A number of people go off sex for a while, especially during times of stress. Very often, the lack of interest is as much a symptom of depression.
by woggy on October 14th, 2008
Someone already touched on this but I'll repeat it because it's valid:
If a woman (wife) repeatedly denies her husband sex, for whatever reasons (even good reasons), a devoted man will not turn to other women, will not turn to porn or other sensual diversions. He will, however, begin to shut off his own "sex machine" in order to deal with the issue mentally/emotionally.
His fear of further disappointment might make him rather difficult to "jump start" since his celibate relationship was dealt with at a great price.
Also, alot of guys don't like to admit they've lost the ability for sex "anytime, anywhere". This temporary disability usually rears its ugly head for the first time when stress or an unusually heavy workload introduces itself. That usually happens in our forties, when the children that resulted from our earlier sexual successes start driving us crazy.

a loss of interest in the person he's sleeping with maybe? when the sex gets "predictable" and boring perhaps.. I'm trying to figure this one out myself!

Many times focusing on the physical attributes of their partner. It's almost inevitoble that once 2 people get together in a long term comitted relationship they start to let themselves go. They don't take as much of an interest in their physical appearance as they used to and they might put on a considerable amout of weight or might not wash their hair or shower regularly etc and so forth. When it is the woman who does this many times a man becomes disinterested in having physical relations with her because he is turned off by what he sees in front of him.
I am not saying that a man is right in doing this. When you comitt to love someone you are supposed to love them through both the good and bad but some of us men forget that and allow our shallow side take over and thus that is ine explaination of why some men lose interest in sex with their partner.

Stress is often a cause for loss of libido.
by lizizhere on March 13th, 2008
Drinking to much, stress, depression & high blood pressure sometimes effects that part of their sex drive also. But sometimes(not always) they've got interest in an outside source instead of their current housemate.
by B. Krayzee - Dirrty Professor @ Large on March 13th, 2008
When it comes to life situations... spending too much time working will do it. (all work and no play yadda yadda yadda) Having a companion (either gender) that doesnt take care of his or her self (which of course can go either way)
Not speaking from experience... but sometimes religious dedication may cause some to loose interest if that person decides to focus on that...
Mostly I think its when a guy looses interest in his significant other... or.. he could even be cheating.. thats a big signal...
by Waiting for Illumination on January 16th, 2009
Loads of things can affect a man's libido - physical health issues, stress, depression, over-work, fatigue, etc. etc. Family situations can impact his desire and attraction to his wife (that have nothing to do with his wife), body changes in himself or his partner. The list is pretty long, actually.

Depression. Impotency. Can't think of anything else that would make men lose interest in having at least sex with their hand.
by ImNotAnonymous-COAT of Maestro-ness on January 16th, 2009
Depression, stress, prescription medication, drugs, etc. It could be anything.

Drink and Drugs. Many prescription drugs including Blood pressure medication can affect sex drive.
Depression or some other kind of illness.
Possibly another partner somewhere.

Making love. Once you've been inside someone profoundly wonderful, and felt their loving warmth envelop you, plain old "sex" will never really excite you ever again.

A wife gaining 70lbs after wedding. Though, that does not put me off sex. It puts me off wanting sex with her.

I don't know, I just lose interest without thinking too much about the cause. Either preoccupation with other tasks, stress or something of the like would be my guess.
by with my love on September 21st, 2008
i think it depend on saying no from your partner if always saying no for many reasons ( tired , dont like today ) what ever was the reason is
that makes you dont ask again dont do it again
by wheeliebin on September 20th, 2008
I'd guess one of two thing's, either too much sex, or age related loss of libido. Of course there could be other factors involved, such as a medical condition that could cause a man to loose his sex drive. Have a great day.

lack of interest in sex (thats my reason i just don't give a damn about sex never did it)
by alfugazi on August 29th, 2008
perhaps it might be due in part to familiarity with the other partner. It's like two magicians trying to show each other the same tricks. Keeping it interesting and an open line of communication with your partner/spouse/GF/BF whatever about what it is you/they like. It doesnt matter if the woman he's dating is a supermodel. Eventually the sex turns stale. It's how you keep it interesting with that other participant that keeps things spicy. Ladies dont be afraid to drop the role as wife or mom or whatever. When you are having sex with your man make love like it's the first time. gentleman, this also goes for you to. Drop the office or the kids screaming at you and take time for your woman. Dont ever take them for granted and be sure to never miss a day without saying I love you to your woman. Hope this helps.

by Shezy on April 4th, 2009
this question sucks! well there could be many reasons.especial reason is when he is having all the time.

Our bitchy behavior can make a man not want to have sex with us because we stress them out leaving them devoid of any energy or desire to have sex with us.
That is why we need to stop thinking the worst about things with our men and go workout or listen to some relaxation tapes or uplifting music to get our minds off whatever it is that is bugging us about whatever our guys are doing or saying to upset us. Most of the time, they don't realize that they upset us or we are just overreacting over something.
I am in a long-distance relationship with a guy who didn't apologize for having me wait about a half-hour for him to call me back. It was just after 1am my time when he got a call from his son who he is very close to. I understood that he needed to talk to his son but 20 minutes go by and I am getting over-tired and bitchy because I feel like he doesn't care about me so I call him and he just says hi not I am sorry babe I had to do this that and this other thing after getting off the phone with my son. I had to ask him if he was talking to his son the whole time and what he had to do once he told me that he didn't talk to his son the whole time. I just felt like he didn't care that it was almost 1:30am my time during the week and my father might hear me on the phone.
I think maybe I overreacted because he hung up on me for saying that he didn't care that it was almost 1:30am my time.
I haven't heard from him since but I know that we were going to have phone sex had I not said anything and just dealt with the situation with an open-mind thinking that no he isn't cheating on me and that he really had to check the garage and around the house to make sure everything was ok because his daughter is temporarily living with him after having a disagreement with her mother and he just wants to make sure she is going to be safe when she got home from going out with her boyfriend.
I overreact a lot and have been that way for years -- longer than I have been with him. I need to stop allowing my mind to think the worst about things and start working out and listening to both relaxing tapes and uplifting music in order to have a great relationship both physically and emotionally.

it could be stress. Stress can do a lot of things. Could be that you are tired. Try some romance and see if that works.
by Capital J on January 18th, 2009
nothing makes me lose interest. however the biggest turn off is when a woman is boring in bed
by John John on January 18th, 2009
Time. Men lose attraction to women when they are together for years. I know woman dont wanna hear that, but its true.
Show me a beautiful woman and I'll show you a man who's tired of f*ckin her.

by Sunshine1 on November 21st, 2008
if she starts relying on his compliments for her self esteem.. i would think.
Or nagging, would probably turn him off more than anything.... though, saying that, i'm sure there could be room for hard fast sex lol
by huhwhat on October 14th, 2008
basically he's not happy, I know it sounds like an oversimplifaction but it kind of is, but kind of isn't. If he isn't attracted to you he's not happy, if he's depressed then obviously he wouldnt be happy, I think if you find out what it is thats on his mind you will find the problem

Probably the same thing that makes a woman lose interest, hormones. If it is a problem, seek professional advice. If not, forget it.
