Loss of libido- is it necessarily a bad thing? 1

I'm 24. I've been on SSRI/SNRI antidepressants almost perpetually since age 15. I have a very low sex drive. I never do anything in an effort to try to have sex. I don't even look at porn. Not because I'm morally indignant. I just don't care.
Why do people make such a big deal out of losing their libido? It seems to me like it causes more problems than it solves

It's probably really freeing. I try to consciously do the same thing. The urge for sex is one of the biggest things that keeps us human beings in bondage. When you get down to it, how many of the things that people feel obligated to do in life really stem from the desire for sexual gratification?

for me, none.
when I pursue a female, it's for the companionship. if I can't have a good conversation with you, I'm not interested. sex is sex. it happens but like whatever

It doesn't seem like there was ever a time where you got to enjoy having a strong libido, it's unsurprising that you'd think that. Sex is fun. I'd prefer to have sex as the underlying motivation for humanities actions rather than say, war.

I see where you're coming from.
However, I quit taking SSRI's a few years back because I got sick of that "neutered" feeling. I had this feeling that I was missing something and eventually got tired of it. I just don't feel like myself without a sex drive.

war is obviously not an underlying motivation though, it's a means to an end

And sex is a means to pleasure or procreation  Say rage or domination then.
Since you aren't motivated by sex, what makes you get up and go to work in the morning?

I guess I have been emotionally numb for so long that I am just used to it. I smile a lot though; I can't help it, and it brings positive attention so I wouldn't stop it even if I could

yes sex is usually a means to pleasure. pleasure has been argued to the motivating force behind basically all human action. not sure if I agree but it seems plausible

that's because you're a normal human. Look, if a girl starts getting naked in front of me or making obvious sexual advances with no apparent ulterior motive, it's not like I decline. All I'm saying is that it never occurs to me to actively seek out sex. Like I would never go to a bar to try to get laid, or flirt with a girl just because I thought she was sexy and there might be a chance I could fuck her (at some point... this behavior really blows my mind, shows me how strong the sex drive is in others). Even many girls I get to know obviously have a bigger sex drive than me. girls are just better at concealing it

thats not a good thing. sex is a healthy natural act. its fun, its exciting, its a great work out, its great enjoying a female or twos body on yours. i mean, its not the only thing you can enjoy about life, but sex is and can be a wonderful thing. whats even better is when you find that one person you can explore sex with. try new things. see what you like and dont like. its a great exp!
fuck it, let me know when youre in texas. you can swing by and my chick and i will help you get out of this chode of a situation.

I am not as active as I should be. I work at the university that I study at, but otherwise I spend most of my time alone. There are only 3 males in the entire graduate program I'm in, and honestly I have my pick of the single ones. Latina women seem to be magnetized to me (and all the women in the program are latina except one).
Part of my problem is that I'm super poor. I make $1000 a month working part time and that doesnt even really cover all my expenses, much less the expense of dating/going out to bars.

lol damn bro it's like that huh?
I haven't taken MDMA in a few years. because of the SSRIs, I have to take a much higher dose than most people in order to get the same effect. It definitely did make me want to touch every person in my vicinity
I used to love fucking on acid. I really do miss that.

fuck going out. dude, casually talk to some of the females at your school. create a school friendship. after awhile an attraction will grow. invite her back to skirp a little derg and let nature take its course.
the chase is always just as fun as the actually dicking of the female.
i would also suggest becoming a bit more active. maybe grab a bike from a pawn shop or some shit. i know damn well houston has 100s of pawn shops.

My sex drive SUCKED REALLY BAD on SSRI meds from the time I was 17 to 20. I was having sex once a month in a committed relationship. It progressively got better as I found the right medication and I feel like I did when I first started having sex.
Sex is important, but you should enjoy it. If you don't care about having sex, don't have sex. It's not a competition, it's all about you and your partner.

problem is I am heavily dependent on them since I've been on them for 9 years. I've cut back. I used to take 120mg of cymbalta and now I only take 60 but it's still a hefty dose and very hard to quit. last time I quit SSRIs cold turkey I went off the deep end taking psychedelics almost every single day and got super paranoid, crazy, and depressed to the point of suicidality.

yeah all of those things can help (except probably weed) but dependence to an SSRI is very strong. I am just not at a point in my life where I feel stable enough to do it. maybe when I finish school.

