The depiction that men love sex can be fairly accurate - guys are portrayed as sex maniacs who will stop at nothing to get laid. The truth may be a little less exaggerated, but that stereotype makes it difficult for men with low libidos. So what should you do if your man doesn't want to have sex regularly? First, rule out any physiological problems or medications. Antidepressants may lift his spirits, but they also dampen sex drive. The same goes for cardiovascular disease, which can have an effect on libido. A drop in the hormone testosterone could be the culprit. But before jumping to conclusions, your man should have a doctor check him out thoroughly. From there, if there are no physical problems, take a look at your man's personal and professional life. Has he experienced any life-changing events, like the death of a close relative, the birth of a child, or changing or losing a job? If so, then therapy might help him work through the issues that are keeping his sex drive in low gear.
