Q: Sudden loss of sex drive ?

asked by: Dimension5 on April 30th, 2009

Since last April my sex drive seems to have simply got up and marched out the door. I was at work and simply had the thought from "nowhere" that I did not want sex anymore,is this really strange? From someone who has enjoyed a varied sex life to this. Will it ever return, I am starting to be concerned as I hardly think about it
and PLEASE(no offence intended)but no GAY comments had many on another forum.I am starting to panic.

My partner and I had split amicably the October before and everything was functioning normally and still is as far as the morning glory tells me?

Help,

Decreased libido can be caused by many things, including certain drugs, depression, anxiety, etc. I would suggest seeing your doctor since you're concerned.

Doctors will only give you pills which will worsen the situation, it's all mental. Try to adjust to new environment as a single and go get them:) Libido is 95% mental, you're probably scared of new sexual relationships, that's normal and it will pass...

Its GONE...where

Thanks, not been to see a doctor or on pills but guess that behind the scenes you are saying to relax. I am 42 and retired, I have a fairly easy life now but stopped travelling last year. Before I lived in hotels constantly but my partner asked me to come home. Sort of sad inside recently as it was me that could not adjust for my partner and she was wonderful and intelligent and gloriously womanly,I could breathe her shape,texture,voice, everything and loved to call her just to hear her say Hello,is this depression? Thanks for the words I hope clarity may come with your help.
