Loss of Sex drive

[mrcvnk]

I have been ridding myself of outer influence, and one thing I noticed, was my sex drive was more inspired by what others were doing. Now, my sex drive is so low, I hardly look to have sex with anyone. Do any of you guys experience this? Im 18 btw.

Assuming you are not overdosing on porn, could be low T or a thyroid issue. If it continues, you should ask your doc to do a lab test.

Maybe man. I thought others might have it also.

"What others are doing " care to elobrate?

I used to try to "fit in" and do the things I felt I was "supposed" to be doing. I would hook up with girls just to do it, not because I had a burning desire to or anything. I never had that kind of attraction that would make me go after a chick really badly. I kinda wish I could, because I get tons of women feeling attracted to me and I feel nothing. I would take advantage of this if it didn't feel so unnecessary to me you know?

Ah you may have low libido ,which may not be an issue, some people just do. Some guys have good libido but it isn't focused on women ,in some cases it is guys and in some rare cases it is not focused at all.

Have you ever felt sexually attracted to anyone? Could you be asexual?

I would get lab tests done. Total and free testosterone levels should be part of the tests. Most docs do not order free T tests, so be very specific about wanting one. It is much more telling that total T.

I would talk to your general practitioner about it if you are comfortable doing so. See if you can get a referral to an endocrinologist. They deal with checking hormone levels. If you are low on testosterone, you may be put on replacement therapy. It would be good to know for peace of mind at least. If you are within normal hormone levels, then it's in your mind and you can work on that.

You're kinda young to have sex drive issues. Have you considered that you might be gay? Are you physically attracted to women? Do you enjoy making out, touching, manual stimulation, etc?
