Week 169 :: How Can One Increase Their Sex Drive?

[TheBodyGenie]

I just noticed that when I started to build my body, my desire for sex have lessen.
Is this due to being tired?

I will visit this thread often and see if there will be more info to regain and improve my libido.

[tylerrico]

From easiest and most common (1) to supplements (4):

1. Rest - make sure you are resting/sleeping enough. Reducing stress increases mood increases libido.

2. Cardio and Exercise - it increases blood flow in your body; vital to getting blood going through your organs. Good blood flow throughout your organs improves libido. Squats and Deadlifts require the entire body to perform and release the most hormones thus releasing the more testosterone than other exercises.

3. Nutrients and Deficiency - Check your diet. A deficiency in a certain nutrient can lead to lower libido. Even something as simple as overlooking Zinc can decrease libido. When strict dieting and especially when eating the same meals every day, it is often easy to forget about a nutrient that your body needs, and a side effect may be decreased libido.

4. Supplements - Try the above first. If libido is still lacking, then supplements may be a good option to try. Libido-increasing blends often contain L-Arginine to help with the release of nitric oxide (increasing blood flow) and Ginkgo Bilboa, also to help with blood flow.

lol at the penis exercise! i almost spat out what i was drinking...


I think it is the amount of cardio one person does. Plainly because it requires the heart to work harder thus pump more blood into the muscles, and increase a sex drive? well since i do plenty of it because i play rugby, i'm either really tired, but when i'm tired, i immediately get my juices flowing thinking about the certain lady (or ladies) in my life. Plus sleep works well too for great recovery.

I personally think you can tell if you have a normal sex drive, is when you wake up in the morning either with a tent in your bed or for the ladies, dry humping the pillow. Then again that might just be myself and my girlfriend

[orvieto]

Marry a hot wife. been married for 15 years, my drive shoots through the roof when she walks by.

Good cardio and fitness helps allot.

Swimming, which I do not do enough because I'm focussed on lifting. Is a shot in the system. Swimming will get you junk working in top form as well. Must be the full body cardio and oxygen deprivation not sure ...overall i don't know anything about why.

I just know it works. If you have not put swimming in your overall workout think about it. I first would swim 1 lap and rest. Now I can knock out a mile at a good clip. I backed off because it burns up so much calories...calories i'm trying to save for lifting.

I'm not selling the benefits of swimming just pointing out something that had a "very positive side effect"

[mistercollie]

I guess I'd question if it is really that necessary to even have a sex drive? I actually look forward to the day I have no motivation for it. It's already incredibly low, on days I lift (6 out of 7 days), but hell at least I have my sanity.

[TheCartographer]

for a great sex drive here is a quick list of do's and dont's, which most certainly can also be unabridged, but here are some the highlights. I'll be happy to expound on them later if asked. However, until then:


Do:

1. Go to church at least once a week from the start of the service to the very end.

2. Seek a true and active relationship with god. Not just one of duty & obligation, or when you need something.

3. Love your wife/husband passionately during everything, not just when they are being wonderful. The key is to be as loving when they are not as nice as they should be. This leads to the next point.

4. Lead by example.

5. Read things that will help strengthen your soul (i.e. The bible, but also other books. Authors like c.s. Lewis, max lucado, rick warren, & joel osteen are great). And read them with your spouse (one chapter a night is all you need, or one bible passage).

6. Think positive -- all the time! The glass is always 1/2 full.

7. Finally, dedicate as much time to your spiritual well-being as you do to your physical well-being. Pick up a book, go for a walk, have some quiet time.


And now the flipside:

1. Don't put god on the back burner. You go to work to enrich yourself financially. You go to the gym to enrich yourself physically. You go out and meet people to enrich yourself socially. School is for mental enrichment. What do you do for your soul? That is the most important element. On your soul, all things are built.

