I feel sexually dead inside. I've felt this way for 5 years, maybe longer.
Before that it was different. But, now... No desire at all. No drive. No spark. Nothing. I don't even understand the need for it. Nor do I want or seem to need physical affection of any sort. Just the opposite. I hate to be touched. I have really, really bad germ phobia OCD. Not the current 'germ phobe' craze, but a serious mental illness type deal. But I don't think that that is all that is going on here. It's not that I want to be touched but am held back by the germ phobia. I don't want to be touched or have sex in the first place. It's just reinforced by the germ phobia. Know what I mean? Anyway, does anyone else feel dead, sexually? I don't want that to change. I am not asking for a sex life. I am not missing it. I just want to know if I am the only one. |

NO - you are not the only one, many people have gone through or are now going through the death of a once enjoyed sex life...

Often mental health medications badly affect sex drive. Maybe something to consider if you are using any medication.

It took me a long time to figure out that I'm actually asexual. This means that I am attracted to various people, but the physical expression part doesn't interest me at all.
This is probably not the case with you, but it is something to consider.

Quote:
Not meds. I have been on and off of meds. Doesn't seem to make a difference. But I haven't always been this way. But, I don't mind the change. I was just wondering if anyone else felt this way and was ok with it. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
