Sexual concerns...

Ok im getting seriously worried. Im a 19 year old guy and for the past few months I have lost interest in sex entirely. I never feel 'urges' and when I masturbate (which isnt often) barely any 'stuff' comes out :eek:

DO you think there could be a blockage or somethin!? Im seriously worried but could never go to the doctors its just too embarassing
I dont think I can help, im 17 and in the completely opposite situation...



and go see the doctor, it wont be embarrasing seeing as they probably spend half their lives with their hands on peoples prostates

drink a lot of water

or wait, maybe you've run out of sperm? :eek: i've heard that you're born with ALL the sperm you could ever have .... and if you run out, that's it, u cant reproduce sperm... in that case you should go shoot yourself

Which biology book is that? It's wrong, whatever it is.

reader confusion about precursor cells (pah..i can't remember the exact details of spermiogenesis! :wink: ) & actual sperm perhaps?

You're not going to run out of sperm :smile: . As far as I'm aware its constantly being produced, even if you're not ejaculating, as it doesn't have too long a shelf-life.

That you, or your biology book are wrong - sperm are not something you 'run out of'. :smile:

That said - reproductive systems seem pretty complex. To the OP, you said you'd "recently lost interest", so is the sperm situation a recent change? If so, would definitely recommend going to see your Dr.
Or maybe a sexual health clinic if you're too embarassed to see your own GP? You can quite often not give you real name at them & I don't think yours will be the first they've seen.. (!) :wink:

That guys have an infinite amount of sperm, so that isn't the problem.

To the OP... If you're not concerned enough to go to the doctor, then chances are there isn't anything wrong and you're just not overly horny right now.

It could be a deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals. Zinc is certainly important for that kind of thing. There are certain things that can lower testosterone levels as well. That would have an effect. Do you exercise a lot?

Go see a doctor though. He could give you a blood test and see if there is anything amiss. Doctors see MUCH worse than this. Dont worry about it.

Do you use things such as extasy? That reduces sex drive...
Also, diet and stuff affects it too...

The gist of the matter: Guys dont run out of sperm...barring weird medical situations.

Thanks for the 0 value neg rep, really hurt, that one did.

Anon 2 is right though, you and/or your biology book are either wrong or have interpreted it wrong.

Get a job, get a hobby, have a life, and then see if it comes back. It worked for me!
