Libido Loss? What YOUR symptom is telling you…(Part 2)

Ask for help – From your spouse, that is. At least at first. He or she may, after all, have been the first to note the low libido. Whether it’s exploring each other’s sensuality, experimenting with new positions or trying to get in the mood more often, explain to your spouse that you may feel awkward, self-conscious and a bit stressed in attempting to change, but that you want to do it for the sake of the relationship, Dr. Zussman says. “Evoke their cooperation. Tell them that you need their help and understanding.”

Talk to yourself…or perhaps a friend – Ask yourself why your sex drive has taken a nosedive, Dr. Zussman says. Has it always been that way? What was happening in your life and relationship when it veered? Mull it over in your head, and then talk to your partner, a friend or a family member who knows you well, Dr. Zussman says. They may help to spark some insight.

Take time to address your stress - He works, she works, he’s tired at the end of the day. She comes home late several evenings a week. The kids have homework that needs to be checked. The ambition to excel professionally, the demands of raising children, the need to maintain social connections – all these stresses put the brakes on the sex drive, Dr. Zussman says. “That can out you in a state of apathy when it comes to sex,” she adds.

None of these every day, every week worries leaves much time, ambition or emotional energy for making love, Dr. Zussman says. She suggests that a couple may need to give sex higher priority in their relationship. “Try making a date with your partner. Not just to make love, but talk to each other, hold each other and share your feelings and concerns about each other. That may help to restore your sexual interest.”

Help for those hormones
It’s also entirely possible that your libido is being K.O.’d by a hormone imbalance in the body. Here’s what you should consider.

Deal openly with the menopause – some women may notice a declining interest in sex during menopause, Kessler says. It’s a common side effect while the body is trying to adjust. Oestrogen replacement therapy can help return your libido to normal, she says.

“Once the unpleasant symptoms of the menopause have stopped, the drive returns and could even be enhanced.”

If you are going through the menopause, ask your doctor about hormone replacement therapy.

Wait out the pregnant pause – Hormonal changes during pregnancy, especially the last trimester, and lactation often can dampen the drive for sex, according to Kessler. “Hormones are present in different levels at these times,” she says. “Loss of libido immediately after childbirth and during lactation is natures way of spacing children.”

Test your testosterone levels – If you’re a man who seemingly has no psychological reason for a lack of desire, you may want to ask your doctor about having a blood test to measure your body’s level of testosterone. Low levels of the male hormone aren’t a common cause of sapping your sexuality, but it always must be suspected, Dr. Reznichek says. Depending on the cause, a doctor could prescribe either testosterone injections or a medication that counteracts other hormones that are suppressing naturally occurring testosterone, he says.

… OR it could be that…

Let me explain a little further for those that may be confused… and please re-read this and take the info in.

I have had a few letters from people around the world making the point that my Layman’s Guides stacks and cycles are a little TOO low power. They mention that I have, shall we say, ‘underdone’ the amounts. Some of them make the point that comparison cycles from the Net and elsewhere are far more effective because the amounts that are given in them are far more than those of mine.

The cycles and stacks that I give are the safest that they can be. The do not reflect on compared cycles from others because I am not a twat! There is NO need to take too much, why should there be? I have said this many, many times; why take 10 when 1 may do the job? DO NOT be fooled into thinking that more is always better – I cannot stress this enough.

I am not writing this for the fun of it. I am genuinely concerned that some of you will and HAVE gone far too much over and above what was needed. Fuck the dealer and his comments of “double the dosage and double the muscle” – they cannot be more wrong I assure you and some do this be assured.

The libido article makes some good points and in most cases gear problems are not always the cause, but if you do experience problems in your nut bullet area, then take the pointers given in the article seriously, but a look at the amounts and types of gear that you are using. You could have the answer right in front of you. Think about it.
