Yeah that's a real issue I have been avoiding. Since I have been on dialysis I have lost interest in sex.

I think lack of sex drive is a pretty common problem with both sexes when it comes to being on Dialysis.   I also have lost a huge interest since starting dialysis also.......as well, I know some bp meds can cause side effects of a decreased sex drive.....I think the meds alone can cause that......the dialysis just kills it even that much more.      ::)
