Does Low EQ/Libido Hinder Growth?

I’m currently on a diet going for 10% bodyfat and I have virtually no libido right now. My EQ is about a 3 and I can only maintain an erection for a min or so.

When I measured for my monthly check in, my size was still the same despite having piss poor erection health. Maybe I grew and it doesn’t show. Who knows.

Is is still possible to grow while having low eq and on a caloric deficit? I increased my pumping volume on my workout and had great expansion post workout.

Zero libido and a very poor EQ (despite a presumably healthy lifestyle) is likely indicative of underlying causes you may want to explore. I’m no medical professional, but what’s the point of these gains if you can’t even be bothered to use them someday, you know what I mean? Despite my lack of a medical degree, I don know from personal experience that certain factors like stress, medications, and others can be holding you back. Also, try and avoid adult/erotic content if you are experiencing this level of EQ & libido, desperate means for arousal I’m afraid may do more harm than good (especially until you get to the bottom of it).

How long have you been experiencing this lack of sexual motivation? If it’s been fairly persistent, I’m giving you the friendly advice of seeking a professional’s opinion :)

Now to answer your original question - it’s hard to say since I do truly believe PE exercising’s efficacy often varies person-to-person for a number known & unknown factors. I can say this much: for me, having a positive EQ actually helped with my gains because it allowed me to sustain semi-chubs during wet jelqs in order to ultimately edge/balloon my glans. I found that this unique method worked quite well for me many years ago, especially in the length department, and I am certain that if I had a low libido and low EQ, those gains would not have been possible.

I’m wondering if you’ve tried pumping to see at least see how much EQ/blood-flow you can sustain? And/or maybe a cock ring? Either way, definitely consider my initial suggestions re: possible treatment. Good luck!

If you are “going for 10% body fat” how much do you have now ?
Preparing for a bodybuilding show naturally, its very common to have almost zero libido when you reach for example 5% body fat or less. Your hormones are fucked at such low percentage.

Anything above like 7% you should not have problem at all with libido or EQ
Get blood work and hormones checked. Anything other than that is just guessing that will lead you nowhere.
Or trial/error. For myself, my libido got fucked when I had anything less than 50g/day of fats.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I realized my fats were way too low at 37g per day and when I raised it to atleast 70g/day, my libido shot up. Of course the calorie deficit and the body fat percentage plays a role in libido until I eat maintenance or a caloric surplus.

Glad to hear that. Most simple way you want to look at macros and what they are responsible for:
Protein - building/repair blocks
Carbs - energy
Fat - hormones
