Has anyone else experienced this? No more libido after a vasectomy.
It’s been about 1.5 years since my vasectomy. The procedure took place two months before our wedding. My future (at the time) wife was very interested in it and kept encouraging me to do it. She didn’t want to have children or take birth control herself. I really wanted to do it, too. So I did.
Up until the procedure, our sex life was going great. We had sex every day. Sometimes several times a day. Then I went in for the procedure, and of course, there was a bit of a break afterward—the break was supposed to last until the wedding, until the semen analysis. I had the tests done, it turned out I was fine, and... we started trying to restart our sex life.
And right away, it was clear that my wife didn’t want it anymore. But it seemed like it would pass, and for the next month we continued having sex, though it wasn’t very satisfying. Then, seeing her negative attitude toward sex and her clearly non-existent libido, things just died down, and we haven’t had sex once in a year.
I know she once had a boyfriend who’d had a vasectomy, and as she said herself, it wasn’t a problem for her—on the contrary, they had sex three times a day.
I don’t quite understand, because nothing happened after the procedure. There were no arguments or anything. She also never says anything, just that she simply has no libido, and that’s it. After a year, she went to a psychiatrist, got medication, but still nothing, zero libido.
And now I’m wondering if it’s possible that this is because of the vasectomy?
