At Men's Health Clinic, we've helped my People with Low Sex Libido and your case may not be exptional
Low libido describes a decreased interest in sexual activity.
It’s common to lose interest in sex from time to time, and libido levels vary through life. It’s also normal for your interest not to match your partner’s at times.
However, low libido for a long period of time may cause concern for some people. It can sometimes be an indicator of an underlying health condition.
Low Libido happens to a lot of guys, but few of them want to talk about it — especially when “it” is a low libido. After all, virility plays a big role in our concept of manhood. There’s this idea you’re supposed to live up to: “Real men are always in the mood.”
But that’s not true. Lots of men have low sex drive, for a lot of reasons
Testosterone is an important male hormone. In men, it’s mostly produced in the testicles.
Testosterone is responsible for building muscles and bone mass, and for stimulating sperm production. Your testosterone levels also factor into your sex drive.
Normal testosterone levels will vary. However, adult men are considered to have low testosterone, or low T, when their levels fall below 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), according to guidelines from the American Urological Association (AUA).
When your testosterone levels decrease, your desire for sex also decreases.
Decreasing testosterone is a normal part of aging. However, a drastic drop in testosterone can lead to decreased libido.
Talk to your doctor if you think this might be an issue for you. You may be able to take supplements or gels to increase your testosterone levels.
Low Sex Libido should be assessed and distinguished from Erectile Dysfunction. Some men with ED have problems with maintaining the erection long enough for penetration and develop a degree of fear and as a result develope low libido. The age, sexual experience and recent sexual activity should also be considered. Also the partner should be considered in the terms of their sexual experience, sexual ability and sexual demands.
