Why is this restricted to men having low libido levels? Women have the same problem.

There have been plenty of threads about low sex drive in women. In those, the assertion is often made that this is an exclusive problem for women. I've argued it isn't, but men don't want to admit it.

Low sex drive among men is a taboo subject among men.

Duh! It is the UNUSUAL that gets our attention.

Ah, but if women don't want sex and men do, we're being "insensitive pricks who only view women as sexual objects". If women want sex and we don't, we're being "insensitive pricks who ignore our partners sexual needs". We're men, so it's our fault :-)

But to toss my two pence in here: After the birth of my first child, my wife put on 75 pounds and went on a two year nag fest. When our sex life dropped to once every six months, she started whining that I was "ignoring her needs". I responded that I'm an old fashioned conservative kind of guy...I'm only interested in having sex with my loving, affectionate wife. After bawling for a few hours, she admitted that she'd been a b*t*h and promised to change. She dropped about 50 pounds, knocked off the nagging, and basically started acting like she cared again. Problem solved...our relationship (and sex life) is stronger today than at any other point in our 11 year marriage.

If there's one message every woman should teach her daughter, it's this: Nothing kills a man's affection faster than nagging. Our mothers nagged us, and when you nag us you remind us of dear old mom. While men love their mothers, we aren't interested in being romantic with them.

I've never heard of a guy having low sex drive. My wife, and the wives of many of my friends, however.....
