Aging and the Male Sex Drive

Low Sex Drive

What causes low sex drive?

Treatments for low sex drive

Treatments for Low Sex Drive
Below are some treatments for low sex drive

Psychological Counseling
Those who suffer from low sex drive because of psychological factors may benefit greatly from therapy or counseling. For some opening up the lines of communication and addressing the emotional burdens of a relationship is all that is necessary to rekindling their sexual desires.

Herbal Supplements
There are many herbal supplements touted to boost sex drive and enhance men's sexual performance, but many simply don't deliver. There is, however, an all-natural supplement that backs its claims with scientific research and clinical studies: an extract of Tribulus terrestris and Ginkgo biloba called Libilov for Men. In these studies, Libilov was proven to be effective in increasing sex drive in almost 9 out of 10 men without any unwanted side effects. Find out more about this supplement for sex drive and sexual performance.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy
A severe decrease in testosterone can cause of a host of problems in men ranging from: hair loss, reduction in muscle mass; bones become more brittle and prone to breakage; and the testes may shrink. These types of severe testosterone shortages, however, are often found in younger men and are due to genetic factors, abnormalities in the testes, or problems like tumors in the pituitary or hypothalamus glands. The AIDS virus can also affect these glands and impair the production of testosterone.

For men who suffer from severe testosterone problems testosterone replacment therapy may be an option. A physcian may prescribe a pill, injection, patch, or a gel to help introduce testosterone into the body. Testosterone replacement therapy, however, has its drawbacks. Long term use can cause breast enlargement and an increased risk of prostrate cancer.

Lifestyle Changes
Having a healthy life style (one that is free from drug and alcohol abuse, includes exercise, and healthy eating habits) is key to a man’s ability to maintain his sexual health.

Maintaining a Healthy Relationship With Your Sexual Partner
Maintaining a healthy relationship with your sexual partner is essential to having a fulfilling sex life. This means that it is imperative that you keep the lines of communications open with one another. The simple act of talking can often alleviate a great deal of fear associated with things like: your sexual desireability; sexual performance problems; and medical conditions that may cause you to be confortable about sex (such as being afraid of losing bladder control during intercourse). Also, being open and honest could help prevent sexual boredom from setting into the relationship. Non sexual intimacy with a partner (for example, spending a romantic evening together) , as well, can help encourage and foster sexual intimacy.
