  Yeah illness with do that to you. Exercise is the answer. It stimulates circulation (obviously) but also induces higher levels of testosterone. The dopamines aren't bad for you either... if you feel healthy... you might jsut feel sexy... and then it's a shot leap from there to some kind of sexual stimulus... wham. Mojo retrieved. This one time I thought I'd lost mine... but I found it again in the men's showers at the gym. :)HugsStalky

  No body feels sexy when they have been ill. It takes a while to get completely well again. Good fresh food, plenty of rest and a really good multivitamin which includes trace elements. Your body had drawn on reserves to recouperate and now needs those reserves building up again. It is like everything else...it all takes time.

  I know how you feel, i lost mine awhile ago due to illness and try new things all the time to get back to full steam, my current thing is to take hormones for 4 weeks then have a break,....... Have a chat with your Doctor about it and he/she may suggest something that they feel will work wonders for you ?? I do agree with Stalky though, exercise is going to be your best friend with all this, even small walks down to the corner and back,then build up further and further, i cant wait to be able to do this, i have another op coming up soon which im counting on in a big way to help me get up and running again , cant wait actually chomping at the bit to go walkies again with the dogs lol Good luck with it all and hope you can report back to us all soon that you found your mojo hiding somewhere...

  Excercise worked a treat for me when I had completely lost my libido a year or so back.

  I agree re the exercise. I love all those endorphins that buzz around after a hot and sweaty work out. I'd also recommend not thinking too much about it or over-analysing what's going on. It's most likely directly related to your recent illness and the depletion of vitamins etc in your system. Over analysisng can turn what was a relatively straight forward physical side effect to a much more complicated psychological one. Psychological impotence is harder to fix. Perhaps you and your wife could agree to take a break from sex for a week and spend your time doing other activities (Guitar Hero on the Wii works for me). After a week of not thinking and not trying you may find the desire and the erection just happens. I'd recommend holding off on seeing your doctor for a few more weeks. Those little "magic pills" have their own issues. Hugs and lustful thoughts, Miss Saturn

  Hiya madmax, my Gomez was seriously ill about 6 months ago. He simply had no desire to have sex and my reaction unfortunately at the time was to panic...which just made him feel, in his words "inadequate". And I am so sorry that my reaction made him feel that way. We were both frustrated over the same issue just in different ways. He didn't feel good about himself (not be able to perform) and kind of went into his cave and I became constantly horny. We had many fights with the subject headings of "You're too horny and You're not horny enough". I learned to be patient and trust that the situation wouldn't last forever. I learned that intimacy and touch is a powerful tool for maintaining a relationship. I gave my man time to heal...in his own time. And then we went on holiday....and we both got better

  I tend to find when i am feeling crook I have a higher drive towards sexual activity , either hungover the flu or something that knocked me for three months a few years back ,,,, I still found I wanted more sex ,,,,,,I also found i went down in a heap after and was totaly drained , but still was willing and able.
