I used to be very sexual especially during a mania but now I’m completely devoid of even the slightest desire. Even affection. Is it aging or meds or something else? What do you think?
Well depends on your gender. Male libido tends to decrease with age. Female libido actually tends to increase! This leads to a lot of sexual problems in relationships later down the road. Generally to someone on any kind of psych med, if there are libido issues I would generally say it’s the med as it is a VERY COMMON problem, unless you’ve been on that med a long time and it never gave you libido issues before and now you’re suddenly having them. There are so many things that can affect libido outside of that too though.
Since I take an antipsychotic, I have almost no libido or any sexual desire. It is clearly for me, in my case, a problem of medication.
I’ve been on most of my meds for a long time but started lithium. Maybe that’s the one. Not that I mind. Relationships are work anyway. And most men I’ve dated turn out to be users. I am a bleeding heart.
I am female. I used to be very sexual too. Especially when manic. I was almost always both manic, and suicidal and depressed, at the same time, throughout my life, until 2004, when my mood evened out. Since 2011, I have been asexual and totally celibate. And I am much happier this way. With me, it is both meds and religion.

yes meds are making a big difference.
I can’t stop despite the meds. Even on injections of over 300 mg I’d be shooting out fertilizer daily.
One thing though is that instead of decreasing like @Anna said, I’ve actually increased with age! I’m like some kind of monster lol. That might be to taking vitamin B & D though. Which I wasn’t getting enough of for too long.
How old are you? I believe the libido decrease starts happening in late middle age and older. Like 50’s and on. It supposedly peaks in young adulthood and lasts that way until then for guys.

I’m 25 so I guess that’s right lol
I was a sl## when I was younger but it was others in my body and it was not my will.
I was celibate five years after I had cancer.
I did not really madtubate either.
My bf and I do not get jiggi often.
Not even every week.
I have early menopause.
I love being with my man and getting jiggi but he does not seem to want me taking initiative too often.
We cuddle a lot though.
Every day we cuddle and give each other a kiss but not tounge kiss.
I am happy with him.
I want to improve myself and get silicon tits cause he loves big tots and I may love em too.
I cannot afford it and it could take years for me to save for it.
I am not a sexual but I am satisfied .
It is a loving peaceful home.
I love his dogs and pets/babies and we do not really fight .
I was thinking we would have sex more often but I am ok as it is now as he has pain in his body pretty often.
Good wishes for our love/sex lives
Lmao i like that word “jiggi”
I knew a girl who was about 14 and before she gained a bunch of weight I wonder if she had fake boobs cuz they were at least a double d and she always perked them up so I don’t know if they were fake or she was naturally big chested. She flaunted them to me cuz I was older but I did not like the attention. She also had pretty low bf and could see the curves in her deltoid and back as if she were a model. Strange…
Yeah yours should still be pretty dang high

When my meds are off, as they are presently, I don’t know whether I need more meds or less meds.
J.
Yeah it’s the meds. Me too…
I’m completely Asexual. Have been for about 17 years. No sex, no lusting, no Masturbation. I’m completely content in not having sex at all… It’s just hard trying to find someone who accepts that of me.

write that in your dating profile. Lots of people who do not like sex.
Its the meds for me
Im male also asexual. But I’m having masturbation only. I dont like it…
I find the subject of sex distasteful. I will be quite happy if i never had sex again.
Since I started my meds again my desire went away - which was a problem because I just got married at the time. Nowadays I just have intercourse to please my husband, not because I want it. Im quite happy without it. I never climaxed once in sex ever. Unfortunately I gave in to desire occasionally when I lay in bed and stimulated myself but each time I did I was so disgusted I wanted to gag. I really would love if I lived without sexual desire.
I love kissing hubby on the cheeks and hugging him though. Im very affectionate but not sexual.
