I'm embarrassed to bring it up, but I feel absolutely asexual these days. I'm on what seems like a plethora of meds, but one of these is lexapro (known to have sexual side-effects). I've been feeling depressed for quite some time (I have SAD in addition to BP), so the depression might also be affecting my sex drive. I'm a 51 year old male & I'm unable to achieve erections, let alone achieve ejaculation on those rare occasions when I do.

So, is it the meds, the depression, or the onset of age? I just don't know. It's frustrating. I'm not currently in a relationship, so it isn't causing romantic problems, but I miss being able to ejaculate once in a while...it seems to relieve anxiety as much as any of the meds I'm on. Like BlueInanna, my sex drive increases when I'm feeling hypo, but I've not been hypo in a long time (8 months).

So, I'm currently feeling asexual, but I miss feeling sexual. All i'm saying is it's frustrating at this time. I hope the days of hypo return soon, or that I can figure out which of the previously mentioned variables is most responsible for my current condition.
