Low libido

[BMot Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BMot]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can increase my libido?

While I can get a rock hard erection occassionally, these are few and far between. I feel like I'm not getting the most out of PE because when it's time to measure up, I can only manage a EQ of 6 or 7 most of the time, which I find hard to maintain long enough to get a decent measurement.

I put this down to low libido as I have to make an effort to get an erection in the first place, such as watch porn, but I never get that "I'm so horny!" feeling.

How old are you?
Libido can be affected by so many factors....including low testosterone levels, stress, interaction with other medications, etc...

How much beer are you drinking.

I'm 20, have a reasonably healthy diet, walk for at least 30 mins a day, aren't taking any medication (other than PE supplements) and I rarely drink (2 times a month at most).

I would recommend you to have blood test done, pating special attention to your endocrine system. Testosterone levels, estrogen, prolactin, etc.

Hey Bmot, how are ya today? I too had fairly luke-warm erections before I dedicated myself to p.e.ing. Now, more often than not, I enjoy 8 to 9 eq, which is fantanstic. Also since I've started p.e.ing, including generous edging sessions, my libido is through the roof, I find myself as horny now as at anytime in my life, and I love it. It's like I'm waking up from a long slumber, and it's curious because usually hormones flow when spring hits and the weather is warmer, but I tell you as the weather gets colder and colder, I get hotter and hornier. The only thing that sucks about the cold weather is; turtling, cause the 'lil fella gets cold. Anyhow I attribute my awakening libido to a number of things, p.e., exercising, nutrition and rest.
Now first how much are you p.e.ing, if your overtraing, you may cause negative P.I.'s such as poor eq like your describing. Testosterone is king when it comes to libido, so perhaps your test. levels are a bit low. You say you walk 30 minutes a day, and while that's good for circulation, it really doesn't effect test. levels. What does spike test. levels is weight lifting, and not 10 lb weights but heavy weights in the 5 to 8 rep range. I know this works because my testes feel fuller-larger after a good workout, which is a sign of proper test. production. Plus there are studies to confirm this.
Now how is your nutrition, because all the other factors may be in place, but a crap diet can kill everything. You need lots of protein, good carbs and healthy fats.
Proper hydration is crutial, so drink lots of water. Not just a couple 5 or 6 glasses, but a gallon or more for 200lb moderately active male per day.
Sleep too is key. Are you getting 7 to 9 hours every single night?
You stress levels...what are they like? Stress can most definately affect your physical/biological processes. Not to mention chronic stress means chronically high levels of cortisol which wreaks havoc in the body, tearing down muscles, ligaments and tendons. This means it's counterproductive to muscle building and p.e.ing. Cortisol is also a test. antagonist....so point being is have a realease valve to blow off stress, don't let it accumulate.
You might also try adding some zinc, stinging nettle, tribulis, and lots of quality anti-oxidants such a green tea to effect proper hormone levels and overall health.
Have you been in an emotional or mental funk lately? Because anything that weighs heavy on your mind can trigger deprssion like physiology and that has been known for screwing up hormonal balance.
It takes many ingredients to make the soup, so analyze each area and determine where you may perhaps be lacking.
Hope we can help ya.

Oh hey also, you night try Vit. d. I have recently read a bodybuilding article that says many weight lifters don't gain as much during the winter months, because they are not as exposed to the sun which causes your skin to manufacture vit. d. Any how I have done some reasearch and vit. d is a crutial element. In fact many sources state it acts like a hormone and or hormone modulator in the body, rather than a simple vitamin.
So a little FYI.

Hi,
I recently came across an article that suggest pomegranate juice. Some new research indictates that it is great for increasing your libido. It may just be worthwhile popping into your local store to see if they stock pomegranate.

researchers can't be trusted, many times they are just payd to "discover" that something is good for health, depending on what they need to sell more

Green tea may help.

And if all else fails, and you might be looking into supplements...

search up "Increasing Ejaculate" thread by me. Although I understand your goal is not the same as mine, I can tell u that the end result is an increase in libido. Also I am 21 now, and have ALWAYS had a high sex drive, with this stuff it puts me over the edge. I can sit in my room for 3-4 hours straight just masturbating and not getting soft.

With that in mind, I noticed that the result of me doing that 3-4 hours was majorly unhealthy sinc I neglected to eat more than one meal a day, and fell behind on school work lol. But if you work the supplements out right, you can maintain a good high libido, not one that is of a 15 year old teenager seeing titties for the first time.
