do sex drive pills (libido) actually work?

1. Short answer: No. Longer answer: If these worked, you wouldn’t see 50 posts in this sub each day saying “help, my/wife’s/husband’s libido is too low”.

2. Nope, if weed doesn’t do it nothing will.

3. If you want to boost your libido:

   – More water, less sugary drinks

   – More sleep. Shoot for 8 hours

   – Exercise (strength training and stretching)

   – Eat leafy greens and fish

   – De-stress as much as possible

   – Reduce alcohol intake

4. What is the problem? It is an imagined problem for you or is a partner complaining? What are your ages? What is your living situation? Why is low interest in sex a problem?

   The best libido pill is probably therapy. Get a good understanding of yourself, your fantasies and your partner.

   Your therapist might tell you to get a general physical to make sure something medical is not going on.

   For example:

   * Low grade infection in women often make penis-in-vagina sex painful. This means you avoid sex without realizing it.
   * Low grade and un-diagnosed diabedies causes lots of side effects like yeast infections, low libido and personality changes.
   * Hormones are a HUGE issue especially for women or low testosterone for men.

   Most of these can be tested with a basic fasting blood panel.

   Once the medical issues are ruled out – now come the psychological.

   Sometimes we ‘adult’ so hard we dont relax enough to let our naughty inner child out to play (and all your sex drive comes from this inner child).

   Lots of women are slut shamed when they are girls. So much that when you are now an adult trying to have sex as part of a relationship you become a ‘pillow princess’ – lay back and let your partner have his way so you take no shame, no guilt but also no responsibility.

   ​

   There could be a dozen other reasons for low libido. You need an expert to do a holistic view of your physical and emotional make up. Once the problem is identified – then the ‘cure’ may have to be tailored to you.

   The Libido pills are just vitamins and a scam.
