According to the Wall Street Journal, one out of every five men over 40 in the U. S. have tried Viagra, with an average of nine pills dispensed every second. Unfortunately, nearly half suffer at least one side effect while using it, including headache, stuffy nose, flushed face, visual disturbances, and upset stomach. CBS News adds that the price has doubled since the product launched in 1999, with 100 pills now running about $1,500. Meanwhile, though the drug may help improve erectile dysfunction, it does nothing for sexual desire or low libido. As for women who suffer from the sexual…
Here’s a suggestion: No serious therapeutic advice can begin with the word just. What would we think of a therapist who suggested that alcoholics should “Just stop drinking!” and that people struggling with obesity should “Just stop eating so much!”? Psychopaths should “Just develop some compassion,” right? Sure, that’ll work. The problem with advice beginning with just is that it almost always turns out to be non-sense disguised as common sense. The insertion of just right there at the beginning suggests that we’ve been wasting our time talking about the problem, investigating its causes, exploring its complexities. Let’s get down…
5 Surprising Ways Sugar Lowers Libido Had enough of the TV commercials for erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs? How about that endless list of side effects? Low libido IS a problem and it isn’t just limited to men, it’s a problem for women, too. Its causes can be more complicated than you think (translation: taking a pill isn’t going to fix it!) Not only do many of us have low libido, we’re also just plain tired! In keeping with the current medical paradigm of “if you’re not currently on a drug, we’ll invent one for you to take,” if your libido is lacking,…

Our hormones don’t operate in a vacuum. They are interconnected, performing like a big musical symphony. When one becomes out of balance, others are sure to follow. Sex hormones, healthy blood sugar, and insulin balance are more intimately linked than you might think. Spikes in insulin, and the insulin resistance that results from eating too much sugar and flour, can lead to acne and irregular menstrual cycles and can make women lose hair where they want it and grow hair where they don’t. Men with blood sugar imbalances have trouble getting or maintaining erections and often get “man boobs.” We’ve…
If you’re taking any of the medications above, you may be tempted to add another to your regimen to treat your low libido, or bypass it altogether with a drug to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) (i.e. Viagra). For starters, Viagra does nothing directly to enhance your libido or the fact that many cases of ED are undoubtedly emotionally based. Your brain and nervous system control your sex glands and genitals, and this is why they also control your sexual desire, as well as orgasms. There are many similarities between men and women in regard to desire; contrary to popular belief,…
It’s estimated that 30-40 percent of people around the globe experience a lack of interest in sex for at least several months in any given year.1 The reasons for low libido are complex and run the gamut from stress and other emotional difficulties to physical problems, including erectile dysfunction. Most people do not seek help for chronic low libido, which is unfortunate because regular sex with a committed partner cannot be underestimated as a factor for reducing stress, bolstering self-esteem, and fostering feelings of intimacy and bonding between partners. A healthy sex life can provide for a longer, healthier and,…
Decreased libido is a reduction in sex drive. Possible causes include psychologic factors (such as depression, anxiety, or relationship problems), drugs, and low blood levels of testosterone. Depending on the cause, doctors may suggest psychologic counseling, prescribe a different drug, or recommend testosterone supplementation therapy. Sex drive (libido) varies greatly among men and may be decreased temporarily by conditions such as fatigue or anxiety. Libido also tends to gradually decrease as a man ages. Persistently low libido may cause distress to a couple. Occasionally, low libido can be a life-long problem that results from traumatic childhood sexual experiences or from…
It’s natural for men to notice a gradual decrease in sex drive (libido) as they age. The degree of this decline varies, and most men maintain at least some amount of sexual interest well into their 60s and 70s. Sometimes, however, loss of sex drive is related to an underlying condition. For men, depression and stress often contribute to loss of sex drive. Sometimes the culprit is a decrease in male sex hormones due to an endocrine disorder. In other cases, loss of sex drive may be a medication side effect. If you’re concerned about loss of sex drive —…
Lack of sex drive (lack of libido) is common in women, but more rare in men. Even men with who have difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction) usually have a normal, or even high, sex drive. However, some men do find that their interest in sex diminishes as they get older. And a very few have never experienced any sexual desire in their lives. The 21st century has seen the emergence of a lot of firms and clinics that claim to treat low libido in males. These organisations come and go. Often they charge very high fees for services that…
