Masturbation and low libido

Published by

I have been masturbating for the past 5 years due to the death of my wife and my decision not to have sex outside marriage.  Having remarried at 50 years of age, I noticed that my sex drive is very low. I want to know if poor libido is due to my masturbation and if so, how can I stop the habit. Kindly advise me.

Cases of low libido associated with masturbation especially where the masturbation is very frequent. This makes it difficult for the person involved to have a satisfactory sexual relationship. Now that you have remarried, you should gradually ease off masturbation and maintain a  regular sexual relationship with your wife.
