Psychological Problems Related to Men with no Sex Drive

What are the psychological causes in men who don't want to make love?
Answer:
When talking about the psychological causes of not wanting sex, we refer to those thoughts, feelings or emotions that reduce the interest in sex. Because of fear and anger, sexual desire can disappear in certain situations. This may have several causes e.g fear of performance, fear of intimacy, fear of excitement, dissatisfaction with one's own body or suppression of events from childhood. Traumatic experiences can have a lot of influence on sexual desire. Sad experiences that haven't been dealt with, like the loss of a partner, nagging and conflicts in relationships can influence sexual desire negatively. Relational problems are often a cause. For all sorts of reasons, partners may become physically and personally less attractive to each other. Differences in sexual needs and the refusal of partners to respond to advances can lead to doubts about the self-image of the man, the woman or the self-image as the beloved partner.
Certain irrational thoughts, like refusing to have sex is the same as admitting an affair, can lead to a great disappointment or anger. A reduced interest in sex is also a frequent symptom of various psychiatric syndromes. The most frequent syndrome is depression.

Men and women experience sexual desire in a different way. Women see love, emotional intimacy and involvement as a goal, while men see sexual activity as the goal. Other factors can also negatively influence desire e.g psychological problems of the partner, stress and/ or relational problems. In the first meetings a sexologist will ask about these possible causes, so that your condition may be identified.

  1. This article is interesting. I hear a lot of women talk about men not wanting sex from their significant other. Many women come up with so many different excuses or ideas that could cause the man to not want sex. I find it interesting that researchers have experimented and found many different psychological effects related to the loss of sexual activity with a partner. Now these women have some answers.

  2. Men and women are very different and have different need in the bedroom. Women seem to be more emotionally involved while men seem to go to the sac for other reasons. Some problems that men face are social pressures, comparisons with themselves compared to other men, along with not fulfilling what they think sex should be. I think that it will take a lot of time and research for any true finding to come out about the pressures that men feel in the bedroom.

  3. Men and women defiantly have different needs when it comes to sex in general. This has been from the beginning of time. I personally feel even though scientist have come up with research and I feel that it will be a particular issue that we will never quite have the right answer to.

  5. I don’t see a point in this study. It can be validated if it was male vs females. Males generally don’t have sexual problems. The study should probably be males who lost interest on their partner after seeking other sexual relationships. There are situations in which a man was not involved in sexual relationship because of an experience but it is not relevant to the population in a whole. We even bother to do the study. It does not hold any validity.
