Loss of Interest in and Ability to Have Sex Posted: 01-23-06 13:23pm
I have lost all interest in sex and
gradually became impotent. The doctor has
prescribed all the different drugs which
helped for a while. Now nothing works.
Is there anything I can do? Do I need to
see another type of doctor?

Losing INTEREST in sex (lack of sexual
instinct) is different than losing the
ABILITY for having sex (impotency). You
have lost both interest and ability for
sex, making the problem more complex.
There could be a medicine for lost ability
(Viagra), but I’m not sure that there is
some medicine for lost interest. You can
proceed by asking help from a psychiatrist
or other qualified mental health
professional.
