A study from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases found that intermittent fasting significantly increased the mating behavior of senior male mice, sparking curiosity about its potential effects on human libido. Dr. Dan Ehninger, the study's lead author, indicated that a lack of sexual desire affects many individuals, and fasting might provide a novel treatment approach. Existing treatments for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) are limited, making this research particularly noteworthy. The findings suggest that fasting could offer behavioral benefits despite age-related challenges, paving the way for further investigation into its effects on human sexual health.
"A lack of sexual desire is not necessarily perceived as problematic - but some people suffer from it," said Dr. Dan Ehninger, leading to potential treatments.
"It was a bit of detective work to uncover the real cause," Ehninger said, referring to the surprising reproduction rates of fasting senior male mice.
