Sex drive boosters for men

Disclaimer: This self-check questionnaire is for educational purposes only. It does not diagnose any condition or replace professional care. If your answers raise concerns or symptoms persist, consider seeing a qualified healthcare professional.

Questionnaire

Use this checklist to reflect on factors that commonly influence male libido. Answer honestly based on the last 3–6 months.

• Have you noticed a reduced interest in sexual activity compared with your usual level?
• Has the change in sex drive lasted longer than four weeks?
• Do you feel fatigued or low in energy most days?
• Are you experiencing increased stress, anxiety, or low mood?
• Has your sleep quality or duration worsened?
• Have you gained or lost significant weight recently?
• Do you exercise less than 150 minutes per week?
• Do you drink alcohol frequently or use recreational drugs?
• Are you taking medications that list sexual side effects?
• Have you noticed changes in morning erections or arousal?
• Do relationship conflicts or communication issues affect intimacy?
• Have you been diagnosed with a chronic condition (e.g., diabetes, heart disease)?
• Do you feel less confident about your sexual performance?
• Have you experienced pain, discomfort, or hormonal concerns?
• Do specific triggers (work pressure, illness, travel) worsen the issue?

How to interpret answers

Count how many items you answered “yes” to and consider their impact:

• Low reason to seek help: 0–3 items, mild or short-lived changes. Lifestyle tuning and monitoring may be enough.
• Medium reason to seek help: 4–7 items or symptoms lasting over a month. A discussion with a clinician could be useful.
• High reason to seek help: 8+ items, worsening symptoms, or distress affecting quality of life. Seek professional advice sooner.

These levels are not diagnoses; they help prioritize next steps.

Next steps: what to do

1. Self-monitor: Track libido, energy, sleep, and mood weekly.
2. Record triggers: Note stressors, alcohol intake, illness, or travel.
3. Review lifestyle: Aim for regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and consistent sleep.
4. Check medications: List prescriptions and supplements you take.
5. Choose a specialist: Start with a primary care doctor; they may refer to urology, endocrinology, or mental health.
6. Prepare questions: Ask about possible causes, tests, and evidence-based options.
7. Follow up: Reassess after any changes or recommendations.

Situation	Urgency	Action
Mild, short-term dip in libido	Low	Monitor; adjust sleep, exercise, stress
Persistent low desire with fatigue	Medium	Book a routine medical visit
Sudden change with distress or pain	High	Seek medical advice promptly
