I've only read about people with depression losing their sex drives due to the side effects of mediation...have any of you lost interest in sex with NO medication?

 

Thanks xx

It's very common. When you're depressed, nature puts you into survival mode. Your body and psyche may concentrate on only the essentials - sleep and eating. Sex becomes a trivial concern.

YES!  I"m 42, male, and have always had a healthy sex drive, except when in one of my moods.  I occasionally find that even though my interest is there, my physiological response isn't.  Sometimes because my focus wavers, my erection does too.

Yep I am a male aged 26 who used to think he had a strong sex drive but now feel completely without libido. I was diagnosed with clinical depression about a year ago.

 

It really sucks because all my friends are single and sex is all they talk about, which really distresses me.

 

Just hoping it will come back soon.
