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

Don't worry. I am much older than you and I still get morning erections. Not every day but enough to be pleased about.

Just relax and you will be fine, believe me

I'm not a doctor, but from what I've heard the physical decrease of sexual performance and libido typically comes later. It's a well known fact however that stress, depression etc can (temporarily) affect the libido. From your story, that seems the most plausible explanation?

If you are on antidepressants they can have a very negative effect on getting and maintaining an erection. It can also cause loss of sensation needed to be able to ejaculate. You should be evaluated by a medical profession and don't be embarassed and not go. It's much more needed over embarassment especially if you have something medical going on.

I'm 57 and I still get hard as a rock. My bfs are in their 50s and they can all fuck me to within an inch of my life :)
Libido varies greatly depending on what's going on in your life. All men go through down periods. I can assure that at 24 you have a lot of bone left to bury.

Not a man, but I've handled an erection or two. Besides my boyfriends hated going to the doctor so I'd always make them go and end up having to listen because they wouldn't pay attention.

Inconsistent morning wood isn't anything to get too concerned about. You are probably getting a few erections during the night. Yes, your testosterone is dropping, but only by about 1-2% per year, so it's fairly minimal. See a doctor to make sure everything is alright physically.

If you are on medication, as stephenmass mentioned, that could be affecting you. All will go back to normal once you stop. Even if you're not on medication, you've just been through a bad break up and are probably suffering from mild to moderate depression. Give yourself a break. Grieve the loss of the relationship. It was very tough on you, things went badly and sounds like the sex went badly, too. Talk to someone, get help if you need it - a couple of sessions with a therapist. Take medication if you need to, the side effects will go aways when you stop taking it. Just be good to yourself. The sexy side of you will come back. You have years of rock hard erections to look forward to and plenty of sex to enjoy again. Some morning soon, you'll be stabbing someone in the back with your penis before you know it! Good luck!

My libido crashed a few years ago because of heavy drinking, depression, and smoking. I stopped the two I could and worked on the depression and my libido came back. My libido also seems to be stronger for some periods than other. It's not horrible though. I get get it up to have sex once a day even when it is low, and when it is high several times a day easily. Meanwhile I get a lot of other shit done and can pay attention to more of what life has to offer than I could when I was a constantly boned up teenager. Anyway, who gives a fuck? I'm 29.

I just turned 50 and I have never noticed a decrease in my desire. I still get hard in the night and mornings. I have no problem ejaculating everyday. Could I for four times in a row like I used to, I would like to think so. I think you are just going through a phase after the break up. Don't panic, you will be fine.

Depression can really kill your sex drive, but so can anti depressants. My libido slowed down due to low testosterone. It happened gradually over about 5 years. Low energy, not sleeping well, some weight gain, no morning erections, or erections that weren't really hard enough to use. You're too young for low T to really be a problem, but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.

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.

I will be 80 early in October! Excessive libido was a main concern in my youth. Managing to live a life and have sex all the time IS a SERIOUS problem. Thankfully, libido does diminish somewhat as we age! I reached a point at about age 74 , though , after spinal surgery , where libido dropped to zero. What I did to restore/increase it to normal levels was to begin jelquing! It definitely worked and I am once again bothered with more sex drive than there are available outlets!
Whether this would work for a young man is unknown to me; but , we all have the same plumbing and similar brains and bodies; albeit , a younger man has the advantage of youth;

i haven't said thanks to all of you. So thanks. :) my libido returned, although not in full force. i get morning woods, but only if im awaken by an alarm, so its probably related to REM fazes.
i say, not in full force, because my full force was disturbing, jacking 4-5 times a day, not studying enough, thinking mostly who would i want to fuck etc. its not like that any more. i don't know is it hormone related, or is it due to shift in my brain, which shifted A LOT during that relationship. I most certainly want to believe its not hormone related, because i want to feel sex in full way in years ahead of me. :) like Picasso at 84. :D thanks large penis support groupers. :D

Hey. Good for you man! Yeah, I had a girl I feel so hard for, that when we broke up, I was devasted and could have become a monk. Throttle down on porn and throttle up on exercise. That helped me a ton. I also took more b complex vitamins and ate healthier. Before you know it , you'll be back into an active happy sex life.
