You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling

Half The Man You Used To Be – You’re not feeling like the man you used to be. There was a time when you could get an erection just looking at something shaped like breasts. Now you’re not even in the mood to have sex. The first thing most guys in this situation think of is getting some Viagra or another erectile dysfunction medication. What most men don’t realize is, those pills won’t do anything for your sex drive. Sure, they may make you hard, but that doesn’t equal desire. You’ve got to figure out why you aren’t feeling like yourself.

Shape Up – What should you do if you’re lacking the desire to have sex? Hit the gym. More than likely you’re not as fit as you once were. This may not be the entire reason why you’re not in the mood to make love. The problem is more than likely due to a lack of testosterone. That’s the male hormone that keeps everything in check. You can naturally raise your testosterone levels by working out. Don’t go to the gym and think you’ll be working out like an Olympic athlete right away. You may even consider hiring a personal trainer for your first few visits. Diet and exercise play a big part in how your body regulates hormones. This is especially true for guys as they age. Don’t go to the doctor thinking there is something wrong with your penis.

Raging Hormones – You also shouldn’t immediately ask for testosterone replacement therapy. It has side effects that can be much worse than a lack of desire in the bedroom. Go the all natural route and see how you feel. You’ll probably feel the desire to have sex the minute you leave the gym. Your testosterone will be in high gear and you’ll be around lots of half naked women working out. If that doesn’t get your juices flowing, then nothing will.
