Low libido

[temp256]

I have a rather low libido. I rarely get aroused without some effort, but I'm fine once excited. I can barely manage to masturbate more than every other day, even when trying.

This has always been true, but it doesn't feel right. I don't have any stressors, and I can't think of anything that would contribute to this.

Any ideas on how to get horny?

Details, Need more details..

You don't mention whether you are male or female... How old are you (age range ?)

Either way you are in the right place.

Look at me talking like an expert. I registered in the last 24 hours but I feel most at-home already.

I have always enjoyed reading stories like I find her on literotica.com. I get more turned on by the text and plot line than with just pictures. My wife used to love for me to read them to her. She would get really wound up and need major attention !

Exercise the libido. Try getting to the edge and then stopping. Let it bake for a while. Do this for several days. You'll find that when you do "go over the edge" it is that much more intense.

Why doesn't it feel right? I mean.... who says you NEED to want to have sex every day? It's different for everyone. Is there peer pressure? Do you have a partner that complains?

My thoughts exactly.

I agree. You'd be surprised the number of people who might say that if you're having sex every other day, then you probably posses a high libido.

I am male, with an age around twenty.

It is neither peer nor partener pressure, as I have none (although such an absense might possibly be a factor). I say it's low because it feels low. Nothing arouses me without a strong concious effort, and I simply don't feel "excited". Even every other day, I don't feel much.

I know it is not depression, as verified by unrelated psychological examinations.

go see a urologist. They will check your testostrone, blood protein level and stuff. It could be your thyroid or even your kidneys not working right. Go see a doc though. Getting possibly medical related advice from a forum is kind of silly.

temp256 - Reuben80 is 100% Right

Have you checked this out with a doctor ? Any doctor ?

If you're feeling like you can't talk to your current doctor about it - find a new doctor !

Are you in a relationship or have sex partners, or are you single? Maybe if you've been single for a long time that might have something to do with it. I'm similar to you, my libido seems to have been starved into dormancy, but if I got a sex partner and started having sex I get the feeling it would come back with a vengeance. Plus, you're probably not that much different from most people. On Lit you're surrounded with people who seem to be sex mad but how many of them are actually like that? And if you ARE single, how do you expect to be turned on when there's nothing there to stimulate you ie. a gf or whatever?

I wouldn't worry, but it's good advice to see a doctor to rule out anything medical.

I am single, and have always been thus. I have not yet seen a phsician, and I suppose I shall have to.

Thanks to all for advice.

that doesn't sound low to me. Every other day is fine. sometimes my libido can just go and I don't feel the want for day's, even weeks. If it worrys you then perhaps you should see a Dr just for peace of mind. But don't get fooled in thinking your supposed to be horny all the time, if that was true then we wouldn't get things done.

a hard arousal does not mean you have a low libido persay. it could be attributed to many things, too much in day stress building on you, a lack of a strong imagination for personal pleasure, You could be one of those guys that cant get themselves off, they need some one else to.

both men and women can suffer from these problems, although women tend to suffer from them more, or atleast are more vocal.

If you Feel that this Problem is something New. for instance, i used to be able to make myself hard at the drop of a dime, come gallon loads and still have enough energy after all of that to run a merathon then make myself hard again at the drop of a dime; but now, i cant even get it up, i am shooting air bubbles, and even the thought of masterbating makes me tired, Then you should seek medical help. it could be something serious since your sex drive is the most dominant drive in your body (as a male).
