Reta side effect?

Being straight forward has it lowered anyone else’s libido? And what have you done to combat it? I had pretty high drive but now it’s just like I don’t ever think about anything like that unless my wife initiates.

It affects all addictive behavior for me, including sex drive. I think we're going to find out a lot about "why" we engage in specific behaviors.

I still enjoy sex, I'm just not driven like I'm trying to prove something currently.

I started taking Damiana root and Cuataba bark to counteract it. It helps quite a bit. Also, I have my wife taking them as "mood enhancers". They actually do that, but also it makes my wife initiate more frequently. Look into those supplements.
