Neutered male dogs and retained sexual interest poll

[ifitpleasesthedog]

I’ve been with 5 dogs both before and after neuter. One kind of lost interest completely afterwards, but he has since gained it back, and will sometimes even go multiple times a day now. One of them lost most interest, he’ll still happily mount and start humping but it’s almost never to completion, he loses interest pretty quickly during the act. One of them I couldn’t tell any difference. One of them isn’t as interested, but when he is, he try’s harder, while before he would hardly ever hump other than an initial thrust or two to get it in, now he usually always does. And one I think is actually more interested now to the point where it’s annoying.

I've been with intact and neutered males and it's very dependent on when the neutering takes place.

A dog who reaches sexual maturity and has time to develop before getting neutered can still retain some of the feelings...on top of that if the dog was sexually active during that time they don't forget the pleasurable feelings that comes with maiting so they sometimes seek it out. This isn't 100% but there is a higher chance in these conditions.

Dogs neutered before sexual maturity or very young will show/have almost no desire in that regard. I'm sure there are exceptions but mostly not.

My boy had to be neutered for health reasons too. It was kind of heartbreaking when he would still try to hump, but his equipment just didn't work the same anymore. That was years ago now and he's still happy and healthy, so I don't worry much about it these days.

It would be a lot easier if there weren't so many other health issues involved. I really try to enjoy every moment with him..

It's hard to watch such an active dog, struggle to come to terms with his own limitations with mobility.
