I feel like I'm becoming less and less interested in s*x the older I get

I used to love it. Is this normal? I certainly don't like feeling this way. However, I also am developing an interest in intellectual stuff more. Not sure if they're related.

And guys mostly want sex so I dunno how I'm ever going to keep a man if I become an asexual.

Kinda having an existential crisis

Research suggests that women between the ages of 27 and 45 frequently report their highest levels of sexual interest, satisfaction, and fantasy

@pdockal Oh I know I'm not like most women, for reasons other than that. Most women are late bloomers and I'm not

@Jexie

I wouldn't call it late bloomers
Just reality
But we're all different

Research suggests that people between the ages of 1 and 120 often change their minds about things and experience changes in their environment and situations.

It sounds like the levels of those hormones dropped for you. And I can't talk for everyone but when I was temporarily asexual, my interests broadened. So I'd say it is related. It makes you see things in a different way for sure.

@CrazyMusicLover Everything is not as new anymore and my stress levels have gone up so yes. I want a manly nerd if that's possible lol. But that's reassuring. What made it temporary for you?

@Jexie Not sure if this will be helpful to you because I don't care about sex as such. When I say asexual, I mean inability to be sexually aroused at all. Like not being able to get off.

I really don't know what happened, it was strange. I blamed it on BCP but I was taking it before and still take it now so the reason must be elsewhere, maybe stress or chronic pain and physical issues that lasted for 6 months. First I went to a physiotherapist and had massages, then I started avoiding the news and controlling myself to not be that reactive to every BS I read or hear. I noticed that every time I felt rage and hate I felt it in my abdominal muscles and that had to affect muscles in my pelvis too. I kind of had to learn to be more chilled out and to not care because it turned out to be unhealthy to me. I truly don't know if it was related or just coincidence but I felt as if someone removed the part in my brain that is responsible for sexual arousal, romantic attraction, love and all that stuff. I even lost the ability to feel nostalgia and other more complex emotions.

Anyway, that itself didn't fix it, I eventually had to "force it" and I did it by deciding to watch porn, as weird as it sounds. It worked. Might be TMI but for the first time it wasn't about watching something because of the desire but watching to inspire the desire in the first place. It was like the body and mind forgot and had to relearn.

@CrazyMusicLover Oh that's interesting

Go to a doctor to enquire about it. It could be a symptom of an underlying condition.

Maybe it's stress related? Here it goes below zero whenever I am
Jexie · 26-30, F
@Elessar I'm definitely chronically stressed. And less happy go lucky than when I was younger. I do fluctuate in how I feel but I mostly only like lovey dovey stuff now. Except when I'm genuinely horny but I take care of that myself.
