Welcome to the fuck buddy website, the place where we help like-minded individuals meet other people on the adult dating circuit for some no harm fun. Last article we spoke about triggers to a low sex drive. Having a high sex drive is important when adult dating. The main reason that people are getting together is for the sex. If the sex is not happening then the other person is not going to hang around for that much time! Some people suffer from a low sex drive and this can be caused by many things. Some of those things can be physical, which we spoke about in our article on physical triggers to a low sex drive. In this article, we are going to talk about the psychological issues that can reduce your sex drive. The same as last time, we would advise that if you or your fuck buddy are experiencing any of these, we would highly recommend that you talk to your sex partner about it. In this case, psychological issues are often harder to talk about than physical issues, so approach it softly and gently, and we advise a high level of sensitivity here. That said, here are our triggers to a low sex drive as driven by issues of the mind.

Anxiety or depression

These are strong suppressors of sexual desire. Being stressed in bed can make it hard to orgasm. Being anxious can prevent an ability to even make it to the bedroom in the first place. Depression can be equally devastating on someone’s desire to have sex. This can affect anyone. Someone who was previously perfectly healthy and great in bed, could find themselves suffering from a bout of depression or anxiety which really reduces their ability to function in all areas of life. This can effect their work, their friendships, and it certainly affects their desire for sex. If you or your fuck buddy are suffering from either of these, we would advise seeking professional help.

Stress

Stress is a sex killer. If you are stressed out, you may find you just don’t want to have sex. The desire can completely dissipate. If this is happening, rather than forcing the sex, we suggest addressing the cause of the stress first, Once steps have been taken to solve that, the desire to have sex will come back again.

Low self-esteem

Having low self-esteem will reduce the desire for sex. This can often, but not always, be linked to having a poor body image. Ironically, having sex with a fuck buddy can sometimes be a healthy source of evidence as to why the person suffering from these issues is wrong! Someone sleeping with you can be a clear indication that you do have a great body and that you have reasons to be more confident. If you or your fuck buddy are having these issues, speaking to each other about it can be both a source of comfort and a source of solution. We highly recommend it.

We all have different times in our lives when we experience either a lower or higher sex drive. For nearly all of us, the seasons can change this. We all are driven more in the spring and the summer to have sex than in the autumn and winter. This is why it is particularly easy to find a fuck buddy in the spring and summer months. We usually have more people sign up to the website and we also see a large number of successes. That is not to say you cannot find someone outside of these months of course! It is simply that as a general, the population’s sex drive is higher at certain times of the year. There are of course other triggers to a low sex drive. In this article, we are going to focus on the physical reasons that may cause a low sex drive in you or your fuck buddy. If you think you, or your friend with benefits, is experiencing any of these, we would highly recommend you address the issue. It will benefit both of you in the long term.

Alcohol

Whilst drinking one glass of wine, beer, or another small amount of alcohol can put you in the mood, drinking too much can have a very real impact on your sex drive. Alcohol is a well known depressant, and as per its name it does, indeed, depress the desire for sex over time. In the moment if you are a man, it can also reduce the ability to have sex, so that is also something to be aware of! If you find you or your fuck buddy are drinking a lot and regularly, you may want to consider cutting down.

Surgery

If you have had any kind of surgery or medical operations, this can affect your sex drive. Even something that is considered a “minor” operation by modern standards can have an effect on your drive and desire for sex. So if you or your fuck buddy have had some kind of surgery recently, consider giving it a little time before firing back up to full sexual steam. A dip in desire may be caused by that, and nothing more.

Fatigue

A lack of sleep and tiredness can be a strong contributor to a low sex drive. This can be caused by working long hours, dealing with stressful home or family issues, or insomnia or other causes of fatigue and tiredness. If you or your fuck buddy are experiencing this, then you need to solve the tiredness before you try and solve the sex issue. You can’t do the latter without dealing with the former.

So, there are my physical reasons. In the next article we are going to pick up on other causes of a low sex drive.
