Hi I'm back after about 6 months in hiding. And I'm afraid to say I've not been able to stay horny and or enjoy being horny. Can't put my finger on why. Anyone got ideas?
I am interested in some answers/suggestions. I was always wanting sex but my partner never was and now I have kind of synced with him ... probably wanting it less than him now!
Hi Jimbo.
This seems to be quite a common issue. Sex drive often increases or decreases with no apparent reason. So many things can affect it.
Common reasons can be :
Medication : (change of meds or starting meds)
Stress : particularly at work, for example more responsibility, working longer hours etc
Change in relationship : separating, new partner, having more time away from a partner etc
Change in lifestyle : new interests, not enough quality rest, not enough quality sleep
Change in diet can also be a factor too as can overdoing alcohol
Age : libido does tend to decrease as we get older
So many things to consider. It's easy to become desensitized to sexual feelings if you've overdone that too. Too much masturbating, watching porn, and very 'samey' sex can lead too loss of libido.
If none of these apply a trip to you GP can be beneficial. There a number of treatments available to increase libido. Alternatively you could try some new toys, new positions, date nights out, new lingerie etc to help spice things up a bit.
Hope some of this may be useful xx
