Prolonged water fast effect on libido?

Hi,

I am currently planning on embarking on what I hope to be a 20+ day water fast for weight loss and overall a betterment of my mind. I am a 19 year old male with a high libido and a girlfriend and was wondering how a prolonged water fast would effect my sex drive. Does it go up? Down? Also, after the fast breaks, how quickly does the libido return? I guess I just dont want to mess with my body’s normal hormones, as sex is something I enjoy.

Answer

I have a high libido, fasting makes it even higher for me.

Had to look into “keto high” and it basically describes me.

Everyone is different, and while I’m only on day 3, it’s actually dangerous (for me) to do anything about it, I don’t want to waste my day away ! So the energy just keeps going up.

Answer

It fluctuates, you’ll most definitely experience a bit of an upswing but ultimately low energy levels will slow you down if you plan on going for that long. Everyone’s different but that’s what I would expect to happen. After the fast though! Noticeably more stamina among other things should arise, pun intended.
