SUBSCRIBEI’m Dating Again but My Sex Drive is Gone… Do I Stand a Chance?
Pages: 1 2
Is your low sex drive causing you problems with your partner? Does she think you don’t love her anymore?
Maybe you’ve even stayed single because of it. So how can you find someone who will understand and love you for who you are?
And is there a way to increase sex drive?
The Question
I am 45, male, single and haven’t had a girlfriend for a few years. I somehow can’t see that as an option anymore, which makes me quite sad, as I do meet women I really like and vice versa.
The thing is that I physically don’t have much of a libido anymore and I usually get ill after any sexual activity. Although my health is not too bad in general and I feel quite young, the sexual side of me seems to have come to an end. When I was younger, sexuality was a strong urge but not so, any more.
So my question is: How can I relate to women who have some romantic idea about me and who I do like a lot. Is there such a thing as a loving relationship without sex? I’d love to see a poll result, as I feel like a total outsider.
I guess if someone has been married for a long time, this would be seen as boredom with each other. Or the focus would have shifted to something else, eg. raising kids, etc. So that would be quite normal, I guess. But how do singles feel about that, I wonder?
The Answer
A close, loving, but non-sexual relationship is definitely possible.
I firmly believe there truly is someone for everyone. More than that, there are many people for everyone, and you’ll always find the right person when you’re truly ready for that person to enter your life.
Just like there are people out there who can’t stand coffee and others who don’t drink any alcohol, there are certainly those who wish for a happy relationship but for whatever reason aren’t interested in sex.
Could one of the women that you meet in your everyday life be the one? No telling, but it never hurts to try. Just be open to the possibility of finding just the right person for you, and you may be surprised. Of course, focus on your strengths and what you have to offer her, not on the sexual issue.
How can you find someone with very specific sexual needs?
The low sex drive issue could be a challenge and may require a broader search.
Well, this is where online dating can be a really big help. In a very clinical way, think of it as catalog shopping for people online. You get to specify all the specific criteria that’s important to you, and hopefully the online dating website matches you with someone that fits you. Of course it’s not exactly that basic, but in summary that really is how it works… Continued on next page >>

I wouldn’t feel ashamed over a low libido or stop dating either! It really bothered me after my wife pased away and for three years I lost all interest in sex. But I found out there is lots you can do without resorting to drugs which only complicate the situation. My doctor recommended Scentuelle, a new aromachology product that uses our sense of smell to enhance behavior. While I was skeptical at first, I’ve found the small patch to be a great booster of my confidence and awareness of my sexuality. And unlike drugs, I’ve had no ill affects. Best of all, I’ve started having sex again with a lovely partner who encouraged me to ’smell the patch’.
I think we should accept and respect ourself with any level of “sex drive”, and not to try to change that. After all, not all people are “sex bombs”, but that doesn’t prevent them from having beautiful relationships. The trick in here is to find a right partner!
