Does High Blood Pressure, Obesity Cause Trouble With Low Libido?
Hi I am a 19 year old male who weighs 260 lbs and is 6 foot 2. I am having trouble with low libido, sex drive, which is unusual for my age. I am attracted to woman visually but I do not get excited. I believe it may be psychological because I used go get aroused easily, now even with physical contact I don't usually, but I find that if I'm in a "good mood" I can sometimes. I always enjoy what I see/feel but the actual excitement does not occur. Medical history: Aspergers syndrome, obesity, and now high blood pressure.

Hi,
You are right high blood pressure especially obesity causes decreased libido. Please excercise and follow low calorie diet and reduce your weight. You will see the difference.
