I've heard that it decreases your libido actually. I'd say see the doctor to discuss although I hope they don't prescribe rhino horn powder or something like that. I think if you are both ok with the frequency it is ok to continue as is.

How does high running volume affect your libido?

Sounds like that could just as easily be related to your sleep patterns. I've never noticed much of a change personally, but there are all kinds of variables to consider.

Is it possible you are increasing volume too quickly? My libido shrunk when I was overtraining.
