Well, it may sound silly, but times of economic woes, such as the recession we’ve found ourselves smack dab in the middle of as of late, can definitely interfere with people’s sex drives.  Especially for those of us who have been directly affected by the recession and deepening economic problems that venture deeply into jobless rates, gas prices, and housing problems, bad economies, and hence horrible expenses at home, piled on with other financial pressure, has an effect on us in the bedroom.

You see, psychologically being pushed away from your libido is not just a woman’s problem.  It is also a man’s, and men who need help with libido are often looked at for more physical problems rather than mental, when the shift lately may be more to the mental side for men in trying economic times and times when money is important to keep up with the  new technology and other things technology has brought, and made life more expensive.

It’s amazing if you think about it, how much money a family needs just to stay afloat now compared to just a few decades ago, when women could more comfortably be stay at home mothers without having to worry about bringing home the bacon also (I know this sounds stereotypical of me, but believe me, it serves a purpose).

Heck, we just purchased a home together, and the strains it has put on us both emotionally and financially at times may be enough for one person to suffer a nervous breakdown.  And trust me, the last thing you feel like doing after a long and hard day’s work out in the yard or doing some other sort of strenuous housework has an effect on the male libido - it doesn’t matter what sex you are. 

Economic hard times do come and go, and this is just cyclical, although it may be deeper than the brief recessions we’ve been accustomed to since the Great Depression, but we will rebound like we always do, so try not to let it put your sex life in the dumper for too long.  Money’s just not worth worrying yourself to death over.
