ok. i have NO sex drive. im not on any medication. im perfectly healthy(physically healthy at least...) and im a 19 year old male. it makes no sense. i should have an unstoppable sex drive at this age. but i dont. i just feel empty. i know that my depression/anxiety has everything to do with my low sex drive but how do i get out of this hole? medications can have a lot of sexual side effects. how could the medication help me feel better if it doesnt get rid of one of the biggest symptoms of depression/anxiety?
hey everyone
im the one suffering from dep and anxiety (mainly due to my derealization) but its my bf that has no sex drive. he doesnt rly know why just thinks its cause he is stressd and he has problems with impotence because of it. if im being honest it really upsets and and makes me feel ugly and rejected so i have stopped initiating it too so now i just feel empty. if you have no sex drive but your partner does, u need to talk to them and explain everything, that you are getting help and you want to change it. im sure your husband wont leave you if hes a good man but.. explain to him you still fancy him and love him its just hard at the moment. maybe when the pressures gone you may feel like it again.
i certainly dont enjoy sex the way i used to cause i analyse everything and feel so spaced out but i pretend to and hope itll get better but its hard when someone rejects u x

I think since i've been sixteen (and started birth control pills) I never had really a sex drive for all these years I am now 25. I always thought I was just that way. I didn't have trouble when we started it but I just never initiated it because I never felt like it. Anyways last month I started Paxil and talked to my doctor because my anxiety seemed to be thru the roof during my PMS but I couldnt remember I had that prior to taking the pill I've been on it for too long now. She told me to stop it and just take my paxil so we would see. Well this month I have sex drive for the first time in my life.. It's brought me closer to my fiance and I feel normal.. which is all new to me... BUT I can't get to orgasm anymore.. 
which I never had trouble with this before now I feel frustrated I know this is not that counts but when you don't have that problem it gets me frustrated.. anybody had that problem?
