General

Does anyone feel like GW has lowered their sex drive? I feel like mine is non existent and I don’t know how to get it back. Any suggestions? I’ve tried maca root and no help.

What is GW?

That said, you should see a doctor. Erectile dysfunction is a sign of deeper issues like mental health, hormone imbalances, or cardio vascular issues.

I meant weight gain. But I’m a female so no ED here lol

Apologies. Still need to see a doctor for all the same reasons. Your plumbing might be different, but the effects are the same.

Yes, gaining weight runs the risk of having a low libido, but it doesn't have to.

I’ve gone to the doctor about it and they said to do exercise but that’s completely the opposite of what I want lol not sure how to approach it now. They don’t want to do anything about it unless I lose weight, so I’ve kinda lost hope for me

Did you know that you can exercise and still get fatter? Lotta people on here do that very thing. Plus, it boosts your libido.

Yeah I know, but by exercising they mean they want me to loose weight. They’ve said that I should exercise to lose about 40 pounds.

I'm curious. Do you exercise or eat at least a fairly balanced diet? Fruits, veggies, protein, and all that other good stuff?

I've noticed that those who don't do that can see their energy and sex drive plummet no matter their size.

It often is. The weight in and of itself doesn't effect libido. But it can coexist with other issues - specifically the ones I mentioned in my initial post.

Generally speaking:

Inactivity lowers libido. Metabolic syndrome lowers libido. Poor diet lowers libido.

If you want your libido back, number one thing to try is regular exercise. Especially high-intensity exercise.
