Big Dave,

Your problem may be calorie intake. If you are working out hard and limiting your calories too much you could notice some performance problems. After all if you deplete your muscles of food (all muscles) you may not be providing your body with the energy you need to perform.

Try some suppliements as well. Sometimes this will help give you a charge. Those that accellerate the metabolisim may help.

since you've lost a lot of weight, then I think it would be a good idea to decrease your workouts to 3 per week, lasting from 45 mins to 75 minutes, as it seems that 5 days per week is just hitting your body too hard... good luck

Try taking ZMA if you don't already. It naturally boosts testosterone levels, which will in turn increase sexual performance and sperm production. My wife and I are trying for our first baby now. I workout 5-6 days a week (depends on my workout schedule) and sometimes fatigue can play a very big role in the bedroom. I take the ZMA primarily for the anabolic affects, but increased sexual performance - sure, I'll take it, too! What a bonus! Give it a shot and you'll see a difference within about 2 weeks.

BigDavid,

it seems quite strange. Most of society will actually get an increased sex drive if they are involved in physical fitness.

How old are you? Are you taking and supplements?
