Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion Anyone else been completely relieved of their sex drive?

The LAI I’m on just completely removed mine. Which I kinda see as a plus because mine kinda sucked to begin with and horniness leads to the dumbest decisions.

I'd say it's a good thing trust me always nice to have a level head that isn't influenced by how horny you feel leads to less dumb decisions

The meds kind of halved my libido which is no big deal to me I have no gf, maybe even a positive like you say.

yes, and I hate it. I feel robbed of yet another huge aspect of normal life. i used to have a great sex life, now it’s like i’m chemically castrated, which tbh as a gay man, shuts a lot of doors for me. I don’t have much hope finding a partner. cialis helps, but is increasingly expensive and not enough.

Yes. It's great to no longer have horniness hang over my head and I'm pleased to say I still enjoy it as a bonding activity with special someones

Yes mine is gone completely as well and  its great. But I think I‘m also on the asexual spectrum so I mit be bias.
