About low libido…I guess I’m stuck with some weird environmental factors. Having struggled with compulsive porn-use, I’ve worked to go through long periods without it. I realized porn elevated my desire for sex. I don’t know what my baseline would have been, had I not grown up with porn, but after abstinence periods, my drive becomes quite low. I only care for sex sessions 1-2x a week as it drains my energy a lot. I imagine I’d want to bang all the time only if I was touching a naked woman in my bed every day, but 2 sessions a week in my late 20s was enough.

Three thoughts i take out of this.The body lowering it's libido as a precaution to prevent harmful experiences. Establish a emotional connection, make yourself emotionaly vulnerable, before getting physical. And having sex is by no means a "everything is fine" signal for the relationship, in contrary it could have a separating effect.
btw. the moment the cursor moved was pretty satisfying. ^^

@matt, if you see this, (or anyone else for that matter)...would you happen to have a link to the test you mentioned on "sexual preoccupation depression and self esteem?" i'm interested in checking it out, but am having trouble finding it! :)

I’m 100% with Matt. No topic should be taboo, especially not something as important as sex (or religion or politics). Ideally, everyone would always discuss in good faith.
