Does anyone have issues with sex drive / libido? I’m 28 and I’ve literally not been horny for 6 years. I had a healthy sex drive before. Me and my partner never have sex and it’s definitely a me problem as I’ve been like this since before we got together. I don’t watch porn anymore but I’m still wanking just out of boredom more than anything. I’ve also tried semen retention for over a month and I still don’t get in the mood. Can anyone relate or have any advice as I feel like I don’t see anyone else having this issue. I’ve also have normal testosterone levels and a healthy diet and lifestyle.

I am experiencing very similar issues and don’t have the answer. Given your age, testosterone levels and general health, this is unlikely to be a physiological issue. More likely cause are psychological factors like performance anxiety, depression or relationship issues. It could potentially also be PIED - see yourbrainonporn for details. The basic idea is that porn tubes mess with your limbic system, which can be fixed by a reboot - a total abstinence from porn (and possibly masturbation for some time), which is supposed to rebalance your brain.

It’s crazy because I don’t suffer with other mental health issues I’m generally quite happy and healthy, it’s the lack of libido that’s making me unhappy!
Thanks, I’ll look into it. Have you found that abstinence has improved your drive? I have tried abstaining before but for no longer than say a month
