Boyfriend has low sex drive--bad diet? circumcision?

Tagged as: Health, Sex<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (18 May 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 20 May 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend has been circumsized from birth. He seems to have a very low sex drive and doesn't feel up to it much. It frustrates me because i want to feel wanted and have good hard sex. I'm very passionate but i hate having to ask him for it all the time, i prefer him being spontaneous.

He doesn't have a good diet at all, but he claims there is nothing wrong with him, he is fit as a fiddle and he just doesn't need to eat a lot.

Is his lack of sex drive due to circumcision, bad diet, or is it just how he is?

What can we do to increase sex drive at all?

Well it won't be the circumcision.

It could just be the way he is but if his diet is really bad then improving it could make a difference.

Most people underestimate the effect that their diet has on their bodies, including their sex drive.

Try talking to him first and if that don't work, start the whole thing off by feeling him off or by going down on him.

If you two live together, i dont know of a man alive that don't like to be woke up by getting a knobber!

A reader, anonymous, writes (19 May 2009):

As others have said, it has nothing to do with circumcision. Many things determine the sex drive of both men and women. Some of these are:

A persons own natural hormone balance. This probably varies more among women than men, but men also have greatly different sex drives.

How a person was brought up to think of sex. If a young person has always been taught that sex is wrong then they will likely have trouble thinking that it is OK.

How confident a person is. If they lack confidence then they might have a fear of failing as a good lover and avoid it. If he has had a failed prior relationship, like someone leaving him, it could really hurt his confidence.

Stress at work or over finances will lower sex drive. Just being tired from long working hours will have the same effect. High stress causes the body to make too much of the wrong hormones.

Diet can also play a part. Certain foods tend to heighten sexual desire, while others reduce it. I have read what the various foods are, but I really don't remember which they are right now. I don't believe that they have as great an effect as the first 3 things that I mentioned. I think they have an effect because they slightly alter hormone levels. It is believed that the hormones used in raising animals put a lot of estrogens into our bodies through milk and meats. High estrogen is detrimental to a man's sex drive and performance, but so too is low estrogen. This subject is very complicated.

Fiona xxx agony auntIs he stressed or busy or whatever?

If you are really busy, chances are sex is more likely at the weekend when you have quality time together, rather than in the week when you are rushed - just guessing.

When you say bad diet, do you notice lots of fast food and not eating the right foods?

In terms of nutrition, Siberian Ginseng helps the sex drive.

Plenty of guys are circumcised and have no problems in this respect.
