Unfortunately your sex drive or libido is linked to your testosterone level, which is being suppressed as a result of the medications (Lupron and Casodex) that you are on. Assuming that the quality of your erections is also probably poor, a trial of any of the drugs that help produce and ensure a satisfactory erection (such as Levitra or Cialis) may lead to an increase in your sexual desires.
