Brief Answer:
low sexual desire or performance anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

It could be either due to low sexual desire or performance anxiety.

Before knowing the ways to improve the sexual desire, its important to identify the causes for this.

Here are some common causes:

1. Stress or anxiety and depression from the strain of daily life, relationship or family problems.
2. Drug addiction like alcohol or smoking etc.
3. Medical problems like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
4. Some drugs like antidepressants, antihypertensives etc.

If you feel that you have any of the above problem, you must focus on its treatment with your physician and your sexual desire to your wife will improve.

Also there are some other tips which will help you to improve your sexual life with your wife.

1. Half an hour of exercises like running, swimming, etc. can boost your libido.
Also, exercise will reduce your stress and improve your health. Talking to your partner about your tensions can also calm you down and strengthens your relationship.

2. Quit smoking or other drug use. These can narrow blood vessels of penis and have been linked to impotence.

3. Sunlight exposure inhibits the body’s natural production of melatonin, a hormone that helps us to sleep and also reduces our sexual urges.

Less melatonin means more sexual desire. So have adequate sunlight exposure in daytime.

4. Paying attention to your partner’s desires and talking about this before hand can make sex pleasurable for both of you.

5. Engaging more in foreplay with your wife before intercourse.

Here I would like to tell you that sexual desire also decreases if the person has performance anxiety, i.e. the fear that whether he will be able to perform the act and satisfy his partner.

This may be due to erectile dysfunction (ED).
For which there are some medications which can help in this also.

Now regarding the drug treatment of ED:

The drugs used are sildenafil, tadalafil.
The safer choice between these two is Tablet Tadalafil.

Take 10mg Tadalafil 2 hours before intercourse. It works for almost 2 days. These are prescription drugs only. So, see your doctor for prescription and before using them.

Hope this detailed information will help.
