Sex drive - Page 2

Heavy workouts leave me exhausted and listless when it comes to that sort of thing. The Texas Summer heat doesn't help either!

Do you think it's something to go to the doctor's about? It's been an issue for a while for me, but I just don't have the balls to go.

No, It is more of a "drive thing" than a performance thing. Know what I mean?

The engine's working fine but the starter motor's playing up.

My wife's has gone up. Mine has gone down. Funny how things work that way.

freediverchuck · 08-06-2009, 05:28 PM

Sex drive huh? Heck yes, I'll drive just about anywhere for sex!! heh

Stevelegh · 08-06-2009, 05:28 PM

In my house it's like a 'famine'

Bob Geldof rang me the other day and asked if he could put on a benefit concert..........

I am thinking that it is the supps I have been taking or the fact that I am just worn out. Maybe the combination of the two. I am presently takiing an NO, Creatine and BCAAs. I took Novedex XT approx three months ago and it took me at least a month to get anywhere close to where I was. That stuff was awfulllllllllllllllllllllll. I felt like an 80 year old while I was using it and would have rather played Su doku rather than have sex. My wife even propositioned me one night and I said Nah. Pathetic I know.

Been there. Stress can completely trash things. For me, stress is now mostly gone, and it took the libido with it. If anyone's seen my libido can you please send me a PM. I'm prepared to pay a ransom!

Not me commenting, just passing through too!

"2. Maintenance Sex
Let's face it ? sex just isn't going to be an eye-gazing spiritual encounter every time. "Some couples think everything has to feel perfect, or you both have to be in a sexual mood to have sex, but if everyone waited for that, sex wouldn't happen very often at all," says Clayton. That's where maintenance sex comes in ? when you just do it, even if your engine isn't necessarily raring for a ride."

Lethargy, comes to mind.

Good addition to the thread and I have read that before also.
Darwinian...'use it or lose it'.

Later...

I am having the opposite effect. It's a much higher sex drive since I started lifting. When the girlfriend comes over, it can be 3 or 4 or 5 times a day. and not the 2min kind. it's starts at 30 min for the first one and goes longer subsequently.

I do that in lifting too. The second and third sets are stronger.

GuyJin · 08-06-2009, 06:57 PM

Right now, it's mid-summer here, hot, steamy, humid...weather is immaterial. I don't have any trouble, and neither does my wife. When we want to have "fun" we do--when we don't, we don't. No biggie. I've always had a high sex drive/libido, and it hasn't diminished with age. Not yet. When that day comes, I'll deal with it.

...Kennedy · 08-06-2009, 06:59 PM

I've never noticed a difference in drive from exercise (at least, yet).

We, like most parents, just had to make the transition from well-planned and unhurried to whenever opportunity knocks.

What a machine

bryantone · 08-06-2009, 07:19 PM

Working out makes my test jacked up(no pun intended) unfortunately My wife of 30+ years has less of a drive. She has threatened to get me a prescription of valium. So it is a couple times a week and the rest in cold showers.

BJE · 08-06-2009, 09:30 PM

I'd have to say that working out increases my sex drive. I work out at the gym in the morning. Nighttime workouts are in bed.

I had the same experience with Novedex XT, was really amazing......... just zilch, not'a, nothing......... it was awful!! But after about 2 weeks it was back to normal. My wife knows that I have another bottle here and she's threatening to put it into my food when I'm not looking......... lol

Sex is actually something that we do much more of during the school year. Once the kids are off to school we have an hour or two each morning before we have to be to work.

Why look at the calendar, school is starting up next week........... rofl.

This... When I get into working out for long periods. Mine goes through the roof. The wife is like, might wanna take care of that yourself. Because no way can I keep up, lol.

I'm still extremely active in life and it is very hard to see myself turn 40 in 3 weeks. Don't look it or act it at all... act old anyway.

blu2xtreme · 08-06-2009, 10:34 PM

More I work - more the sex drive
Hubby does not work out - sex drive not so much
nothing wrong with him - just not as into and figures
once or twice a month is enough - not

Who the heck has that kind of time in their day? LOL!!

Mine is through the roof...my husband not as much but never says no...

Try sarsaparilla (I think I spelled it correctly) Also known as smilax- may be a natural test booster, as well as being a herbal menopause support.

Deborah_Lyn · 08-07-2009, 05:14 AM

the guys complaining about sex drive of their wives...

1) how much time is spent with non sex touching? touch w/o expecting intercourse?
2) how much intimacy do you build up - shared secrets, date night etc., not just the normal daily grind
3) any toys ( no details, I don't need them)

I'd really suggest some of the newer sex manuals. If it's not occuring as much as you'd like, there are ways to make her want sex and foster couplehood. Worth a shot. Age 40/50s is when sex is supposed to be really good because people are more comfortable in their skin. /shrug

example: my ex BF used to rub my arm for a while and after 10 minutes, I'd jump him, lol. Results may vary, but that small action synchronized us. It took me about a bit to realize it was a trigger.

I think that is the key! The misconception is that it has to be all stilettos and whipped cream instead of just grabbing a quicky in the laundry room while the kids are getting ready for bed...

oops...ok, that was a response, but I wasn't the first woman to crash!

And to think.............I would be happy if my wife just did the laundry in the laundry room.

I'm boycotting one thread because of how far south its gone, but your response ... er... answer to the other post got my mind wandering. Nah- couldn't happen- the cats would want to check it out. We need a closed, lockable door.
