low libido
Reduced sexual appetite
Low libido is diminished sexual desire or interest in sexual activity.
The phrase typically describes a persistent state rather than temporary fluctuation: She talked to her doctor about her low libido.
Common in medical and self-help contexts, it's often framed as something to be treated or addressed, though what counts as "low" varies considerably by individual and relationship.
