Decrease In Sex Drive
Low Sex drive in 25 yr old male.
I am a 25 year old male and for almost a year now my sex drive has went down hill and I am not sure why. I do not do any illegal drugs, not a heavy drinker. I have noticed that i have started watching more Adult videos. I have also heard that that can cause some problems in the sex drive area. I have had a testosterone test though my doctor and everything checked out fine. I'm running out of ideas. Could it be the videos? The article i read says it builds an unrealistic fantasy in my head and makes it harder to be active with real girls. Please Help me shine some light on this issue. (Also i am not on any anti depressants)(The article said that adult videos can actually cause a mans sex drive to decrease very much) This correct?

1Votesanswered Dec 23, 2009 at 06:56PMIn general, decreases in sex drive can be divided into two groups: biological and psychological. The biological group includes things like decreased testosterone (from things such as testicular atrophy or pituitary gland problems). A normal testosterone level makes biologic cause for decreased libido unlikely.
The other cause, psychological, can be attributed to things such as depression or anxiety. There is no specific test for these conditions and these are best evaluated by a physician.
The important question to ask is whether one has decreased libido or decreased interest in human women. With decreased libido, one is not interested in sex or masturbation. If one still has interest in either, it is less likely decreased libido and could be paraphilia or other psychological cause. A psychiatrist can assist in making this determination and helping to restore normal sex function.
