18 year old male with no sexual desire?!


Question: I'm 18 years old, I just finished my first semester at college and I have virtually no or very little sexual desire. I didn't even realize until about a month ago this was unusual because I so rarely ever think about it. I do have mild depression, but I don't even think it's that bad. I don't take my meds anymore because they make me feel like there's something wrong with me. Is it normal not to want to have sex at all at my age or is there something wrong with me and could it be linked to my depression?

Serious answers only, please.

I think it's a little unusual. If you are very thin to the point of anorexic, that could have something to do with it. Also, depression will definitely affect your libido.
I believe once you meet a girl who turns you on this will change. Also, don't you have sexual dreams, especially wet dreams? Your body has to discharge old semen sooner or later. If that's not happening then maybe see a urologist and make sure your plumbing is all good.

It could be linked to your depression. Some medications (especially for depression) lesson sexual desire. If you have always been this way, then it could be medical. I would see a Dr. and have them do a Testosterone level to start with.

My girlfriend also experienced this problem, and was 20 before she really found any sex drive.

You may find a partner you bond with, on a platonic level initially, and as the trust grows find that your attraction develops as well. If not, then everyones different!

My girlfriends here as well, and she recommends experimenting a bit!

I would have the doctor run a testosterone check.
A normal 18 year old man is at his life's sexual peak. You should be thinking about sex all the time, and having alot of it.
Perhaps its a good thing not to be focused on sex at your age because it will help you move ahead of your peers emotionally, financially, in your career, etc. by not being so focused on "getting l--d".

You might be A-sexual.
