I am 26 years old with a very low sex drive (virtually none). I went to my doctor to check for low testosterone, but when the results came back things were 'fine' (I use the term lightly) and in fact my testosterone production was actually a little high. I have a hot girlfriend, but this is the third relationship that could end as a result of lack of physical intimacy. I can masturbate with some effort, but getting and keeping an erection is hard, no pun intended. I don't even have the proverbial morning wood. I read somewhere about SEX BINDING HORMONE GLOBULIN (SBHG) and how it effects the ability for testosterone to do it's thing. What the hell causes that in someone 26? I read something about cirrhosis of the liver!?!? I wonder if that could have something to do with it. I did have my gallbladder removed and was in for 5 days and two surgeries intead of the customary couple hours because something did get in my liver during the operation (had jaundice for a couple days). In regards to SBHG I read about AVENA (or AVENO) SATIVA and it's apparent ability to reduce SBHG's interference. So far I've used an over-the-counter extract for a week with no real results. Everything I read always suggests low testosterone, but I've just had that checked and I'm apparently producing it fine. I'm a little worried about this SBHG and what else might be keepin' me (and my unit) down. |

I have exactly the same issue with regards to libido and have had since I was younger than you. Never had a wet dream inmy life! Been a really challenging thing to have to deal with, you just withdraw fom relationships all together and an entire part of your sexual personality remains dormant; if that makes much sense. Libido is a key driving force/motivator in a man's life, remove it and we are but skeletons of our former selves. There is clearly a reason why this is occuring to you and I, but goodness knows why. I am hairy, produce extremely elevated levels of DHEA (10 times + max USA acceptable levels) which Endocrinoligists in Australia believed may be doing me harm but weren't really concerned. I was told that my Testosterone levels were on the lowish side but (acceptable) but with my DHEA level being as high as it is, I should in theory be a super sex machine and or high performance athlete, with rapid recovery times post-exercise and sexual intercourse. In fact this is absolutely to the contrary in all regards. I am Australian and not really sure what is available to me in terms of treatment in this regard, but it would be great to feel horny again, it's been a very long time. Any feedback or suggestions would be well appreciated. Tough thing to come forth and acknowledge but Neuroendocrinology is well underated in my book especially when it comes to sex, mood and personality. |
