Loss of Interest in and Ability to Have Sex
Posted: 01-23-06 13:23pm

I have lost all interest in sex and gradually became impotent. The doctor has prescribed all the different drugs which helped for a while. Now nothing works. Is there anything I can do? Do I need to see another type of doctor?

Losing INTEREST in sex (lack of sexual instinct) is different than losing the ABILITY for having sex (impotency). You have lost both interest and ability for sex, making the problem more complex. There could be a medicine for lost ability (Viagra), but I’m not sure that there is some medicine for lost interest. You can proceed by asking help from a psychiatrist or other qualified mental health professional.
