Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Just wait and see: The general opinions seem to agree that there is no direct effect on sexual desire. However, it they cause pain, the pain could lower it and as they may result in a higher testosterone balance, that could raise it. Wait and see how you feel. Expect what you'd like - it WILL increase those chances. Really. Best wishes!
