I **** hate some off the pills my partner has to take. In 2025 we had sex only 3 times. I am so darned horny sometimes but get no help. Bought toys to do it myself but it is not the same.

He had his dokter subscribe some kind off 'blue pill' ( not the famous one but like that ). His libido is so low he did not even bother to take one.

Even his sexsomniac nights are reduced to almost nothing. He sometimes has his 'feel if it is a woman next to me' move. And the 'nipples need to be there' move. But no wood for me even so that i am manually trying to get him to show his growing capacities. Frustrating to be awakend for nothing.

And than a few weeks ago i went to his gaming room and noteced him on porn. With a erection in the hand stroking his way to enjoyment. I felt really unwanted there. I don t care for the porn ( stupid soft stuff. boring imo ) i was more upset he did not come to me to have his way with me.

So i would say... A dickie ... yes i remember.

This is only my experience, so take what follows for what it's worth (not much).

I have been in the same situation as your partner (though I had sex with my partner more ofte, but still way less than before medication).

Simply put, I was ashamed of my low libido and not in a good headspace even with my medication( which was supposed to help).

I was so ashamed that I didn't want to initiate sex with my partner. It was not rational, but that is how I felt at the time. And I would sometime watch porn so that I could get the dopamine I would get from sex, without the shame.

I know it won't make you feel better, but hopefully you can have a different perspective on how your partner might feel and get, hopefully, a new track to find a solution to your problems.

Also, there are some medications that can help with libido (Wellbutrin if I remember correctly). Might be worth it for your partner to check with his doctor.

Porn will kill a guys attraction to normal looking women. I have no idea why people act like its a good thing to watch it.

It literally trains your brain to constantly need more dopamine. So sure, maybe now its soft stuff, but that will not be enough in six months. Thats how it works.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

I've never had a problem being attracted to normal women. For me what it kills is my tolerance for being shot down. Like if I don't expect they'll reciprocate my advances I'm not going to bother. It's nice because it also means I'm not doing a bunch of shit I don't really want to do in the first place in the hopes of a minimal chance of getting laid. I'll hang out with women I think are cool and If someone I like comes onto me I'm happy to oblige them but otherwise I'm content to mind my own business and just do whatever else I want. No need to bring sex into it if they're not hyped about it anyway.

I'm in this meme and I don't like it.

jk I don't have a girlfriend

[-] Emi@ani.social 2 points 1 week ago

For me they did not kill my sex drive but made me unable to cum. But the psychiatrist said that since I don't have a girlfriend so that's not a problem right?

"Yeah, thanks for rubbing it in Doc..."

Edging is great, if you cum at the end of the session.

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

I had a couple of ADHD pills that made it painful when I came. After trying a few, I found a good one and my cums are normal now.

Just try different pills until you find one that works for you.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

lol that simple.

[-] Emi@ani.social 0 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I said it is a problem for me cuz it's frustrating and got different meds that just make it bit harder to cum. Still no gf tho.

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Fortunately, you're only disappointing yourself. Find the right meds now so when you find her, there would be no problems.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I'd rather be depressed and still be able to cum than whatever benefits anti depressants are going to offer. I'm pretty sure most of my depression is due to the state of the world anyway. Pills aren't gonna change that.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

ahh yes, "just be happy" logic.

sometimes the depression is so heavy that the only thoughts one has is to end it all because the pain is so unbearable.

imagine losing a limb and the pain is so great that no matter the amount or strength of pain killers you take, the pain won't stop.

but yeah, totally worth it to experience that just so you can rock out with your cock out.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I was speaking for myself bud. If drugs help you great. I don't want them.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And sex isn’t the only side effect. There are plenty.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My favorite is when the guy goes off his meds

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My SSRIs make everything take longer. A lot longer. We're both like dead tired before finishing.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Do you really need a sex drive to enjoy titties? 🤔

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I dropped my meds cold turkey when that happened like a decade ago, and told my current GP I'd do it again if he put me on anything that affected my libido.

He showed me though, I'm pretty sure my libido is up after getting the dosage sorted.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

that shit is fucked up man, "the zaps" for coming off anti-deps are a month+ long pain.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Three months for me. I’ll never go near one again.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I kind of learned to enjoy the zaps lol.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

IDK, it was a generic ass SSRI.

The question is: Did your depression cause your sex drive, or did your sex drive cause your depression, or are these two entirely unrelated and only coincidentally correlated?

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Some types of antidepressants have a very common side effect where they massively reduce (sometimes to the point of completely eliminating) your sex drive. It's a really shitty tradeoff.

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Worst is that some medication will kill your orgasm. So you get your libido back, but you don't get to enjoy your orgasm anymore.
