medication and treatment course. Alpinia galanga, a plant from the ginger family, has been shown to enhance androgenic activity and sexual function. This study aimed to assess whether the addition of Alpinia galanga extract to the treatment regimen of adult males consuming SSRIs can improve SSRI-induced erectile dysfunction.Materials and methodsThis triple-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 adult males who were being treated with SSRIs at the time of the study. The participants were divided into two groups, a group of 30 people receiving 500 mg of Alpinia galanga extract and a group of 30 subjects receiving placebo. The population were re-assessed on week 2 and week 4 of the study using the international index of erectile function (IIEF), the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. In all the tests, a p-value of 0.05 was considered as the cut-off for significance.ResultsAt the beginning of the study, the IIEF scores of the placebo group and the intervention group were 10.6 ± 3.8 and 11.2 ± 4.8, respectively, which were not significantly different (p-value = 0.577). By week 4 of the study, the IIEF scores of the control group and the Alpinia galanga group had increased to 13.7 ± 4.3 and 17.4 ± 3.7 respectively, which demonstrates a remarkably larger increase in the group receiving Alpinia galanga extract in comparison to the placebo group (p-value < 0.001).ConclusionIn this study, the effect of the addition of Alpinia galanga extract to the treatment regimen of male patients using SSRIs on the sexual dysfunction experienced by this group has been promising. Similar results, if proven, can aid both patients and clinicians in making and following better treatment plans with more pleasant outcomes.Clinical trial registration[https://clinicaltrials.gov/], identifier [IRCT20101130005280N41].

Libido is a sexual desire or drive. Libido is biological desire’s emotional energy, especially sexual desire. Biopsychosocial variables affect libido. Biologically, sex hormones and nucleus accumbent neurotransmitters (mainly testosterone and dopamine) govern human desire. Working, family, mentality, and stress might affect libido. Medical disorders, drugs, lifestyle, relationships, and age might affect libido (e.g., puberty). Hypersexuality is having frequent or suddenly increased sexual impulses; hyposexuality is the opposite. In psychoanalytic thought, libido is a mental drive or energy, connected with sexual instinct but is also present in other innate urges. A man may want sex but not be able to act on it, or may not for medical, moral, or religious reasons. Repressing or sublimating an urge is psychological. One can participate in sexual activity without a sire. Stress, illness, and pregnancy affect sperm drive. Testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, oxytocin, and norepinephrine act as serotonin This book chapter talks about how functional foods such as spinach, dark chocolate, peppers, green tea, oysters, crab, and pumpkin seeds, which contain neurotransmitters, affect libido.
