do men who work out have a low sex drive

shorty692003 Posts: 18 Joined: 2004/04/20	2004/06/16, 04:31 PM Do men who work out have a low sex drive...Or is it just my husband. I've been married for almost 3 years and I find my husband has a low sex drive. Am I the only one to find this?

If it bothers you or your needs are not being met, you should talk to him about it. I'm sorry if this is offensive to you, but from you other posts, it seems that your husband puts a great deal of focus on himself and his goals, maybe when he gets out of the mode he will come around. Uhh, no pun intended.:laugh:

shorty692003 Posts: 18 Joined: 2004/04/20	2004/06/17, 11:12 AM I know he is not on the juice....My husband is all natural, he won't even take a advil....He always says that he is tired..He works 12hrs a day and then trains for 3hrs a day. Yesterday we went to the gym together and for the first time is 3 months he worked out with me and tought me some new move. ( Just wanted to tell you that princess ) I do find that he gets really horney after he works his legs. May be he's just tired. I was talking to another friend who's husband is competiting and she say's the same thing. ============ Quoting from princesslodgey: don't think working out does it but maybe if he's on the juice? =============

Workouts over an hour long raise your cortisol levels which counteracts the effects and production of testosterone. see if this helps. -------------- Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. steve

firemansam Posts: 147 Joined: 2004/08/20	2005/02/05, 12:41 AM His testosterone will be lower immediately after exercise but overall testoterone levels will rise with exercise. they are at there highest levels 48 hours after a workout. If the sex drive is really an issue you could talk to your husband about sex therapy or try medication like horny goat weed. It sounds to me though like he is overworked and tired who wouldnt be after a 12 hour day then a 3 hour workout
