Why Am I Not Interested In Sex Anymore (male)?

Do you persistently or recurrently experience deficient (or absent) sexual/erotic thoughts or fantasies and desire for sexual activity?

Have the symptoms persisted for a minimum duration of approximately 6 months?

Do the symptoms cause clinically significant distress?

Based on your answers, it is unlikely that you have a significant problem related to reduced sexual desire. However, you may be displaying a sign related to it. Loss of sex drive is a common problem and can have many causes, including relationship distress, stress, tiredness, and reduced hormone levels. Besides, it can also be attributable to the effects of a substance or medication. Because of a decreased sexual interest, it will cause a failure to initiate or respond to sexual intimacy. In case your lack of desire for sex causes distress or has a negative impact on your relationship, it may be important to seek medical attention. In case you answered ‘no’ to all questions, there is no need for concern.

Based on your answers, you are displaying some signs related to hypoactive sexual desire disorder: a sexual dysfunction in which there is a lack or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. It’s natural to experience changes in sexual desire now and then. But when the lack of sexual interest lasts at least six months and causes impairment in daily functioning, it may be important to talk with your doctor. There are some risk factors that can contribute to development of the disorder, such as relationship issues, erectile dysfunction and a history of emotional/physical abuse. It is recommended to seek medical attention.

Unfortunately, you are displaying the symptoms typically seen among individuals who have male hypoactive sexual desire disorder. It is recommended to seek medical support. Treatment for this type of disorder usually includes psychotherapy and medication. The treatment must be completely individualized, depending on the underlying issues causing the symptoms. There may be couples who need relationship therapy to improve their sexual activity. Also, it may be helpful for couples to make time for nonsexual intimacy, for example reserving time for conversations. Sex is important, and when one of the two partners experiences reduced interest in sex, professional help is needed to save the relationship.
