Low libido

I can only speak for myself, but I thought I had a pretty low libido too...UNTIL I figured out I was gay. Part of it had to do with me simply not being very "visually attuned". Seeing hot guys doesn't really interest me as much as it does most gay guys. I found I prefer written erotica to porn, as well. Once I had grown comfortable with my homosexuality, and started working on fantasies in my head, let's just say the libido kicked in full force.

Seeing your doctor is probably the best first step. Best to rule out any obvious physical problems before trying anything else.

same "problem" i have a low libido but i dont actually see it as a problem, some guys have high libidos some have lower ones, but yeah if your unhappy with yours defo see a doc first to rule out actual medical issues, then work on finding what does work for you to improve it, good luck

 

Try increasing your intake of zinc: eat strawberries and pumpkin seeds. Unhealthy eating can often lower one's libido.

 

My husband has a very low libido (so low that it is actually not existant). I can't tell you more, we haven't find any solution for the moment.

I've been dealing with this for a month or two now. I've been on crutches and on meds for most of the past seven weeks, and I think that all that stress on my body has killed my drive. I'm hoping that now that I'm off the meds and the last of the big surgeries is behind me that things will start to improve.

 

whats libito? is that like, your sex drive? (i feel slow...)

 

thanx. thats what i figured...

 

Yes. It certainly is.

VanceA;

Certain medications can really mess with your libido. If you are on any meds, check with your GP or Local Chemist - Some meds even have info sheets enclosed outlining side effects, if so - give it a read and see.

Feeling down at all? Depression can also have a hand in altering ones libido for the worse (This is drawing from personal experience). Anti-Depressants are also notorious for killing your sex drive.

If you aren't on anything or feeling down, You may just have a naturally low libido, as others have mentioned before. I've heard that shellfish is supposed to make you quiet Virile, Oysters in particular.

A Sexual therapist may also be able to help, or at least point you in the right direction - Try google to find one in your locale for further information.

Just my thoughts. Hope you can come to some form of solution.

 

Do you have a problem with this, though? Or if you have a partner, does he?

Because I don't really see the point in increasing your libido just to conform to some supposed "normal" libido.

I mean, I don't really have a lot of libido, but I have no one to do libidinous things to, so it's not really a problem. Who knows, perhaps I'll only develop one once I'm actually with someone?

 

Some people have a low libido and are ok this way. But if this is bothering you, you might see a sex therapist, maybe he/she could help.
Take care, Eleanor

 

Hmm, but is increasing your libido going to solve that? I mean, wanting sex seems different to me from really feeling something for someone.

I'm not sure if my opinion is of any use. I think I'm not really seing the problem in not really wanting a lot of sex. Not feeling a lot of drive for sex always seemed more a convenience than a hindrance to me.
