How many feel they suffer with sex frustration during low or depressed periods?

Like you really want to or should, in a relationship, but can't?

Hahaha yes me right now. I miiiight have the chance to get with someone lol but honestly I'm so tired idk if I will have the energy too!! Funny story though about 4 days ago I seduced one of my guy friends (we just made out but it has been mooonths since I've had any action)... I usually would never be so forward because I can be really shy when it comes to initiating stuff but for some reason after taking zopiclone I became super ballsy haha. I promptly passed out afterwards though obviously. Not doing that again.

I have no sexual frustrations because I have zero sexual desires.

That is a very big part of our lives that is missing and it is sad.

This can be difficult when dealing with the opposite sex. I had one man run off after abt three weeks (he was an *******). I'm just friends with another one and I told him that was my goal to begin with. Later he told me he thought I was joking and would change my mind. We hang out and play video games. This new guy I told him we could just be friends. I don't think it 's going to work with him period. He likes to get out the house a lot and hug a lot
The sex drive is out unless I'm manic. When manic I can stay in control thanks to risperdal. I'll see a very attractive man then if I start having thoughts abt him I will quickly turn and leave. LOL

Been years since I was in a relationship, but heck I still get that feeling regardless sometimes when I am in a downward spiral. Not to TMI ya'll to death but the self-love is a big deal for me, major source of stress-relief and sometimes the only good part of a whole day. But there are times when I am just so tired mentally and physically, too distracted or just too sad physiologically, so I just give up or don't bother trying.
Thanks for this!

For some reason I have little to no interest in sex with my partner but my own personal sex life is in full force. Gotta have the self love. I'm just not interested in my partner right now. He is pretty vanilla and doesn't have a lot of experience and I am too busy fantasizing about various other people to be interested in him. Plus I feel ugly a lot of the time.

Right now both my husband and I have physical issues so no sex for quite a while. It would be nice once in a while but we pretty much have to settle for cuddling. Rather sucks because I finally met someone who's a real sweetheart but we can't do the deed.

I am single, also, and a single parent, so it sucks. I don't bring anyone to my home. The last couple of men I have been interested in have wanted MORE than just sex. I just want sex, because I feel I am not relationship material at the moment.

I was surprised how many single men only want a relationship. I know that is a stereotype, and I am sorry. I just don't feel comfortable committing since I am so "hot and cold" due to my moods.
