Masturbation habits will not change your sex drive. However, if you go for a long time without ejaculating, the fluids and such will build up and your body will make you ejaculate through a wet dream or any other type of release. I suppose this could be considered an increase in sex drive, but not really in my book. Also, it is possible to wear yourself out if you masturbate a lot, but within a day or two you'll be back to normal as your body can replace sperm rather quickly.

Overall, don't worry about your sex drive. Every guy goes through ups and downs in sex drive and need, and the case would have to be extremely severe to be outside of the normal envelope. For example, if you were saying, "I have ZERO sex drive, and cannot even produce and maintain an erection", you would have cause for worry. Since you seem capable of masturbation, you're probably just fine.

batman is right (as superheroes usually are) - your sex drive will go through ups and downs depending upon lots of things - diet, environment, stress, how much sleep you're getting. Weather affects me sometimes even! And it's different for everyone.

It might also be because sometimes you just need something to 'get you started.' This is definetely the case for me because i'm very much a doing person - I become 'motivated' to do things by doing them. I'm the same way with sex. I might not be in the mood at all until a few kisses and a few light touches, and then... boom! I'm horny as all hell Erotica works in the same way... if you think and act sexually, it works wonders. I can get myself extremely worked up just by visualising a scenario in my head, or sending my partner a dirty txt/email telling them everything I want to do to them when I get home.

I've noticed a few different posts from you in the past couple of days, about a few different topics. It sounds like there's a lot on your mind at the moment, which can be a contributing factor to libido (or lack thereof)
