Do Libido Boosters Actually Work?

View descriptionShare

Goop, the lifestyle website founded by actor-turned-wellness-guru Gwyneth Paltrow sells all sorts of weird products supposedly designed to help women improve their sex lives, and their latest is 'DTF' aka Down To F*ck, a libido booster that comes in the form of pills.

But do these kinds of products - which includes things we can find in the supermarket like Horny Goat Weed - really work and if so, how?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in sexual health to sort the facts from the sell, and find out if we are experiencing problems with our libido whether we should self-medicate, or be speaking with a doctor about what's going on in our minds, as well as our bodies.
