Apparently the implant was |
I was wondering if anyone experienced a loss of libido with E.D. For me the loss of ability to have an errection was a gradual process over a couple of years. It was matched by a slow loss of interest in sex. In some ways it makes impotence easier to cope with. What I dont understand is why I bearly have any desire at all now. I have had my testosterone measured and it is normal although I dont know what the figure actually is. I can accept that knowing I cant have sex would put a bit of a dampner on things but this is a near total loss of interest. I'm not even sure why I ever found women attractive or sex desirable and believe me I used to have a very strong sex drive. Looking at porn on the internet dosent do anything at all. Its like part of my brain just isnt working anymore. Im begining to wonder if I'm still male! I have an ultrasound coming up to look at the mechanical side of erections- I no longer get nocturnal erections. My doctor dosent seem remotely interested in my loss of interest in sex. I would have thought it should mean something.

Very frustrating.
Phil, Have you had several 'bad' relationship? How is your mental state? Are your depressed? Even just a little? What is your feeling toward women in general? Paul
Testosterone isn't the only hormone at play. The pituitary gland has a great influence on sexual desire, I don't know the mechanics involved but somehow it is supposed to stimulate the area of the brain responsible for sexual arousal.
Phil, I'm in the same boat as Charles. I am now having wet dreams about my wife. Even in the dreams, there is a problem... Just great. This has got to get fixed. Ron
I have found that when I am not taking Cialis or the effects have worn off (they last for about 3 days), I dont have much interest in sex either. I dont have noctural erections without the medication either. I do find that days I wake up erect or an erect during the night I have a need for sex. Once the effects wore off I have to push myself to take a pill. Although the meds dont do anything for libido I think getting an erection easier makes you want it. Good luck with the ultrasound
I was in a bad relationship and also taking antidepressants. Recently I weened off them and they are just getting out of my system. I too had loss of libido..porn did not do much. Also low testosterone and been taking that going on 3 months and my libido is going crazy. But my relationship is going to hell and I am quite miserable. Seems like I solve one problem and another one replaces it.
Patrick, I am a single guy. I don't take ANY prescription medications...I think they are all synthetic toxins. I get into relationships & my libido is fine...then the relationship goes bad and I have no interest in sex...then after a few months I meet another lady & my libido is back. This is natural. As the saying goes, "It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chewed your ass out all day."
Paul, I understand what you are saying. If your partner gets all mental on you it is difficult to have a good sex experience. I was married for 19 years and believe me I been through a lot of what you are saying. Patrick Phill, you're 44 not 88! If you were fine with a shift in your sexuality (as in lack of) that would be one thing. But not only are you distressed by it, the change has a physical symptom against your age group. (No NTS) I would THINK that your doctor would at least want his patient in a good mental state. You may want to talk to him/her about the lack of empathy you're feeling. RPH |
