But on the other side, winter can raise your libido as well. When two partners are at very different levels of interest throughout an entire season, that can cause some serious dysfunction.
Here are some of the unexpected ways the upcoming season affects your sex drive.

Loneliness can putting your libido into hibernation- If you tend to stay in more when it’s cold outside, it can make you feel lonelier, and you may notice that your libido is hibernating for the season as well.
Serotonin low levels can lead to a heightened sex drive- Serotonin helps regulate our mood, energy levels, sleep, and sexual desire and function and one study finds levels of it are lowest during winter, which could lead to a boost in sex drive.
Men find women's bodies more attractive during the winter- According to study shows that male test subjects found women’s bodies more attractive during the winter than in the summer.
