Temporary decrease in sex drive, huh?

[rikun]

Hey,

This has never happened to me. I'm 25 years old, always had a pretty high sex drive, masturbated regularly and whatnot. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I met this incredible girl. My sex drive plummets, I have masturbated only once after I met her, and I really don't even get my "regular" erections. I haven't made any changes to my lifestyle.

Is it possible that the "love chemicals" are messing up my sex drive or could it be something else? We want to have sex, but I really don't have the drive. Could it all be just performance anxiety in bed?

I hate this situation!

Sounds like it could be performance anxiety, especially since you and she haven't leapt into bed yet. But there can be organic causes too.

Avid bicyclists sometimes have problems. Bicycle seats can cause minor - but reversible - tissue damage to one's reproductive paraphernalia.

But frankly, I just think it's nerves and "newness." Nothing that can't easily be overcome (no pun intended).

We have actually leaped into bed, but my body had other thoughts. So that definitely says performance anxiety. But what bugs me, is that I don't even have the regular drive, I though performance anxiety only affects your erection and not your drive.

With my regular sex drive, I'd be going crazy right now

Might be the same reason that guys with beautiful wives will go to hookers. It's OK with a tramp but you don't touch the Virgin Mary.

Do you consume a low cholesterol low natural fat diet ? If so, then the best cure for your low sex drive is a boiled organic egg each day.

Sex hormones are steroids (fat soluble compounds) that control sexual maturity and reproduction. These hormones are produced mainly by the endocrine glands. The endocrine glands in females are ovaries and those in males are testes. While both males and females have all types of hormones present in their bodies, females produce the majority of two types of hormones, estrogens and progesterone, while males produce mainly androgens such as testosterone. Most androgens produced by females are converted to estrogens and some androgens in males are also converted to estrogens. Sex hormones are synthesized from cholesterol (a fatty acid) and other compounds and secreted throughout a person's lifetime at different levels. Their production increases at puberty and normally decreases in old age.

I can't see how a boiled egg would cure my low sex drive? I haven't made any changes to my diet, and I've never had a low sex drive before. And this thing started the day after I met her the first time.

It's not only with her, but also generally. I can't remember a single moment in my life I've been this long without ejaculating. But I guess I'll just have to focus on other things and let nature take its course.

Just for the record, I eat a pretty good diet, get enough healthy fats, I do eat eggs from time to time, etc. so it shouldn't be a problem.
