Answer

<p>Hello,</p><p>First I would suggest that he have a complete work up including a general physical and endocrinoloical exam to rule out any physical problems. This would include a testosterone level as a low testosterone level may account for diminished sex drive. and an examination to ensure that he has enterred puberty. Although late, there are those who are that age and have not yet entyerred puberty. Rare, but it is known to occur. Both over training and inactivity can lead to low testosterone levels. I assume there was no steropid use, although that assumption may be incorrect. Of course we know that the use of anabolic steroids can result in diminished testosterone levels and subsequent lack of sex drive.</p><p> </p><p>It may also be that he is so preoccupied with his sport so that there is no room for anything else, but candidly that is not likely. Because he has no sex drive with girls does not mean he is a homosexual. My advice is that when all the physical exams and blood work is completed, assuming this is a concern to him, I would suggest that he begin a stint of psychotherapy. Depression is also a cause for lack of interest in sex and although many anti-depressants have a negative effect on sexuality (probably the reason welbutrin was used as it of the antidepressantsthat has the least amount of sexual interference. Lack of sexual interest among young males irrespective of their object choice is somewhat rare because of the hormonal levels with males achieving their peak at approximately 18 years of age or there abouts.. As to readings or treatments, before you start to speculate, which can do more damage than good, please wait for the results I mentioned. Then when you are closer to pinninning down the cause there numerous articles on low sex drive, exercise and low sex drive which a Google or Yahoo search will direct you to. Best wishes and good luck. Remember before anything to be considered a manifestation of emotional difficulty, it has toi be problematic or a difficulty for the individual involved. If it is not a physiological problem and it does not bother him, it is again not considered as an emotional problem. Best wishes and good luck.</p><p>Sincerly,</p><p>Ralph LMHC</p><p>Please click green "ACCEPT" button on this page if you are satisfied with my answer so that I get credit for my work.
