Ok so i need to ask y’all a question… does ur depression affect ur sex drive??
Im married right, and it feels like i have zero sex drive. My wife is asking if im gay, ( her dad came out as gay after 12 years of marriage). I reckon we have had sex like twice this year!its not that i dont want too, it just never comes into my brain. Im on anti depressants and i know that can reduce sex drive.
Im also an opiate addict on methadone, & im pretty sure this can affect too .
Eithet way, does anyone experience this.. please dont tell me im alone in this thing.
Ps. I know for a fact im not gay. Tried it once at 19 and its not me.

Yes on both counts. Or rather all three counts. Psc meds, depression and opioid can all effect sex drive.
FTR this gals dry spell has been months due to early menopause so I totally understand. I have to literally put this shit on my calendar then I’m still like meh…I’d rather watch Netflix.
What’s a sex drive?
im a virgin…i dont even like sex TBH. i prefer fetishism
I know for a fact that antidepressants like Prozac can kill your sex drive, and being depressed decrease it to.
sex is gross. i really dont undeerstand you guys..
sex is so weird…. and yeah fairly disgusting. Some fetishes do seem fun though….
@Mad-eye, I don’t like it too. It IS gross and painful, painful as hell I would say, and it gives me no pleasure except this fucking pain. However, it makes my boyfriend super happy – and because of this I try to “be into it”, if we can say so. I understand you.
welp I also don’t have a sex drive, but I would assume that depression could probably really reduce a sex drive…. I also know a lot of meds can…. I personally wouldn’t consider it a bad thing though as it seems like wanting to have sex would be annoying and get in the way of things…. Maybe if you want to have more sex you could explain to your wife that she needs to initiate more? That is an idea that could help I guess -_- Maybe….
Yes, depression and also pych meds can in FACT lower sex drive.
If you want to get your sex life back > get off the meds. Leave it alone for a couple weeks… and you’ll be ready to go with your partner.
Well.. least im not alone. Thanks for ur input. Much appreciated.
Hey man. I am not even in a mood to hit on a girl. I am not even thinking about sex. I’ve been in situation like this before. The thing is this time is going too far long. Also opiates are not helping your situation.
anti-depressants can definitely cause this, and depression as well. i’ve had some periods of time i haven’t thought about sex because i was in such pain, but mostly i’m horny, even though i’m in pain these days too. well, i’m a bunny after all! lol
