Hello all
I'm 33 and an otherwise fit and reasonably healthy guy. I'm not overweight, and am a non-smoker. I know I do drink too much (average 5 units a day I guess). My problem is that over the last 4 months or so, my libido has really declined. I haven't been in a relationship for a long time so I am talking about masturbation I'm afraid. I regularly masturbate (or used to) to internet porn, I used to do it on average at least once a day, and at weekends sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Sometimes I would masturbate simply because it had become a habit, not because I was necessarily feeling that horny. Since about September I've gone through periods where I'm just not interested. If I think thoughts that used to get me horny, nothing happens, or I'll get a slight feeling "down below" which doesn't develop into an erection. If I try to watch internet porn, sometimes I'll get an erection and be able to masturbate, but it takes longer than before. I've left it for a couple of weeks occasionally, and I have then been able to get a decent erection, but a couple of days later the problem returns. I've had my blood tested and my testosterone levels are normal.
Now here's my theory, which I would like people's thoughts on if possible. About the same time as all this started, I started waxing. I'm on the hairy side and have always hated having a hairy back. So in September I began waxing, and have been back on a regular basis since then. My theory is as follows: I have a wax, and suddenly my body needs to start producing hair follicles in a great quantity. What does it need to do this? Testosterone! So my testosterone "supply" is being utilised by my body to produce lots of follicles and hair. Leaving not much left for sexual arousal.
Does this all sound possible or am I totally on the wrong track?
Cheers everyone
John
