Im 24, had a very high libido in last years. I had a bad relationship in last 8 months, I went out of it slightly depressed. My libido was lowered in second half of relationship. Now it varies from day to day, usually its very low. I feel very tired, sleepy. I have lost my morning erections too during that relationship. My questions are these:
Can it be due to lowered testosterone level? (I read that test. peaks at 20-22)
Has any of you ever been through this?
Have you felt your sex drive has lowered after you have reached your peak?
My main concern is loss of morning erections... There might be something physically, and that drives me wild...
thanks
We all have differing levels of testosterone, libido, and endurance. I would think that we would know that because we personally, in our perspective ages, show no signs of decrease in sexual function that someone younger than us couldn't experience this issue for whatever reason. That being said, regardless of how old or young a man is who still maintains a relatively high libido and obtains rock hard erections, you can still have issues yourself.
Stress and depression could certainly play a part in a man's decreasing sexual desire. Also, as others have mentioned, drinking and smoking can also limit your ability to obtain and maintain those rock hard erections from your younger days.
IF you are able to remove these factors; depression, stress, excessive alcohol intake and smoking, and you still find you are not able to obtain and maintain a firm erection or your libido is waning, a trip to your doctor could help find other potential causes to your issue.
Morning erections do not quantify your ability to obtain an erection. As someone else stated, you are probably getting erections throughout the night - just not early in the morning. I would not worry too much about this problem.
At 24, you shouldn't be experiencing any of this, although it can happen. At your age, I would suspect stress and depression being your biggest offenders of your waning libido.
