“Why Am I Not Getting Horny?” 

July 10, 2025

Not getting horny anymore? Let’s talk about it. You’re not in the mood. Like, ever. Libido is at zero and you’re wondering if something’s wrong—or if you’re just getting old. Here’s the truth: low libido is not just part of aging. And you’re definitely not alone.

I’m Alex Hughes, lead APP at Austin Urology Institute, and if this sounds like you, we’ve got answers.

Here’s what could be going on:

  • Hormones out of whack – Low testosterone in men. Estrogen/testosterone shifts in women. Thyroid issues. All of these mess with libido.
  • Stress & mental load – Job burnout, parenting, relationship issues—it all affects desire.
  • Medications – Some antidepressants, blood pressure meds, and even allergy drugs can kill your drive.
  • Relationship dynamics – Physical intimacy is tied to emotional connection more than people admit.

What you can do:

  • Let us check your hormone levels. It’s quick, easy, and often reveals what’s behind the curtain.
  • Reassess your routine—sleep, exercise, diet, mental health. It all adds up.
  • Talk it out with your partner. And maybe a therapist too. No shame in getting support.

Low libido doesn’t mean you’re “less than” or broken—it just means your body is asking for help. We’re here to listen, not judge. Schedule a consultation today.
