Talk:Libido

Jung

Don't the Jungians have a more libido-friendly take on this?

I thought Jung's definition of Libido was "Psyche Energy"—Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.88.11.139 (talk • contribs) how to reduce one's libido Im gettin annoyed by it?? any tips certain foods or medications..;.. my high sex drive is ruining my life and affecting my career —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.227.101.130 (talk) 07:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

"psyche energy" doesn't sound like a technical description to me. It sounds pretty much like pseudo science. Can it be measured in aura photography or what?

Freud + Libido

This section about Freud and what Freud thought about the libido needs to be seriously expanded... it could almost be four pages long... concepts such as egolibido, etc. -Abscissa 20:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Jung and libido

I would give this its own article separate from this one, called something like- Libido(Jung), it's not much to do with or relevant to the everyday use of the word which the rest of this article discusses.Merkinsmum 19:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Libido and menstrual cycle

How is a woman's libido correlated with her menstrual cycle? I would like to know more about this. -Matt24 20:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Increased Libido

This article talks about the causes of decreased libido, but does not discuss the causes of increased libido. Damage to the hypothalamus (part of the brain) is one cause, I believe. Someone should research it and add to the article, cause there's nothing on Wikipedia currently about it. -jojothepezgirl 02:26, 21 October 2007

Instincts have rationality

Compare a passing meeting to 30 years of marriage: 30 years of being the closest adult in your life. That is 1 day compared to 30 years which is about 1 : 10 000. No wonder that we react strongly to the possibility of getting a partner that would suit us! InsectIntelligence (talk) 13:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC) I totally agree as Im really suffering from very high sex drive which has damaging effects on my personal life, work, and health. So I wass hoping if there were a discussion about how to manage a high libido. I will apreciate your help if you have any hint please send to my e-mail dactara21@hotmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.227.101.130 (talk) 08:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Glaring omission.

I am no expert on this subject but doesn't libido generally decrease with ageing? I would be surprised if the average octogenarian was quite as libidinous as the average 19 year old man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.138.200 (talk) 16:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

A Rather Important Omission

I believe firmly that Schopenhauer's anticipation and influence on Freud's work should be included in this article, or his name at least put into the list of important figures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.165.216 (talk) 02:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Libido

Contrary to popular teaching,libido, is no more than a rating scale used to measure levels of expectancy in physical and psycological drive and arousal. Hence, a high libido would indicate high levels of desire and expectancy versus a low libido indicating low or demensing levels of desire and expectancy. Simply put it is a balance of sexual ambition. -Hines 2008
