Testosterone Deficiency???
by: C.Baum on Tue, Apr 21 2009

I have been married for 14 yrs.and have thought from the beginning that my husband’s sex drive is not “normal!” In the first 2 yrs of our marraige I actually asked him if he was gay because it seemed like sex was not a priority for him. Like a previous posted message, I too was the initiator of almost all sexual activity. I gave up on this after a few too many painful rejections.

We are currently in counseling and between the counselor and myself trying to figure out why my husband never wants to have sex! We’re quite certain it’s not infidelity or homosexuality. I know my husband has been diagnosed in the past with varicose veins in one testicle and he’s recently been diagnosed w/hypertension.

I’m beginning to wonder if he suffers from a testosterone deficiency and is too embarrassed to admit that he simply isn’t interested in sex period!? The “norm” for us in our sex life, is to go months at a time w/o a single encounter! I don’t know what else to do to correct or improve this issue in our marriage. I think it would be worth having him tested!
