What an aphrodisiac boosts (6)

I believe the answer is:

libido

(Other definitions for libido that I've seen before include "Emotional energy associated with sexual desire" , "Strong urge" , "Instinctive desire" , "Emotional craving" , "Sexual impulse" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
