Given up booze, lost libido M/31

[Jcvc90]

Been boozing for years, met my mrs 5 years ago, have great sex and now expecting our planned little boy in May. I was drinking cans of lager every day (always after work, never ever let it affect my work life) and wine with food at the weekends, never during the week. Sounds acceptable, but even for me it felt a lot, 5-10 cans every day, more at weekends plus the wine etc. give it all up cold turkey jan 02 2022. Been really easy to be fair, only the occasional desire to get drunk every few weekends or so but 0%beers and wine really help and make it not noticeable (lack of alcohol)

However, my libido has also completely gone. In every capacity. Without being too crass, it is very noticible. Me and my mrs have really good communication about everything so we have both discussed this, and I looked into it and it seems to be a thing when giving up alcohol. Throw into all this mix selling our house and moving house at Christmas etc was fairly stressful.

Give up booze; lose libido.

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this? Did anything help? Did it return? What should I do?

(We are both madly in love, in for the long run, and both really really excited to have our little baby boy)

That is strange. Usually it’s the other way round. It’s great you have managed to lay off the booze and best wishes when the baby comes. Perhaps a word with your doctor is needed. You may need some blood tests. 🤷🏻‍♂️
