Hello I am 25 years old and I have the same problem. Honestly I don’t even want to unless im high or drunk. I use to be a heavy opiate addict and in 2013 met my current ex husband and got married and was taken out of that life and moved across a country. I then started heavily drinking and would only want sex with him when I was drunk. -I replaced my opiate problem with drinking- I became a heavy heavy drinker. But anyway we are now divorcing and in the end of our marriage barely had sex. Now I am trying to heal but every time I think about meeting new people on dating websites or what not I stop and think if it lead to anything I would have to be drunk! I have some insecurities but I really don’t think that’s my problem. I don’t know if it’s brain damage from past drug use or what but I feel like I have a serious problem and just want to be normal!

Hi, huskylove20, and welcome to Psych Central! I suggest you talk to a therapist about this issue since it cuts down on your pleasure and to me, the purpose of sex in general.

Hi and welcome to PC!
I also have a similar intimacy issue. I haven’t found a therapist to help. I have had some trauma in the past and my relationship made this issue worse because it became a struggle. You should think about why you feel this way. Definitely get off the heavy drugs/alcohol regardless. I’ve done a lot of soul searching about it. But, I’m still clueless! On PC, you can at least figure stuff out and get support from others.

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