Is it normal for a 28 year-old man to have a low sex drive?!
Question: Is it normal for a 28 year-old man to have a low sex drive.?
When I was 19, I wanted to screw anything that walked, but now I'm losing it.. I know that men's sex drives supposedly peak at 18 and then go down from there, so I wonder if this is age-related..
I don't have any other physical conditions (such as diabetes or whatever) and I'm not using any medications..
But, I haven't had any sexual intercourse for more than two years.. And even before that, I was hardly ever sexually active.. (I have bipolar disorder so I can usually never get any dates).. Doing things like watching pornography used to be fun when I was like 16, but I don't bother with it anymore..
So, maybe this is all only psychological..
*BTW, for those of you who are going to try and suggest that the bipolar disorder is a cop-out and not a good excuse for not getting a date, I'd suggest you try and know more about the condition before making such a presumption..Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Sounds like your bipolar disorder has become depression.. Even folks with bipolar disorder experience "upswings" in their mood as the third responder indicated.. I don't think it's physical, and getting your testosterone levels checked would most likely indicate everything's normal..

i would have your testosterone levels checked out by a doc.. also could be depression.. although if you have bipolar i though people become super horny during their mania phase.. probably psychological.. could be boredom, stress, or maybe you just need some stimulation from a girlfriend or masturbation partner.. maybe even talking with a sex therapist could help clarify the root cause..Health Question & Answer
I would guess that 1) your age may somehow correlate but 2) I would guess the medication you take for your bipolar disorder has a negative side effect which is very common with psychotropic medications.. Ask your doctor..Health Question & Answer
It might be lack of testosterone,caused by being overweight,alcohol drinking and sedentary life..Health Question & Answer
the fact that you havent done it in so long might also be a contributor, not having sex can lower your sex drive- porno gets old after a whileHealth Question & Answer
You are correct in saying that with age most mens sex drives decrease, but it seems like you have lost it all together.. which is possible, but not common.. I definetly think your bipolar disorder may be taking part in this.. As you probably know bipolar disorder can cause mood swings, which may also influence your sex drive.. also if you are taking medication for your disorder then that may also take part in this.. either way go to a doctor because if you can do n e thing about this then you should.. good luckHealth Question & Answer
