I worked out and libido went down

Are you eating properly and getting enough sleep? Working out is taxing on the body. You have to get proper nutrition and rest for it to optimize. Try taking a zinc magnesium (zma) supplement before bed as well. This should help. Oh and take cold showers. I swear by that raising my libido.

Maybe you're just falling in love with the new you. ;)

You're getting dopamine and norepinephrine bursts from working out. It is giving you the pleasure your brain normally seeks in other rewarding activities, such as sex.

The more things you do that are exciting and new the more your body will crave these instead of juts always falling back to "hey, go simp out and maybe you can fuck that girl!"

Yes, it is normal. A few things happen. I notice that while 'cutting' and thus on calorie deficit, I tire my body out in such a way that I no longer really even think about sex. On a bulk, my libido rises steadily as my body fat slowly increases (I never take it above 15% so it never gets to a point where there's "too much fat" and thus libido would go down again). The other thing I've noticed that as my body transformed into a very solid physique and I got to really see my genetic potential, it's very difficult to be attracted to most women. I'm used to picking apart my own body in a mirror like it's a car: need to add more to this, this, etc., so it naturally happens that I judge women pretty harshly on their fat and anything but a flat stomach on a woman is unattractive to me - even if she's sitting down.
