1/6

Here is what you must do

There are several factors that could lead to a man having a low sex drive. It could be issues with personal life or work etc that may be stopping him. But if it is a medical issue, we suggest you make him see a doctor before it gets too late. Besides the medical reason, there are many other reasons and there is a right way to tackle them all. So here are ways how you can deal with a husband who has a low sex drive.

2/6

Address the elephant in the room

No sex will any day lead to frustration and either of the partners will definitely bear the brunt. If no one addresses this without fighting a match then it will worsen the circumstances. So address the issue, ask your partner what their real reason is, why they rarely want to have sex. It could be due to some trauma as well.

3/6

Don't ignore

Do not ignore the situation if the root cause is something very serious and stems from some trauma in the past. If need be try to convince your partner for therapy which he can be discreet about. Be his biggest support and take it very seriously!

4/6

Try positions out of comfort zone

Sometimes, when the sex is mundane, the positions are boring, you must step out of your comfort zone and ask your partner if he likes them. There are times when we ourselves do not know that we like a certain position and when we accidentally or decisively try them, we amaze ourselves.

5/6

Try sex toys

You never know if a butt plug is what he has been missing. Sex can be kinky and there are no rules. It is all about what you decide, what your boundaries are. He may even like a vibrator on his erogenous zones!

6/6

Eliminate work talk

There have been cases where the work stress is so much that sex goes out of the window. The thought of having sex, pleasuring ourselves amid so many deadlines take a toll on the libido. So discuss this out, ask him to chart out sometime for sex and let him know that sex will make him feel good and take away the stress. Many men think clearly after sex too. They do not realise that the frustration penting was clouding their work management too.
