Q: Low Libido/sex Drive

This is kinda difficult for me to talk about, but I think Im losing interest in sex. I am 25 and up until 3 weeks ago, havent had sex in about 2 years. 3 weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were having sex, and I went limp for some unknown reason. I couldnt really keep my mind on sex. I just didnt feel as into it as I should have. Im thinking that going so long without sex has something to do with it, or its just because Im not a very confident person. Im constantly feeling like Im not good enough because I have a below average size penis. I have very low self esteem and Im constantly depressed and stressed out. Also, I rarely ever even feel the urge to masturbate. Im trying to figure out if I should take those pills to increase libido or not. I have no idea what to do. My girlfriend broke up with me last week because I wasnt intimate with her, and that I wasnt showing my love for her. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me. Thanks.

The depression is causing your lack of a sex drive as is your low self esteem and stressed out nature. You need to get all of that fixed before your mind will be ready for sex again. You're too distracted to have sex as far as your brain and body are concerned! No penis or libido pill is going to help you: You need psychological help first.

Thanks

Thanks for the info, but I cant really afford to get psychological help. Am I doomed to go without sex for the rest of my life?

If you don't want psychological help, then yes. The cost of buying all of those phony libido enhancers could instead be saved up in order to Afford psychological help.

deep breaths :-)

Take time to relax JohnDoe. If your girlfriend has dumped you because you didn't have sex with her, then maybe she wasn't the right person for you anyway. In a healthy relationship, I think that the one needs accept and love the other as a complete person. The package, not just the perks. That includes the inability to be intimate at times. I'm no expert, but I say just give it time. Try to relax in general. (I have a done a 10 day meditation course, which helped me relax a lot and has to date improved my life in general.) Hope that helps.
