God, where to start...I'm a 17 year old male and love my girlfriend of 1 year very much, perhaps more than anyone right now. But for most of my teen life, I have not seemed to have found the same wild desire for sex as everyone else I know. When I'm with my girlfriend and we do things (although er havent had sex yet, just about everything else) its really fun and everything, but I don't lose myself in the moment like so many people describe. I kinda keep my head through the whole thing and dont feel totally horny.
I have felt this way even before my gf, I wasnt out there looking for sex, but i still wanted someone to love in my life. And as i said before i still love doing sexual things, it really turns me on, but only to a point. I dont know what the hell is wrong. At first I thought maybe i was gay somewhere inside but i dunno. Very few men have ever been attarctive to me, and even the ones who i think are good looking, ive never had any sexual desire for. I look at women and am very turned on and sexually attracted to. But when it comes down to doing it, that fire kinda dies.
I do masturbate occasionally (1 time a week or less). I thought maybe masturbating too much would hurt my sex drive or something? Because after i do it, im almost totally apathetic towards sex, i dont care. I get my drive back after a while, but its never enough to drive me wild with my girl or any other one. It seems my only sexual drive is from afar, and it is completely frustrating and making my life difficult. How am I suppose to make the girl I love happy if im not my happiest when im doing things with her? It tears me apart that i cant enjoy things as much as she does.
So i just wanna know if theres maybe something medically wrong with me? helpless case? other? I dunno, please help if you can.. ![]()


I have never prescribed accutane. Although I may at some point but I doubt it. The psychotropic nature of it makes me wonder how bad a skin condition need be to risk the side-effects. You may want to talk this over with your doctor. One of the earlier signs of depression is reduced libido. While you may be perfectly comfortable with your level of desire, you do ask. Accutane does inhibit sexual function.

I agree
Hmm... you might want to check this out...
Accutane
"Loss of pleasure"?? It could be something to ask your doctor about.
Yes, I am on a medication called Accutane if you have ever heard of it. But the problem does not lie with my sex drive in general...I can sit at home right now and think all day about things, but when it comes to doing them, the fire dies, its weird

Hi, Akuma!
Some people just seem to have a lower sex drive than others. However, if this is really a concern to you, you could consult your doctor. There could be a medical reason- such as a hormone imbalance- that could contribute to a lack of interest in sex.
Also, are you on any medications? Those can affect your sexual desire as well.
Take care.
