I've recently had a change in diet, (vegetarian) nothing else is really different but lately i am feeling like my arousal levels are really low. Even when i am horney its like 50% at most of what i normally feel just a few months ago.
I am taking tablets for things i miss from eating meat etc. though i am not very healthy in general, not sure if thats the reason. I am 33 years old though and feel this is not normal. Another thing that is surprising is my mental fantisies are really weak, i cannot find anything i imagine or even porn does a *single thing* for me. For me this is the biggest issue.
I even wonder if my testosterone levels are low lately?
Have you had a physical recently? You can ask your doctor to do a Testosterone test and a PSA. Probably nothing to worry about but it's good to get checked out, especially if you are making major changes to your diet or exercise level. How about stress? That can slay arousal for sure.
No physical recently no.
Stress levels are as normal.
Reality check. The aneros is a dangerous thing for some.
A few days ago when I had my good sessions my mood was really good, everyone saw it. Today after my confusing, poor one despite following the same path as before, I am in a foul mood. Really badly lost it today at someone not deserving of such.
I wish I had never discovered the aneros, all in all its been a negative element in my life. Now I know of its existence and what it can do I cannot ever stop.
How are you so sure the Aneros is to blame? Considering what you've posted before this last one, I think a doctors visit is in order. It sounds as if your mood is taking a nose dive. I don't want to try to play doctor, or try to diagnosis, but it sounds like something more than the aneros causing all of the woes you're describing.
I would agree with @Haas. The Aneros is just a piece of inert plastic. Changing the diet will upset the chemistry especially if you have dropped the meat. Note that vegetables and grains are loosing their mineral nutrients due to the increased CO2 levels. Exercise is the new wonder drug - which unfortunately is free. I am sure we will have an "exercise pill" on the market soon. You note you do not exercise that may be a critical factor. Certainly a medical check up seems to be in order. The Testosterone levels are important but many medical people are wary of TRT due to the flawed research publications on TRT and the disasterous HRT report some years ago.
Cornell University completed a study, some people who follow a vegetarian lifestyle are at a greater risk of heart attack and colon cancer than those who eat meat. It's worth a read, it may not affect you but there are definitely groups of people it may hurt
mm I think it was Cornell Uni that came to the remarkable conclusion that penises could not be be enlarged because they had no muscle! We should wait for the next group of PHD seekers to see the opposite findings!
Statistics are tricky things.

Looks simple to me. You fell into routine and lost that necessary bit of a healthy distance, you got used to the pleasure to the point that it became something ordinary. That's why a single failed session (that happens, it's natural) seemed like a huge loss - and it shouldn't.
Lesson: take a break, start again, never lose excitement and that sense of wonder and everything will be alright. And remember that your sessions may not always be as great as it gets.
@Sorena , i can relate to that feeling,I went kinda crazy whit the idea of getting a MMO at first, wich led to loss of exitement from over stimulation ect.. I took a week break when that happened and when i did a session after my break i had to stop after 30 minutes because it felt too good lol...Don't get discouraged, from the little experience i have so far i'd say its part of the rewiring
I'm just curious, why did you choose to be vegetarian? I'm not here to start a hassle or anything, but it sounds like you're upset doing it and I'm wondering why.
