Libido

Libido (/lᵻˈbiːdoʊ/), colloquially known as sex drive, is a person's overall sexual drive or desire for sexual activity. Sex drive is influenced by biological, psychological and social factors. Biologically, the sex hormones and associated neurotransmitters that act upon the nucleus accumbens (primarily testosterone and dopamine, respectively) regulate libido in men and women. Social factors, such as work and family, and internal psychological factors, like personality and stress, can affect libido. Sex drive can also be affected by medical conditions, medications, lifestyle and relationship issues, and age (e.g., puberty). A person who has extremely frequent or a suddenly increased sex drive may be experiencing hypersexuality.

A person may have a desire for sex, but not have the opportunity to act on that desire, or may on personal, moral or religious reasons refrain from acting on the urge. Psychologically, a person's urge can be repressed or sublimated. On the other hand, a person can engage in sexual activity without an actual desire for it. Multiple factors affect human sex drive, including stress, illness, pregnancy, and others.

Livid (Nightmare album)

Livid (リヴィド, Rivido) is Nightmare's second full length studio album. It peaked at #29 in the Oricon Charts. In this album, they introduced a small preview of the new sound of Nightmare by adding an extra part for an acoustic guitar in two songs, Travel and Shian/Cyan, and a twist of jazz fusion in Underdog. Due to the spelling and pronunciation of 'livid' in Japanese (ribido) the album has sometimes been incorrectly referred to as Libido.
