View submission: 37F dating after separation, partner with low libido again....

View parent comment

Oh this is an interesting point. My stbx was a pretty decent gymgoer and healthy eater (i cook healthy food). My current partner was less so in terms of healthy eating until we were together more and he's started getting back into exercising (he's more into martial arts) but willing to try yoga with me.

Yea, I how he does tmyoga with you! It's great for stretching and core stability!

Fyi, Erectile issues are usually a proxy for heart issues (outside is things like anxiety). High BP, high cholesterol/lipids, etc.

If it's a concern, more than some gym/yoga/eating well, several hours of zone 2 cardio of some form is actually what is very important.

As far as an approach for things life the gym goes, usually the best way to bring about any change isn't to suggest, but to ask questions that being about thinking and light to any given topic.

As far as your stbx goes, their medications can definitely kill libido. Especially SSRI antidepressants. They can't ever orgasm. A quick search around reddit will reveal that. I'm sure there's plenty of drugs that also cause libido issues too. Sorry you and him had to go thru that.
