Being overweight / obese may cause you to lose interest in sex. There may be other causes eg Diabeted, Medication for High Blood Pressure etc. Losing weight may bring back your sex drive If you are overweight / obese it is possible that you feel your sex life has gone forever.

Your libido or sex drive as it is more commonly known has diminished, maybe so much so that you have no interest in sex anymore.

Being overweight can make you feel unattractive. You will compensate for this by telling yourself you don't care. Making excuses eg I'm too old for such thingsIt never seems to occur to us that if we lose some weight, we may well become the sexpots we were when we were younger.

I'm not saying lack of sexual desire is caused only be being overweight. There are other possible reasons.

Other possible causes may be:

People with Diabetes
On medication for High Blood Pressure
Women of child-bearing years, despite the sophisticated contraception available now, may still fear becoming pregnant again.
Older people have the mistaken idea that sex is for the youngsters, and now they have reached a certain mature age, they consider themselves past it.
Men may have problems in their plumbing departments
Being Depressed or Stressed
Etc.

If you have lost interest in sex, could any of the above reasons be what is causing your problem?So what if you have shaken your head at all the above reasons think of approaching your GP about your problem. He may refer you to a sex therapist, once he/she has checked you out for other reasons for your lack of interest in sex.
There is no need to be embarrassed, it's more common than you may think. Do you think it's only you? All your friends have perfectly normal sex lives. But who knows what goes on behind the walls of other people's homes.
If you are overweight what would be the advantages of losing weight?

The obvious, you'd look and feel better
You might well save your own life because of the various conditions being overweight may trigger eg
High Blood Pressure
Diabetes
Heart Attacks
Strokes etcSo losing weight has a lot going for it.

Who knows
