'''Increased libido''' can be described as a distinct increase in feelings of sexual desire, the anticipation of sexual activity, and the likelihood that a person will view the context of a given situation as sexual in nature. When experienced, this sensation is not overwhelming or out of control, but simply remains something that one is constantly aware of. | '''Increased libido''' can be described as a distinct increase in feelings of sexual desire, the anticipation of sexual activity, and the likelihood that a person will view the context of a given situation as sexual in nature.<ref>Makwana, S., Solanki, M., Raloti, S., & Dikshit, R.

Increased libido is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[tactile enhancement]], and [[stimulation]] in a manner which can lead to greatly intensified feelings of sexual pleasure.
