Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi im not sexually aroused as much as i used to, I dont get random boners anymore and find no one that attractive however when im with my girlfreind i get boners when we do things and have sex regularly . Plus i just went to college but it has not been that bad of an experience. Lately ive also felt a lessening of emotion in a way. As in things are not intense as they used to. This includes love but I m much more uncaring what happens but i do have an odd feeling within my stomach kind of like nervousness i feel like its because i just went up to college and miss my girlfriend. But however i also never got random boners or felt sexually aroused at home until my girlfriend and I started touching each other which i also feel is my problem. I need help with this because it makes me feel bad and this made me see if i was gay, which i am not, completely in no way aroused i love women an i know that for a fact. Please help me.

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Sex drive is a subjective one and there is no objective way to measure sexual desire or pleasure and every man has to define for himself whether her libido is adequate for him or not.
The factors that contribute to each individual sexuality are complex and unique and some of the possible reasons may be Poor diet, lack of exercise, sleep loss, excessive alcohol, stress, depression, low thyroid function and sexual performance anxiety.
As your thyroid function test is with in the normal limit. You may require counselling regarding the sexual life which may help you to over come the problem.
The cause for the loss of libido should be evaluated before initiating any measures to boost up the libido. The hormone testosterone can be used to treat low libido along with the medicine viagra. Thank you.
