Keto Diet!

No, if anything it increases it. A high-fat diet tends to increase testosterone levels, as well as give you shiny hair and a lot of morning wood.
Some people on the keto diet experience a drop in libido, followed by a surge in their sex drive. If you do some research, you'll see a lot of anecdotal evidence from people describing an initial dip in sexual desire once they start keto, followed by a noticeable improvement in libido. Researchers have found that men who consume a diet rich in whole grains and limited in refined carbohydrates have a lower prevalence of ED.
Simply feeling good about your body, for example, might increase your libido. It is also likely that someone following the keto diet may be increasing their general activity level, which has been shown to increase the quality of one's sex life.
"Sometimes when someone stops eating certain foods that really aren't great for them and starts to be more active and starts to feel better about themselves, this could be a formula for a better sex life and sex drive," Taub-Dix told INSIDER. "But is the diet creating that, or is it simply paying more attention to your diet? And could you accomplish the same with a diet that is better balanced for you and create the same results?"
Starting the keto diet probably won't hurt your sex life (well, once you get over your keto flu, that is). But it's important to remember that there's no conclusive evidence that proves that your sex life will be improved by keto, and there's also no telling how your body will handle the low-carb, high-fat diet.
