Have your sex drive returned?

Hey everyone...I don't want to sound crazy. But I wake up every morning to a pain I have been missing for a long time. Let me give you a hint--I am a Man. I am feeling many days like I was at 35 to 40. I just made fifty (50) and all I think of is sex. Sounds crazy--because my Doctor told me...Your sex drive is not going to return. You will just lose the weight and that's it. After almost 40 pounds--it's feeling strange each night and many mornings waking up with a stiff one. I thought I was done when I got up to 273 pounds. I felt miserable and with a low sex drive. Mind you--I don't have a GF--but with some of the things I have been thinking--I am going to get back in the swing of things--really soon. Sonebody has been lying to me---maybe I am imagining this--you think?? Tell me--Ladies and Men--are getting a certain feeling as the weight drops??:cry:clap2:

Nope. My libido disappeared with my first baby and never returned. Oh, we do it often enough and its good but do I ever actually feel in the mood? No.

Maybe if I werent constantly cleaning up, thinking about meals, shopping for food, trying to fit in work, study, playing taxidriver to 3 kids, doing the rounds of basketball, school, kinder, footy, parties, friends, maybe if we didnt have an extra or two sleeping over every weekend, if I didnt expend all my energy running and working out, if I didnt have to paint the whole fricking house on my own, if my husband ever got home from work before 7.30 pm, etc etc etc, I might JUST have time to actually think about sex. As it is I'm a run of my feet mother of three, there's not much time for anything else. It was hard enough clawing back the me time to put into my own weight loss journey. Sex is very low on the agenda, sometimes Doug has to wake me up when its over, lol.

Medically speaking. When anyone is over weight more than 100 lbs. They produce more Estrogen from the fat cells.

So....with a male ..that's usually a decrease. Of course with the weight dropping the self-esteem sky rockets.

Enjoy!

Mine deffinitly came back. I had lost it after having my 2 boys. And getting to 300 pounds really didnt help. Now I am always in the mood. Well when my kids are not jumping all over us. But I am always the one saying hey lets go to the bedroom for a minute. My husband is very happy with this. So for me it is a big YES! My sex drive came back.
