Can men also be frigid? Factors that cause male frigidity

According to experts, about 20% of men in the world suffer from sexual indifference, so the popular saying that "men will not be sexually indifferent" has no scientific basis. But everyone must understand that sexual indifference does not mean no sexual desire. So, what are the causes of sexual indifference?

1. Emotional factors

Sexual life should be conducted in a state of happiness and joy. Long-term psychological disorders and the influence of many negative factors can lead to a decrease in sexual desire. For example, if you feel guilty about your past masturbation history, or are pessimistic and disappointed about life, or if you are depressed and feel sad because of career setbacks, interpersonal relationship tensions, or family misfortunes, all of these can lead to a decrease in sexual desire. Secondly, long-term heavy labor, especially mental labor, can also lead to a decrease in sexual desire.

2. Disease factors

Suffering from urogenital diseases, discomfort during sexual intercourse, thus inhibiting sexual desire, such as chronic prostatitis, epididymitis, urethritis, etc. Other diseases such as endocrine diseases and various systemic chronic diseases can also affect sexual desire due to insufficient secretion of male hormones or metabolic disorders.

3. Drug factors

Long-term use of certain drugs can also cause low libido. Common ones include sedatives and sleeping pills such as amine, chlordiazepoxide, barbiturates, and methaqualone; antihistamines such as diphenhydramine and promethazine; anti-gastric spasm drugs such as atropine, probenfen, and 654-2; drugs for treating gastric and duodenal ulcers such as cimetidine; and antihypertensive drugs such as reserpine.

4. Bad habits

Chronic alcohol poisoning caused by long-term alcohol addiction, chronic nicotine poisoning caused by long-term heavy smoking, and drug abuse (marijuana leaves, opium, heroin, etc.) can also cause a decrease in sexual desire.
