Oh my God, do you think anyone is really going to fess up? 
The only thing that I would think would cause a problem in that department would be a side effect of any given medication.

The libido was high and always has been.
Certain meds F##ked up the fun for a while though.
An interesting note:
Verapamil is being studied as a male contraceptive because it severely effects the mobility of the swimmers.
I wasn't supposed to be able to knock up my wife due to high doses.......guess what??? I got me some super sperm

That is a VERY hard question to answer, for me.
Yes my libido IS lower. My drive is SO not what it used to be.
But why ?? IS it ch ?? The meds I have taken ?? Is it my age ?? Was it due to my denial of my sexuality ??
I don't know the answers here, sorry Tony ...
All I CAN say, is that I DEFINATELY don't have the drive or stamina that I used to have.

Any triptan constricts blood vessels. Like anti-Viagra.
Verapamil lowers blood pressure.

Well, I'll fess up.  Getting hit several times a day, every friggin day, the last thing on my mind (most of the time) is sex. It was worse when I was on all the different meds, but I still haven't recovered to nearly where I was before developing this crap. I suppose it's a blessing in disguise since the better half is starting to go through the change. At least I'm not demanding more than she wants to give and making her feel guilty for something she can't control.

I've had attacks begin during sex several times, which ended that fun. Me and the wife now shy away from sex during cycles. Meds have been a problem too, but we deal with it.
Luckily after 20 years of marriage that's OK. I think?!

A dodgy hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus, amongst many other things, is known to secrete gonadotrophin releasing-hormone, which may be responsible for the absence of libido in some sufferers.
Here's a good summary for the biologic basis of libido:

If that doesn't float your boat you could always try this. Can't vouch for for it of course – just found it whilst surfing

In cycle, I'm not, um, sensual at all. Outside of cycle, only about 3-4 days out of the month am I extremely frisky.
Wish my libido was higher for hubby's sake.

How kool of everyone to be so candid. It''s neat to know people like yourselves have similar problems and reactions. The verapamil post hits home over here. That may explain a few things for us.

Cycle or no cycle, whenever I try it on she gets a headache. Perhaps I'm contagious.

Heh heh... if I feel one coming on I can finish it out in 30 seconds if need be.
Pretty much what Gator & Sean & everyone said... when in cycle getting some trim is about the last thing on my mind.
Outside of cycle I am pretty normal... walking horny. If I can catch her I am gonna tap it.

Honestly, my libido has been decreasing since I was 21. How sad is that. Dr tried switching my BC pills around thinking it was related to that. And every year the undiagnosed CH got worse, and so did I. It is a miracle we have two kids! And now with two little boys in the house, even now that I am doing great CH wise, the fibro knocks me on my butt. Now my poor hubby is so used to not getting it, even when I am in the mood, we don't tend to sync?
I keep trying to tell myself that the more you use it, the better it works!
PFDAN!

Hi all,
I am 37, male. I have always had a very strong labido. Never did peak out. When I have bad hits I am in too much pain during and too tired after to be interested in sex then. The rest of the time I am interested almost daily, and sometimes twice a day even though I have eternal shadows. When I am taking the meds though I have found erections difficult though the drive is still there. I have even wondered if screwed up chemistry is why my drive is so high...who knows. Good luck.
Tony
