Lost? No. Maybe a bit diminished. But still raring to go at a moments notice. 😅😆😁
@A myHIVteam Member - So many things can affect sex drive... medications, general health, depression, relationship changes, HIV infection, etc. I have been affected by all of these at one time or another. I know that under the right circumstances my sex drive will rise to the occasion. Spontaneous arousal becomes more difficult with age and circumstances.
@A myHIVteam Member. As you get older, spontaneous erection not so much. But, if you meet a guy that you find appealing, I think you'll find that your body doesn't let you down. Remember that there are plenty of groovy options regardless of a fickle erection. Manual stimulation can lead to some rockin' orgasms, and you don't have to be young to give them or receive them. Don't fear intimacy. Enjoy it. 🤠
I started having problems years ago so I got tested by an endocrinologist. It resulted in low testosterone so I currently inject twice a month and it has helped immensely.😀😜🤣
@A myHIVteam Member. I get it. Lots of mixed messages and mixed up feelings. I was 24yrs old. I had just come out about a year before, finally okay having sex with men ( more than ok, actually ). Boom HIV infection. I was in a confusing relationship, sexually, involving substances. Then methadone, a sex drive killer. Testosterone low for 15yrs, now supplemented since 2005. Viagra, gives you the ability, but not the urge. Older partner, finding ways to make sex still viable. It's a long and winding road, and I am not finished with it yet. We all have to make our own decisions about what is right for us. Just don't give up on something that you enjoy/ enjoyed, especially not because of HIV.
