Should I Worry If My Guy's Sex Drive Has Taken A Nose Dive?

Contrary to popular belief, men aren’t always the horn-dogs they’re made out to be. In fact, many times just the opposite is true. Consequently there are a lot of things that can negatively affect his sex drive.

The most common being when he is under a lot of stress due to work or other pressures. This is because high levels of cortisol, your body’s stress hormone, lowers testosterone levels. Less testosterone means he has less drive to have sex.

It’s important for you two to figure out whether this is an on-going stress, or if it’s simply a busy period in his life. If the stress isn’t going away, you need to have a heart-to-heart chat about how this is affecting your relationship. Either way do your best to be supportive and help him figure out a way you two can make it through.

At the same time it’s vital for you not to take this personally. Generally women put the blame on themselves when their guy doesn’t want sex. Women think things like, “He doesn’t find me attractive” or, “I must not be very good in bed.” Remember: It’s not you, it’s him and his circumstance.

Sex Tip: Daily affectionate touch is the easiest way to relieve stress and make each other feel relaxed.
