yes it does. Maybe you didn't have that problem, but you're not all men, plenty of men do experience this, but maybe they don't all talk about it.0 -

I have yoyoed up and down a lot in the last 15 years. I don't find my libido changes, just my comfort level in initiating sex. When I am actively losing weight I feel sexy so I initiate, where as when I am going up, I feel ugly so I tend to want it, but get more passive about expressing the need for sex. For me it's more a matter of fear of rejection then lack of libido.
This is not science, just me.0 -

Some people are depressed when they are fat, so is it the fat or the depression that affects the libido. Is there some health reason that is both causing the weight gain and the drop in libido. etc It's not exactly cut and dried.0

Yes, it works both ways. Anorexics who go into recovery and achieve a normal weight tend to have an increase in libido and people who are normal weight and gain weight tend to have a decrease. Of course there are many many exceptions to this but it seems that having healthy weight in conjunction with healthy self-esteem is a good mix.0
