Interesting that the article mentioned BC pills as a culprit. I'm 200 times hornier when I'm not taking them, but I thought it was all in my head.

I blame porn its way too easy to acess these days and has made women not care about Men:laugh:

 

In what twisted form of logic do you go from the easy access of porn (99% of which is for men) to making women not care about men?

 

And I will assume the laughing face was being rhetorical because based on the number of threads on this site about sexless relationships, it is far from a laughing matter.

I'm pretty sure he was sarcastically making fun of all the anti-porn threads that have gone on in this forum. And as far as the link goes, that's a damn shame. What's wrong with women nowadays??

I was joking taking a jab at JS and her anti porn crusade

No, I think most women are just turned off by the fact that most guys they come across are likely to get STDs because they sleep around.

 

I'll have you know at age 20, I'm still very sexually driven but there are not enough worthy candidates out there that I'm willing to bed without coming off as an ONS.

Women are also more picker then men when it coems to looks staus everything..

 

Though if the guys extremely good looking they seem to not care as much about potential std's or wondering how many women hes been with

i agree that the toxins women put into ther bodies, moreso now than in the past, have alot to do with libido.

 

toxins like BC, anti-D's, chemicals in foods and water, other medicines. and people are not as physically healthy as they were just 10 years ago.

Theres holes in this theory becasue women liking confident smooth talking guys with high status wouldnt be so prevalent if women were so deathly afraid of STD's in lookign for a partner because chances are that guy has had many partners and high chance of STD..

 

Women would be more into the shy kinda of guy who is less likely to have allot of partners and std's which is not the case..

Really?

 

I started wondering about this yesterday after I picked up a new supply of bc.....I've always had a low sex drive, and I've been on the same pill for nearly 3 years now.

 

I'm considering asking about it but should I can't be bothered going all the way back just to ask a question. Muh.

It's funny you mention that because I know a lot of guys who make the same complaint about women regardless of whether it is true.

Never experienced a drop in sex drive on BC, but I know some say they do.

 

I think for me, worrying less about accidental pregnancy made it easier to focus on my own sexual enjoyment.

The only times I've experienced a drop in my sex drive is when I'm not happy with the way I'm treated in a relationship or they just cared much less about my own enjoyment than their own. It only makes it harder to have these concerns validated when media pushes ready made excuses for crappy partners to pin it on.

 

With anti depressants, there are lots of reports of a decrease in sex drive - for all users. Not just women. And not just American women.

But then - depressed people care less about life in general including sex. So go figure. I write off most of these studies due to bias and sensationalism.

No, it's a separate issue from the actual depression and it's measured by establishing a baseline before starting treatment with an SSRI. It's a real side effect, not something invented by the media.

Just more proof that women say one thing but mean & do something else.

So no one with depression experiences a lack of interest in sex prior to being on anti depressants? I took one to quit smoking one time and noticed nothing about a change to my sex drive. Wellbutrin. I figure it varies from individual to individual, but that since I wasn't depressed, I might experience a drop due to the prescription. I experienced nothing but a lack of want for cigs and periods of waking in the night.

No, that's not what I'm talking about. I mean that they measure the baseline when someone is depressed and then see the effects after treatment, and there is an effect. In a significant percentage of people, to varying degrees. The effect sometimes remains even after the depression itself has gone into remission but the treatment continues (or in rare cases, even after the treatment ends).

Men can watch our porn and we can leave women alone. Everybody is happy.

 

Speak for yourself. I love the real thing. Do you also like blowup dolls?

I am just joking. I love the real thing as well but I am just poking fun at the anti-porn zealots. I think the women who think men are so horrible though should embrace men choosing porn over the real thing.

no offense, but with you its impossible to tell whether you are joking or not. You seem like the type to take life too seriously and to take every comment literally.

I blame the double standard. Women are rewarded if they are chaste the first few dates and then all of a sudden when they get the "green light" they are supposed to be as good as a porn star sexually. They hold back their lustful feelings lest they be judged a ho. I blame the attitudes of men for this problem. Not male bashing here, just an observation. A man that truly allows a woman to be all she can be is a rare find.

People start having sex so early in life now that by the time they are 18 it is "old hat" and that could be the reason they have lost interest. It will come back and if it doesn't if it isn't bothering them then who cares?

This is an excellent point. I have had a relationship with only ONE MAN who truly had next to no hangups about sex and did not judge me or any other woman for enjoying sex.

 

No surprise, our sex was the most passionate and freeing that I had ever had, by a long shot.

UGH, in the last few months I have lost my sex drive due to porn. My husband's recurring habit with it that is. I really don't care too much if I ever hav sex again and that is really sad because I loved sex much mor than most guys. When you are underappreciated in the extreme, you just don't feel like it anymore.

 

And as for the status comment etc. Those were never the guys I was after but perhaps I should have been, I may have gotten laid more often. Maybe women go for those guys because they aren't the ones stuck behind a computer 24/7, they go OUTSIDE AND DO THINGS.
