Still trying to determine that so I won’t answer. I do crave sex but my libido has always been on the low side. With meds though I think it’s affected even more. Might speak to a doctor about that.

Not interested in a partner or dating but I do have a libido, so I guess that means sexual.

I feel I fluctuate between the two so I did not vote. Currently I’m closer to asexual. But do crave connection and closeness with someone. I also do have trauma related to that. So. But when I was on abilify it made me hypersexual. Just started a new med and waiting to see what happens.

I found it helpful to stop thinking of my intrusive thoughts as good or bad, and instead come to see them as either wanted or unwanted. Sometimes there was a part of me that wanted them and a part that didn’t, which caused me to feel emotional distress. But I found other people who accepted the things that I was ashamed of, and that helped me to stop seeing them as bad or wrong. Once I stopped seeing them that way, the emotional charge wasn’t so bad, and it was easier to just think of them as unwanted. Sometimes acceptance is part of letting-go.

I’m not really interested in women on zyprexa. I was a predator on perphenazine. I dated a couple girls and hooked up with one on that drug. I’m almost glad my sex drive tampered down. I feel fine about not having a relationship or having sex.

In my 50’s I was almost obsessed with sex. It’s all I thought about, so much that I thought I had a sex addiction, I even bought the Basic Text of Sex Addicts Anonymous and read it and looked for meetings in my area. I wasn’t having physical sex with anyone, for the most part, at least not for free, but I looked at porn every chance I got, sometimes 6-8 times a day. Thank god when I reached my 60’s the obsession died down, now I can go days without watching porn, I forget all about it. No sex addiction, just a very horny phase in my life, lol. What a relief.
