40 years old.. NO Sex Drive?
Question:
Answers:
Lay off the drugs, and you'll lay on your wife. Honestly, it's just your age -- really. There's 100 things going on and your parents are becoming your kids.. your kids have issues/topics and it's easy to settle in and get ready for the next day -- then, get into what might be HOURS of time that's needed (as you know). If your wife wants more than you're giving, have her work a little harder and surprise you with an open mind (I meant mouth).
A sleeping pill? come on now.. just go to bed and stop relying on garbage & nonsense. You're 40, not 80 for crying out loud. And for the goofball below me... You're whoring for a Best Answer by answering this question -- and without an ounce of humor? (real mean wouldn't be a Top Contributor, by the way.. so what do YOU know about really dealing with a woman this way?) Zinc? how dopily clinical is THAT... and what do you know about being 40, and being a real husband by the way? what wife would put up with a schmoe's being a top-contributor on Yahoo?
Actually you will probably get a lot of "dumb" answers about this but it is a very serious question. First of all make an appointment with your doctor and describe the symptoms. Ask him to check testosterone levels. Also, one of the things that helped me considerably was taking a mulltivitamin supplement. Apparently I was lacking zinc and a few other minerals and that seemed to fix things for me. good luck
Yeah SSRI's and anti psychotics did it to me and im 21!
I go all natural these days, Damiana is great for it! Im really unsure about mixing nature with pharmaceuticals however.
See a doc, theres probably more pharms they could put u on if u dont mind it. You exercise enough?
It certainly could be caused by your meds but really do you think yahoo has the answer? Speak to your family physician. If you are on anti depressants it could be your depression that is causing your change in libido. Maybe it is time to have your meds reasseced. I really think you can get back on track if you see your physician. Maybe you need some therapy where you can discuss the cause of your depression.
Your not alone in this one. Alot of men in their 40's start to have this problem. I know from personal experience and from friends of mine. Its nothing to be ashamed of. Go to a family doctor, who can prescribe something for you.
Antidepressants do put a damper on your sex drive, and more particularly, on a man's ability to perform. See your doc, hon
Well, I'm a woman who's on antidepressents and my libido is shot to he**! My hubby's is shot to he** too because he takes meds for his diabetes and high blood pressure. Aren't we just the pair? Well, I have done some research, because we wanna be sexual beings again. I read that male and females can get low on testosterone, which controls our sex drive, libido.. So, I'm pickin' up my testosterone today! And hubby's makin' his appt. for the doc on Monday! Worth a try! Look on the internet, it's really interesting. It's suppose to help with fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome. So, if your not horny, tired all the time, and need to poop at the drop of a hat..who knows????
Sorry to hear about the issue mate.
I have read in the past that a change of diet can help tremendously. This could also help you to reduce then stop the continuation of taking pills. Your caught in a protracted mental state of routine, something that we can all easily suffer from.
If the thought of not taking the sleep pill were to be suggested you would immediately say that you need it to continue your normal life pattern. To be quite frank the pills are begining to take their toll on you mate.
Your only chance that you have is to give up the pills through 100 PC belief in yourself being able to do it. Easy for me to sit here and say that, but the strength of the individuals mental power is the only answer. If you want to return to a healthy sex life then pills will not do it for you, you must take a command decision in your life. If you continue then you will continue to go down hill and your life will be more stressed and the longer you will fall in your life. Be positive and face your own mental battle mate, you can win and feel 10 years fresher for it. Diet of fresh fish with a healthy gulp of cod liver oil each morning followed swiftly by a toothbrush with paste on it to throw into your mouth. I started to take cod oil (not pills form) and after 2 months my mental agility and general health has improved. Try it, what have you got to loose but do remember only you can make it happen and nobody else.
