Psychosexual Dysfunction Treatment:

Experts are claiming that stress can be the main cause in relation to the lack of sexual drive in men. Depression and the inability to talk about their problems are also a high factor to consider.

Relationship counsellors have reported a whopping 40 % increase in the number of men with low libido’s, stating that, despite being physically able to have sex, they don’t have any interest.

What we seem to have, is a lot of men who are saying: “I can have sex, but I don’t want to. It’s not rewarding”.

Such complaints were unheard of ten years ago. They tend to be men in their thirties, forties and fifties and married.

One of the explanations is that men are less able to talk about their problems than women, or express their emotions.  Men are most likely to suffer depression between the ages of 30 and 50. Another explanation could be that our work culture has gone from nine to five, to extremely long hours, which makes for a very stressful life.

It is a serious issue and it counts as a psychosexual dysfunction, rather than just a relationship problem, because these men haven’t simply gone off their partner but they have off sex altogether.
