    The first thing you need to do is figure out why your sex drive is low and try to help get it back. I was in your situation and it's not fun without being horny and feeling in the mood when needed. I also felt like my orgasms (if I would even get one) were really weak. Probably because of my sex drive.

    However, I tried exercising and dieting but nothing seemed to be working. I thought I was screwed. I then found something just as amazing as the vibrator.

    My friend at work told me about this stuff she took to raise her sex drive. It was a natural herbal supplement and was I lucky to of found it. Theres no side effects and the sex drive is just tremendous along with orgasms that are blasting. The stuff is called Hersolution pills. At the time I saved money on them at herenhancement.com

    What I did was tried out for 3 months and that was really it. I found taking them every other day or so was the best to stretch it out. After the months were up, I was back to normal with a beating sex drive and my orgasm strength in increased so much.

    Well good luck and I hope this helps.

    There actually has been some new research on a drug called Bupropion. Bupropion (Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL) is often used to counteract sexual dysfunction in patients taking Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's, example: Prozac), Effexor, and similar antidepressants

    I do not really know your specific case, however, the best way of solving any issue is getting to the root of it. Have you had a complete physical? Have you gotten your hormones tested? Some medicine can decrease sex drive, are you taking any other medicine? Do you have any psychological issues with intimacy? These questions should be brought up to your physician and addressed. Once these issues are resolved, you'll be able to enjoy life on a different tier

    I took Buprion for depression and noticed an increase in sex drive. I specifically asked the pharmacist before I started taking it if that would happen, because it was a side effect I did not want, and the pharmacist said it was unlikely, but it did increase my sex drive significantly.
