Married to low testosterone


by: ni on Mon, Apr 21 2008

In our community, we have arranged marriages. My husband has low testosterone and it was extremely hard for me to have such an asexual lover on our honeymoon. He is an amazingly nice person, but even after a few years it is still hard for me as a wife not to be desired. We have sex sporadically, when he is ‘in the mood’, and since he is a puritan, I feel like a whore for even talking to him about this.

I am happy and fulfilled otherwise, and try as much as possible not to think of my disappointment, especially since I spent so much of my single life waiting for the right guy. My husband also has anxiety disorder, and low energy levels. I love him very much and I feel sorry that he cannot do all the things he wants. We haven’t gotten treatment yet coz my hubby is in denial.
