I’m a 25 year old male who has never had issues with libido. It’s always been high.
I’ve been doing 16/8 intermittent fasting for about 13 days now and have been focusing on eating a bit more healthy. My libido is through the roof. Every single day.
I honestly feel like it’s too high as I’m wanting to go all day long and can’t get anything done, haha.
I drink a good bit of water, electrolytes, black coffee, and sparkling water during my fasting window.
Could it be that I’m properly hydrated with electrolytes and it’s maybe helped balance my hormones or something? I mean, I’m not complaining at all but this could be a solution for men with low libido/ED.
I will say I’ve been incorporating about 3-6 eggs per day and definitely getting more healthy fats in. I’ve read that fat helps with libido greatly, so that could be it.
You’re 25. That’s the way she goes bud. Wrap it and be good to people. Remember its ok to be selfish at this age as long as you properly communicate your intentions. Just my unasked for 2c from a now 30 y/o past slut.
I’m 35 and I’ve woken up with a morning friend every single day since I started doing IF 60 days ago. It’s never been a problem and obviously it was happening normally but never this consistent. I’ve also been in a moderate calorie deficit for those 60 days and that hasn’t stopped it either.
What was your diet like before you started? Were you drinking alcohol and cut that out?
One of the hardest things for me to face after I made all my changes was that I wasn’t really in as good shape in my 20s as I thought I was. Sure I was in decent shape but at the time I was largely eating whatever I wanted and in whatever amounts I wanted. I realize now how bad my diet really was and it really was my youth that kept things together rather than the exercise. Really, I was working against myself all the time doing that. I saw how everything started to fall apart after 35 when I didn’t fix those things. And when I did much of those things came back. I am 47 now and the difference is massive to even 4 years ago. Everything, and I mean everything, is better. So you are not alone. I can only imagine what I would have felt like doing this at 25. I said to my wife last night that most days I feel better, and stronger, than I have in 20 years. Let’s just say she is also pretty happy about it.
From everything I know about erectile dysfunction much of that is either psychological or health related. So a middle-aged guy who has gained a bunch of weight might not feel all that great about himself. Much of this is just the drinking you are doing or the weight you have put on. I found out when you get that sorted many of those issues disappeared.
