Hey everyone! I'm kinda new here,but thought this might be a good place to get some pointers with my dilemma. So here goes.... My boyfriend and I have been together off and on for 7,going on 8 years now. He has struggled with drug addiction for most of his life,which I fully understand. Problem is this: for almost a year now,he has been on the methadone program. 90mgs. Which I'm grateful for,keeps him out of trouble. However,since he's been on it,his sex drive is pretty much non-existant. Which I am definitely not happy with,but I'm doing my best to be understanding. I have worked up the courage once or twice to talk to him,and it went well...but he hasn't made any effort to see a doctor. I'm pretty much at my wits end. Feeling insecure lonely,horny(lol). What can I do here? I love him very much,so walking is something I just can't do yet,please,any advice would be helpful at this point.
 
I've never been on methadone, but long-term opiate use (heroin) has killed my sex drive. Maybe try to get cozy with him in the AM, when men have their, ahem, morning wood. As long as everything is functioning normally down there (no ED or any other medical conditions), maybe some viagra would get him going. Good Luck.
 
I dated someone for a bit who had this problem too. Actually, he had no trouble getting aroused but he couldn't cum. More frustrating for him than me, hehe. Different than the usual lack of sex drive I've experienced with opiate use.

Sadly, I have no advice. The guy I knew eventually got off the done I think. That's the only solution I know of. Perhaps just tapering would be enough to make a difference though?
 
Oh it functions,just no drive. I can definitely give the morning wood idea a go though,I'm willing to try anything at this point. Id dress up like a clown if I had too! Lol,just kidding :-)
 
See,I'm having the exact opposite happen. When he is aroused,it doesn't last.And for me,my libido is perfectly fine when using opiates. I've read over and and over than methadone lowers your sex drive, and that for men it actually lowers testosterone. I'm really going to try to be sincere and play up a visit do the doctor,and hopefully his ego will allow that. Just don't see him getting off anytime soon,ever really. :(
 
If the methadone lowers his testosterone that will definately kill his sex drive. He can actually get supplemental testosterone shots given to him by a physician. That will guarantee a much healthier sex drive
 
That's what I think it is to be honest. Because I've noticed his energy levels are way lower along with the sex drive. I've talked to him about it before, and tried to play all aspects of it up,not just the sex drive. But I know its embarrassing for him so I think that's why he hasn't followed through. I guess I should be more firm about getting it checked(no pun intended). Its to the point where I'm actually thinking about exes for Gods sake.
