how to increase sexual desire in male - #37856
I am struggling with something that feels really sensitive to talk about. Lately, I’ve noticed my partner’s been sort of distant, and when it comes to intimacy, well, he just doesn’t seem interested anymore. He used to be so passionate, and now it's like he’s just not there - physically and emotionally. We've tried talking it out, but I can tell he’s feeling kinda embarrassed about it. I heard that there are ways to tackle this naturally, and I am seriously wondering how to increase sexual desire in male partners. He’s only in his 30s, eats okay, but I think stress from work and life stuff is really weighing on him, maybe affecting his libido? We even tried a few over-the-counter supplements, but nothing seems to work. I've seen some suggestions about Ayurvedic remedies, but I'm not sure where to start or what’s safe. Would things like herbal supplements really help and how do we figure out what works best? Also, are there any dietary changes or lifestyle tips you all would recommend? Just feel stuck and hoping to find a natural way to increase sexual desire in male partners without making it a big deal. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Doctors' responses
Focusing on increasing a male partner’s sexual desire can indeed be nuanced, but Ayurveda offers a holistic approach. Stress, definitely, can play a significant role in reducing libido, as it affects both mental and physical states. First, it might be worth considering Ashwagandha or “Withania somnifera,” a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine known for balancing stress and enhancing vitality. Taking 250-500mg with milk at night is often recommended, but start with a small dose, and monitor any effects.
Another herbal consideration is Shatavari or “Asparagus racemosus.” Though traditionally more associated with female health, its adaptability for men helps support reproductive health and increases vitality over time.
Dietary changes could also contribute positively. Encourage a diet rich in organic foods, with emphasis on saporific (sattvic) foods, which calm the mind and promote ojas (vitality essence). Include nuts, seeds, and fruits like bananas and figs — these are known to be nourishing and can naturally enhance vitality.
Regular physical activity is key. Daily moderate exercise not only improves circulation and energy levels but reduces stress too. Activities like yoga or Tai Chi can be particularly beneficial, owing to their mind-body connection.
Lifestyle tips! Ensuring your partner adopts a consistent sleep routine and reduces screen time before bed could help. Sleep restores bodily functions including hormonal balance, critical for libido. Encourage taking short breaks at work to ease stress build-up — this might improve how he feels day to day. It’s paramount to approach all these suggestions with a gentle understanding, so they don’t add pressure.
Recommendations might benefit from professional tailoring, too. Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice can ensure the approach aligns with his unique prakriti (body type) and current dosha imbalance. Remember, it’s all about small, consistent changes inviting balance into his life.
