Check hormones: Having male breast enlargement (gynecomastia) does not in and of itself affect sex life (fertility or impotence), but what causes the gynecomastia might. If that is a concern see your primary care doctor for a complete (including testicular and breast) exam and they will know what blood tests to order. It could just be from being overweight, or genetic, but rule out a medical cause.

Shouldn't : Gynecomastia should't effect your sex drive or sex life. Provided you have sufficient testosterone easily measured with a blood test by your pcp.

Complicated: Sometimes men with gynecomastia may be embarrassed about the appearance of their chest wall; this sense of embarrassment may cause a decreased sense of self-esteem and potentially interfere with their sex life. These men may be reluctant to remove their shirts in private or public. Otherwise, most men with gynecomastia do not report that their sex lives are effected.
