Can't Find my Sex Drive Anywhere

Seems it's hiding and it has no intention of returning anytime soon which I kinda don't mind. Beats being hypersexual and wanting to jump random people all the time. Of course the fact that I'm not interested in sex or being sexual is worrying. I'm not really on anything- just my benzos which are prn so that's not it. I don't know what happened but every time I think about sex I wanna throw up. Considering it's been more than a month since I last got some and I haven't thrown a fit, thought of cheating, or even really flirted with anyone I'm a little worried but thankful. It's kinda nice being able to go through the day without lusting after people or getting distracted by boobs and legs and all that yucky stuff but still, that's ME so... Who am I without it? And why is it gone?

When you find it, let me know. Mine's gone missing as well.

For me, it comes and goes with moods. It would also probably be helpful if climax wasn't immediately followed by dysphoria. That's really something special.

It's never happened to me before so it's new and scary. Even making out seems disgusting. Mission: Find Sex Drive will commence shortly :-)

Try being without one for years. It really sucks!! quality of life is greatly diminished!! It keeps me out of trouble but where's the fun in that?

When you're without one for years and you have a partner, it makes for a lot of fighting. Be grateful to have avoided the fighting, and guilt.

I had my first date in a couple YEARS a few weeks ago mainly because of lack of sex interest. She said she was going to attack me on our 3rd date. Nothing like a little pressure if it makes it that far. lol

When sex is no optional it will be painful.
If you force yourself because you think 'you must to' is no longer optional. Instead of looking for the sex drive, look what is driving your sex. Usually social stereotypes (money, fame and chicks) try to bend us in places we actually don't fit.

the only things that turns me right off is someone being or saying something mean. other than that i'm good to go most of the time!!! If men could just get it into their stupid heads that being mean to me is the complete off switch, life would be great!!!

good luck iam did you check the freezer? sometimes I put things where they should not be and then can't find them. the freezer is usually my last resort!!

Lol @Irish. That's the perfect place for ti to hide. Is it usually the meds that kills the sex drive for you guys? I wish I knew what killed mine. I'm usually always running hot. I feel so out of place in my own body.
