I used to get depressed thinking about sex. But since I've been celibate and don't have to think about it anymore, OMG, I am so happy!

I hope you don't mind me asking Tany, but would the right person have made a difference, or do you feel you were asexual in nature?
If it's too personal please forgive me. It's just that I find the whole concept interesting.

I don't really know if the "right" person would have made a difference or not. Sex has never been a big deal for me so I guess I've never really given myself the chance or opportunity to find out.

Well, I think sexual attraction is quite complex Of course, the whole physical aspect is important but as you know, there is more to attraction than that. Looking deep into the person and finding compassion, kindness, and respect is what I feel is so important. People will always notice outer beauty, but in the end it's the inner beauty I'm most attracted to and that is what sparks the emotional attraction and makes the right person a big deal for me

Hmmm. I've been on an SSRI for... umm... over 10 years now. If there was any change in my libido, it was mild. I still want a reasonable (at least 3x a week... more if convenient to both me and my partner) amount of GOOD sex (good being the keyword, here), and I never feel bad afterward.
I suppose a person addicted to all the endorphins and such released during sex might have a hard time "coming down"? Like back in my drug days it was hell coming down from certain hallucinogenics.
In fact, good sex can be quite a mood elevator, IMO.