In the past I have always just fallen into relationships. Some girl will magically come into my life and obviously be very attracted to me and I just let it happen. They have always been the type of girls who were extremely low maintenance, in fact in some cases they were maintaining me somewhat.
Now that I'm in grad school I doubt any of the women are interested in a guy who lives with his parents and makes $1000 a month and has an almost daily drug habit

thanks for posting in this thread, all of your posts are gold 
morrow i'm pretty fascinated that SSRIs seem to help you as much as they do. all the other benefits you seem to get from them seem like they're worth it. i personally couldn't stand them when i tried them but i'd get really bad physical side effects.
since it doesn't really seem to be bothering you i think you have the right idea to keep taking them as long as you feel comfortable, and then maybe when you finish school you can rethink them if you want.

i can dig that, i'm in a similar situation except i'm not in grad school, i'm basically still in year one in community college 
seems like you still live responsibly though, which is good. i don't think that many people would be TOO put off by your habits (i struggle trying to tell myself the same thing) i do harder drugs somewhat frequently but i still get things done. i really wonder how much girls would or wouldn't be put off by that.

You'd be surprised, some girls like the idea of being a "sugar mama".
Since someone mentioned sex on MDMA, I feel obligated to throw out sex on mephedrone 
But honestly, I'm not sure what to say other than "whatever makes you happy". However it sure doesn't seem to me that SSRIs are providing you with wholesome happiness, and that there's something missing. It could well be sex  You could look at boosting testosterone while staying on SSRIs, that will help a ton. Exercise helps me, and I'm sure diet is important, but there's more ways to raise your T than just those two.
But in any case, hope you find whatever it is you're missing, if I was right in thinking that. I'm sure once you are outta school, and outta the house, that things will seem MUCH better.

I have a strong libido and I hate it because I am terrible with women 
This XD
Sorry to hear that. My low sex drives seems to increase women's attraction to me. Just remembber than females are people too, not just a vagins with a bunch of useless stuff attached, which is how a lot of guys seem to think of girls based on the way they often often talk about them

Oh believe me, I know. I cant believe I got away with it for as long as I did. I have one girl who flies me out to San Francisco all expenses paid, but she couldn't afford to be a full time sugar mama... plus she is a bit fat

Honestly I think I have high testosterone levels because of how hairy and naturally muscular I am. It role in the sexual arousal process just get suppressed significantly by SSRIs

Who, me?? No, mephedrone is even more arousing and entactogenic (touch-enhancing) than MDMA, if you can believe that's possible

thanks for posting in this thread, all of your posts are gold 
morrow i'm pretty fascinated that SSRIs seem to help you as much as they do. all the other benefits you seem to get from them seem like they're worth it. i personally couldn't stand them when i tried them but i'd get really bad physical side effects.
since it doesn't really seem to be bothering you i think you have the right idea to keep taking them as long as you feel comfortable, and then maybe when you finish school you can rethink them if you want.

In the past I have always just fallen into relationships. Some girl will magically come into my life and obviously be very attracted to me and I just let it happen. They have always been the type of girls who were extremely low maintenance, in fact in some cases they were maintaining me somewhat.
Now that I'm in grad school I doubt any of the women are interested in a guy who lives with his parents and makes $1000 a month and has an almost daily drug habit
i can dig that, i'm in a similar situation except i'm not in grad school, i'm basically still in year one in community college 
seems like you still live responsibly though, which is good. i don't think that many people would be TOO put off by your habits (i struggle trying to tell myself the same thing) i do harder drugs somewhat frequently but i still get things done. i really wonder how much girls would or wouldn't be put off by that.
Loss of libido- is it necessarily a bad thing?
I'm gonna say no, if it doesn't bother you.
this!
and i was being serious. i thought we were friends... i was gonna let you help me bang my chick.
now im all like 
im takin her fat ass and goin home...

morrowasted said: I'm 24. I've been on SSRI/SNRI antidepressants almost perpetually since age 15. I have a very low sex drive. I never do anything in an effort to try to have sex. I don't even look at porn. Not because I'm morally indignant. I just don't care.
Why do people make such a big deal out of losing their libido? It seems to me like it causes more problems than it solves
I would hate having a low libido and adore drugs that increase it. I absolutely love having a high libido. It motives me to meet and engage people I otherwise wouldn't, form relationships etc. I imagine if I didn't have such a high libido I would spend a lot more time wasting away in front of my computer which I think is a bad thing.
Obviously you don't miss what you don't know but damn, I kinda feel bad for you lol
Edit: I know what it's like to have a low libido from using opiates, it's fucking shit.

Not Responding said: that sucks. well shit man. i dunno. i guess focus on building a healthy friendship with a female. lower your bar a bit too... dont even think about sex, just focus on her. nature will always poke a few butts without you even knowing. before you know it! BAM!
I thought the point of OP was that he never thinks about sex?
It's not a problem if you don't think it's a problem man. Fuck what anyone says, be happy not constantly craving a blowjob/rimjob/shitjob. It's highly distracting in many situations.
On a personal level I think I might be slightly less of a fucked up person if I didn't have such a high sex drive and literally thought about sex all day. But I don't know. SSRI's made me feel more fucked up.
