Rocco Rocco Loverro | 410-294-1742 rloverro@navacenter.com | NavaCenter.com ONE THIRD OF AMERICANS ARE UNSATISFIED WITH THEIR SEX LIVES   New Survey Gives Insight into Baby Boomer Libidos; Hormone Therapy Offers Possible Solution   Columbia, Md. (February 10, 2015) – According to a recent Survata survey, commissioned by Nava Health & Vitality Center, close to one third (31 percent) of Americans ages 35 or older are either “a little satisfied” or “not at all satisfied” with their overall sex lives.  Half of respondents (49 percent) reported having sex twice per month or fewer, with 30 percent saying they aren’t having any sex at all. Even though close to one third (31 percent) of Baby Boomers and Generation Xers rated their sex drives as “extremely” or “very” low, seven out of 10 (71 percent) said that sex is still important to them. And while there’s room for improvement, people may be looking for more natural treatments, as close to nine out of 10 respondents (87 percent) said they have never taken any prescription or over-the-counter medications to improve sex drive or address any sexual dysfunction. According to the survey, seniors age 65 or older are the most satisfied with their sex lives (22 percent “Extremely” satisfied) while those ages 35 to 44 are the least satisfied (30 percent “Not at all” satisfied). What’s more, women are more satisfied with their sex lives, with 45 percent saying they were “Extremely” or “Very” satisfied with their sex lives, compared to 39 percent of men. However, more men said that sex was still important to them than women (58 percent compared to 39 percent).  Among the survey respondents, men also reported their sex drives as just slightly higher than women, with an average rating of their current sex drive as six compared to five for women (on a scale of one to 10, 10 being the highest). And while 90 percent of females report never having taken any medications or prescriptions to improve sex drive or performance, only 78 percent of men can make the same claim. "We often find that symptoms such as a low sex drive or libido can be due to a hormonal imbalance, as everyone’s hormones naturally decline with age, starting as early as the late twenties or early thirties,” said Dr. Douglas Lord, Medical Director at Nava Health and Vitality Center. “We see so many people come to us with the same issues—my sex drive is too low, I’m having trouble focusing or sleeping, I’m anxious, I keep gaining weight—and many of them have usually chalked these up to the expected side effects of aging, but they don’t have to.” For getting libido back on track, a growing health trend points to bio-identical hormone optimization as a potential therapy for naturally returning the body’s hormones back to optimal levels and addressing the symptoms, such as loss of sex drive, that most people mistakenly identify as the expected parts of the aging process. These symptoms include not only low libido or sex drive but also weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, irritability, anxiety and insomnia. “With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s a great time for people to think about their sexual health and whether or not it could use some help, but it’s also a good time to think about your heart health,” said Dr. Mark Sivieri, Medical Advisor at Nava Health and Vitality Center. “Studies have shown that in addition to the immediate benefits of hormone optimization, like increased energy and sex drive, there are also long term benefits related to heart, bone and brain health too.”  For more information on these survey results or hormone therapy, visit NavaCenter.com.   ###   Survey Methodology This survey was conducted by Survata, an independent research firm in San Francisco.
