How to Kill a Man’s Sex Drive

Ladies: has a man ever told you he hates it when you cry? You might think it’s because he dislikes seeing you in pain. And that might be true. But that’s not the whole story. A team of neuroscientists in Israel recently found that female tears actually reduce a man’s libido.

If you're having sex drive issues, check your medicine cabinet. Several varieties of prescription medication can dampen desire.

Some hormonal birth control methods such as pills and patches can increase women's levels of sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which drops the amount of testosterone that's floating around freely in the bloodstream.

the Pill to have a long-term effect on libido in some women. The level of SHBG was twice as high in women who had taken the Pill—four months after they'd stopped taking the medication—as those who never had.

I posted about wanting more sex them my H and wanting to know how to fix it. I have since been kinda talking to people not really about our sex life but just about things that affect men’s sex drive. It turns out that him drinking as much beer as he does affects that quite a bit. So now I have a new problem how to get him to cut down Has any one else had this happen to them??

How much beers does he drink daily? I do drink a couple of beers daily from time to time. It doesn't affect my sex drive.

He drinks every night 4 to 5 beers and that’s only if one of his friends don’t show up. Then who knows how many he drinks!! I think he is close to being an alcoholic. I just don’t want to believe it I guess.

Sorry to hear, yes with that many beers daily, not only he'll turn to an alocoholic, it is bad for his health and cost for the beers. Of course, sex will be the last thing he'll think of with 4-5 beers in his system. Get him help if you can, does he have a good friend that dont drink or who can control his consumption, get him to talk to your H?

My 2 cents - someone who enjoys the buzz will not stop drinking and only get resentful over attempts to control his behavior. If you start to control your significant other's substance abuse, you are sicker than they are, that is according to Al-Anon. He will stop when he is ready. You can speed that up by leaving, etc. You can choose what you will do or accept, not what he does.

I hope you get more responses from men on the impact of alcohol on their sex drive. For me as a woman, it is harder to have an orgasm when my body is numb from too much drink, so those drinks are left back in my youth.

I agree its not healthy at all and i try to get him to cut down. Right now he is doing pretty good just for the fact that i have told him i will leave if something does not change. I guess i should take this post to another topic about dealing with an alcholic

As I'm sure you have heard this problem in the past I'll make it short and simple. Shortly after the birth of our second child, my wife had an abnormal pap smear and had to have a biopsy. Since this time she has had no sex drive. Could this be medical or emotional? She says she has no desire to have sex at all, and if I bring up intimacy she gets upset. Can you please help me, I have been dealing with this problem alone and had no one to turn to, thank you.

I am one of those women men wish for (very attractive with a very high libido)... but be careful what you wish for! I cannot seem to find a suitable male who does not wain with the acceptable amount of sex for me after that 3-6 month initial dating period. My desire remains very high (for a woman - with 2 young children) at 3-4 times a week.

I've been sexually deprived (2-3xs a month for the 20 years of my marriage) and not found a boyfriend who matches me since my husband's death 8 years ago ... yes I'm in my 30ty's and no slowing down ... So how do I slow me down??? The last guy is accusing me of treating him like a prostitute. He likes to be kissed and touched and flondles me but I"m not supposed to want anything out of it! Then once he does want sex (every 2 weeks) ... I get crazy cus then I want it again the next day and the day after, etc. It's like giving a heroine addict heroine just a little once or twice a month and then saying ... sorry no more for you. It's torture.

I am married to a woman that has very low sex drive. I believe that I have done a lot to sexually please her, from great back rubs to extremely good orgasims that make her see double, yet she has said that sex is boring to her. Therefore, my only choice is to either find a girl friend or find a drug that reduces my sex drive.

I'm so very confused, maybe you can help me understand. I'm in a committed relationship with a man I am deeply in love with and have been for two years. I've always had what i thought was a healthy sex drive, but now I'm concerned that it's not healthy. In the beginning we had a very active and passionate sex life, but as time goes by he seems less and less interested. For awhile I think he had sex with me just to keep me happy, and now he just ignores my advances. We've been together long enough that he knows when I'm trying. 90% of the time I'm the one that initiates sex. It's hard for me because I am so very sexually attracted to him, so much so that I have never turned him down. I know that we are not going to have sex several times a day like we did in the beginning, but I don't know why we can't do it several times a week. Most men that i have talked to wish their wives would give it to them half as much.

Sex is one thing that I truly enjoy doing. I have some painful health issues one being Fybro. and having good sex relaxes me, relieves stress, and allows me to sleep through the night which I can't do on my own. He's gained a considerable amount of weight but he has always been a big man, he's always been self conscious of his body. He rarely takes all of his clothes off in front of me. I, don't mind, and I'm always supportive of his physically appearance. I on the other had have not changed a bit. I'm the same size I was when we meet.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. He is the most amazing man I have ever met. We have an incredible relationship. We spend a lot of time together, talk about everything going on in our lives, he supportive, caring and protective of me. I held off sex for the first few months and explained to him that it was important to me that we felt that there was potential for a real relationship before we added that part.

I can certainly deal with once a week, but I am often rejected after two weeks of no sex. I have asked him if he is sexually attracted to me. He says he is and that he is just tired or most recently told me that after the last time he was sore for two weeks so he avoided being with me. Was it my initial talk with him that caused this?? I feel like crying over it everyday. I feel unattractive and rejected. Is my sex drive abnormal for a woman? Please help!!
