Abstract: We study the existence of positive loops of contactomorphisms on a Liouville-fillable contact manifold $(Sigma,xi=ker(alpha))$. Previous results show that a large class of Liouville-fillable contact manifolds admit contractible positive loops. In contrast, we show that for any Liouville-fillable $(Sigma,alpha)$ with $dim(Sigma)geq7$, there exists a Liouville-fillable contact structure $x{i}^{\prime }$ on $Sigma$ which admits no positive loop at all. Further, $x{i}^{\prime }$ can be chosen to agree with $xi$ on the complement of a Darboux ball.
