What is libido?

What is libido? First of all, let’s get it straight. Libido and sexual desire aren’t the same thing. Sexual desire is psychological, while libido is linked to hormone activity. Findigs from by the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles were released in May 2021. Reports indicated that intimacy between British couples had halved during the first Covid lockdown period. It wasn’t just the Brits affected though. Similar trends were observed elsewhere, like in the USA, India and Italy for example, each time backed up by real data. What can lead to a drop in libido then? What do each of those hormones do then?
