Drives

Today, and for months now, the meds that stop me from killing myself have killed my sex drive. My boyfriend, being stressed at work, initially assured me that his was also non existent and not to worry. I found out he's been wanking every day and hiding it from me so I don't feel bad. Now I know, I feel fucking awful. FML

don't feel awful, this is just one of those things...my doctor said the one pill I'm on, (sertraline if you're wondering, I probably spelled it wrong though) has success with sex drive if you give it time, ive been taking them for a few months now and definitely notice that I'm able to get horny more often than when I first started. TMI I know but I really hope this helps. also, your boyfriend is sweet because I know plenty of guys who wouldn't be able to keep their mouths shut and would be upset with you for not putting out. I think he genuinely understands and didn't want to add more pressure on you so he told a little white lie. just hang in there, shit will get better over time

At least he's wanking by himself, right? He's not getting any help, is he?

Everyone wanks hiding from other’s back.

Talk to your doctor about exploring some other medications or even dosage size of your current one that may increase your libido, if that’s something you truly want.

I’m sure this story is mor complicated, but I think you have a considerate boyfriend and want to point that out. Sorry, but the male sex drive is what it is. He is doing what he has to to get by and he’s doing it in a way to not hurt you. Not exactly chivalry in its plainest term, but it is considerate. Don’t feel bad about it, but look at what you have in him and consider yourself blessed.

So don't comment then, you sociopath.

I'm female and my ex had the same reasons as you, op, while i have a high drive. It's frustrating, but i did the same as your bf because i have needs and i could only choose between diy, exploding or leaving him for another guy. I did leave him for other reasons, but i just want you to know, your bf chose the best option out of all - helping himself to stay with you and not bother you.

Well, at least he wasn't banging some other girl.
