Q. My husband has a really high sex drive, but after working all week and keeping the house tidy and cooking, I cannot be bothered. On the weekend when we take care of our baby grandson, I don’t have the energy.

Are there any foods that could reduce my husband’s sex drive? I have tried foods to increase my libido but I still cannot keep up with him. We are drifting apart because of this.

A. There are no foods that we know of to increase or decrease sex drive.Black licorice may lower testosterone and can have a negative impact on libido. Too much licorice, however, can raise blood pressure, deplete the body of potassium and cause other complications.

There are many medications that can dampen desire, but they also have other side effects. You may want to seek counseling to help the two of you manage your sexual relations. You might both benefit from an evaluation of hormone levels to see whether there is an imbalance that needs correcting.
