My sex drive seems to cycle???

Okay, I notice that during some parts of the month I feel as if I will go crazy if I don’t have sex. Other parts of the month I can go days without that feeling. Anyone else seem to have a monthly cycle?

Of course. Moon cycles have an obvious effect on me as well. I plan important events around my “cycle” I am pretty close to knowing exactly when I am going to have ups and downs.

Like I was saying, my sex drive seems to vary in intensity monthly. Right now I’m getting that “if I don’t have sex I’ll go insane” feeling. Arrrgggghhhh!!!

It also has to do with your diet. Look into foods that affect your sex drive. Alcohol for example, if drunken in excess will kill your sex drive for a day or so.

I go through spurts where I don’t jerk off or have sex for days and days because I just don’t feel like it. Then I go through spurts where I feel like I need to get off 5 times a day because my sex drive is so high.

I`m the same way.

But how low is your sexdrive when you are in one of those cycles?

Personally, my sexdrive gets so low that I literally do NOT care about girls at all. I could almost have a naked girl in my room and not care at all.

Is that normal? :)

I’ve found that my sex drive will remain quite high if I refrain from orgasm. I can do periods of edging while in this high-arousal state, and sexual thoughts seem to occupy many of my waking hours.

However, if I should orgasm, all interest in sex is lost completely for several days. When I’m in that post-orgasmic state, watching porn or viewing any sort of sexual image is not just boring, it is really distasteful and almost disgusting to me. For this reason, I avoid orgasm as much as possible, to avoid falling into that dark pit.

Anyone else have those sorts of extreme mood swings?

This is day three after an unplanned orgasm (edging gone awry), and I’m slowly becoming interested in sex again.

I don’t think it’s just factors like diet and frequency of orgasm. It is thought in some medical circles that males have their own form of PMS. I believe that is the case with me.

Mine will seem to cycle also but it will go over a period of weeks. I can feel pretty good for several weeks then I will feel a little mood change and it will cool for a few days or even a week or so.

Now my sex drive is still very weak and not where it should be for someone my age (44) but if anyone is familiar with my history, I’m just glad to feel a little bit from where I’ve came from.

Yes same here.

Diet can be a factor, consider other factors as well, such as: stress, anger, sleep, lifestyle, feeling etc

Since this seems pretty normal, I am curious. How low does your sex drive go during these periods?

I guess this depends on your baseline sexdrive.

Personally, my sexdrive can in periods get so low that I literally don`t care about sex at all.

Just curious if this is normal.
