I have struggled with my sexuality for a long time and I am just starting to come to terms with the possibility that I might be bisexual or gay. One thing that is SO frustrating to me, however, is that while I want to be having sex, my body doesn't seem to react. I have very little libido and I don't get "turned" on even though mentally I'm enjoying what is happening.
Does that make any sense? Has that happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do? Note: I am on birth control and an SSRI which does have a negative affect... __________________ Female, 20, queer/questioning Dx: Anxiety & Depressive Disorder Rx: 80 mg Prozac, 5 mg Abilify be gentle with yourself.
you are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. |

SSRI's can have a negative effect. That may in fact be part of it. Good sex is more about thoughts than anything. The physical often follows, not the other way around.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
