I've never had a very high libido compared to most men, but I have always practiced masturbation. I'm 50 now, and over the last 5 years my libido has become something that I must whip into action with great effort. I'm not talking about erectile dysfunction - but low libido. There is no longer a sexual frustration that must be relieved. HOWEVER, after a week of sexual inactivity I begin to feel indifferent to life. Often masturbation makes me feel normal again for several days.

The problem is the masturbation is such a long and arduous chore now. It takes hours, and usually I just give up without reaching an orgasm. It prevents me from getting enough sleep. The costs have gone way up and sex no longer seems worthwhile. The problem is that awful feeling of indifference that comes with abstinence.

I don't know if anybody has gone through this or has advice? (I don't take any medications BTW)