2. Don't lose control of your emotions. This does not equate to "turn yourself into a cold-hearted fiend," but instead means don't fly off the handle. No road rage, no impatience, no lack of faith. What's wrong with you? Are you a man or beast? What separates you from a gorilla? Your mind! Use it!

3. Don't be a consistent tv-watcher. If you have to turn it on, try to keep it for only a short a period of time. Watch what you must, and forget the rest. The key is to minimize tv. Who cares if you missed the game or the latest episode of grey's anatomy? In the grand scheme of things, it didn't matter.

4. Don't listen to music that is not in accordance with the new you. How can you be positive and strong when you are listening to someone sing about the "hoes," getting drunk high, etc.

5. Don't be negative. If somebody rubs you the wrong way - be nice. If your facing tough odds - stand strong. If someone is trying to have you compromise your values - hold fast, which leads to...

6. Don't be dichotomous/duplicitous. Meaning saying one thing and doing another flagrantly. Yes, the word "hypocrite" could have been used, but all of mankind, with the exception of one are hypocrites. A person that is dichotomous, may truly want to do the right thing, but due to other influences caves in. This cannot be. However, you also cannot succeed alone. You must turn to god. If you don't -- trust me, you will never win.

And finally...

7. Lay off the porn. If you and your wife/husband are into that - fine. Watch together. However, don't make it a habit. And never watch it alone. You're relationship will suffer. Believe me.

And for all the skeptics, there are physiological reasons behind the guidelines listed, but i have typed for long enough. I hope this helps.

+h

ps. Introducing toxins into the body, whether through smoking, drinking, illicit drug use, is terribly damaging and will destroy you from the inside out -- including that sex drive. However, the things mentioned above are proven to wreak even worse damage. Stress through tv, emotional outrage, internet addiction can nuke your system. You have one body and one life. Protect it.

wtf

[hodong6389]

prolatis, yohimbe, damiana, hard on for days

also a zinc deficiency could be your problem

[masong11]

Just tried p-boost after reading some reviews about it. Worked good but pretty pricey. The trial was free but you have to pay for the shipping which was quick. Anyone know any coupon codes for p-boost.com?

wow I didn't even know this section existed. Some good stuff in here.

[tigerhu45]

I have a relatively low sex drive...

I mean I love to get down, but its more out of desire then necessity... I could handle being without it for a good while... I think it partly may be that my brother got all the testosterone (his drive is out of control!)

I won't take testosterone boosting supplements cuz of the effect it would have on my mood, but I try to increase it naturally...

High fat diet, lots of powerlifting and leg workouts, plenty of arginine (hehe), and a lot of sleep...

Anyone know the effect a keto diet would have on T? I'd assume positive cuz of all the fat...

I do hope someone responds to this question with some good insight.

[tigerhu45]

I do hope someone responds to this question with some good insight. I spent 3.5 years of my life with a man who left me because I had no sex drive. We loved each other more than life itself, but there was nothing I could do, and how fair is it to hold the one you love hostage to a sex-less relationship?

[tigerhu45]

So, I, in particular, would LOVE to get some advice.. especially from any women who may share this same struggle!!

[tigerhu45]

I do hope someone responds to this question with some good insight.

[Vicjustice]

May i never have needs of "supplements" to increase my sex drive

[jwalk12755]

Horny goat weed.

[eniko22]

Personally, i would say in the morning around , lets say 6:30 ish. Because:
A: Your testosterone levels are alot higher in the morning than in the after noon or night.
B: your more focused, relaxed because you've like slept for 6-8 hrs.

[eniko22]

Nashville Tennessee. And I am new to eBaum's world.

Standing barbell curls would be my exercise of choice for biceps. Make sure you pay careful attention to correct standing barbell curling form, although I agree with Arnold that it's fine and good to *sometimes* swing the weight a little on the last

[eniko22]

concentration curls
switch in other lifts but these are my 2 favorite and got the best results as far as peak/size goes.
