So about two years ago, my libido switched to working not at all. Its previous stage was working-half-assed for most of my adult life. Psych-meds were (and probably still are) a factor.
I kinda hoped itâs going to be wheeee! Iâm ace! GARLIC BREAD!
Alas, no.
But I now have two noteworthy phenomena:
The first is Iâll look at something erotic. Usually porn. Thereâs lots of porn available, and my brain goes this is important. It means something to me and tries to decipher it like a 70s era acid rock album cover or a Salvador Dali painting. Itâs not titillating⌠not quite. Itâs like someone gave me a post-hypnotic suggestion years ago and I accidentally came across the triggering image, but that subconscious code is faint and sepia now and gives me strange impulses.
The other phenomenon is when my brain goes HORNY and Iâll look at porn and it skips right over it. HORNY! Itâs like the zombies deciding Homer Simpson doesnât have enough brains to be interesting, thereâs no sexy in these curves. Nor these. Nor these. Everything is all wrong! This is super frustrating, and sometimes Iâm compelled to keep looking for the stimulus that has the right pins in the right order to turn the lock.
I understand Leon now, Nothing is worse than having an itch you can never scratch!
Sadly this was a factor in my separation with my wife. We still see each other once a week for dinner. Itâs a zesty blend of complicated and tragic, the kind that happens while

thatâs rough but as a stranger I appreciate the insight, what about meds ie: viegra ?

Viagra and Cialis worked when I was younger and probably would work still. But theyâre not covered by Medicare-D and are very expensive to purchase.
Not wholly off the table, though, if we get lucky and find a source.

Really? Thatâs sus. Seems more likely you just posted an older version and the newer one is a modified version OP posted.

Me (a man):
Wakes up⌠âHmmm. I really have to pee.â
My brain: âHorny! HORNY NOW!â
Me: âWhat?! No! Why??? Ughhh!!â

Finnastride can help with this according to Hasanabi.

i feel this is usually a bigger problem when you have a dick.
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Why? Gets physically in the way? Canât, like⌠Do pusâups?
pyre@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
having to deal with a boner when you donât want it is an annoyance.
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
thatâs a common belief, but it varies a lot by individual, with many women having higher sex drives than men
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
The researchers propose to measure affect in terms of how easily you get aroused when faced with a sexual stimulus or situation. Likewise, behavior involves the frequency of sexual acts. And finally, cognition has to do with how often you think about sex.
thatâs actually really interesting that thereâs different categories of sex drives
pyre@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
i actually wasnât talking about men vs women; i was talking about having a dick vs not, specifically because of having to deal with a boner during the day⌠but apparently some trans people who start taking T can get overwhelmed with how much it horns them up so i donât know; maybe itâs anecdotally true even.
other than that Iâve always believed itâs (at least mostly) social conditioning though.
oplkill@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
for man its easier and faster to release that horny statement
pyre@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
yeah but itâs kinda frowned upon by the people around
MissJinx@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm a woman and I disagree
macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
No, pyre is correct.
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
itâs not exactly the same as a full understanding but my transmasc friends labido in the first year of T was much worse than my first year of E (so far atleast)
however my emotion regulation is WAYYYY worse than his was
neither of us would get off HRT for the world though.
pyre@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
yeah but now i have two people with reference points to both feminine and masculine hormonal makeup that agree with my assumption so Iâm gonna believe them moreâŚ
⌠not because they have unique perspectives but because they reaffirm my previously held beliefs
henfredemars@infosec.pub â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I have a sample size of one trans friend who started taking male hormones and felt it completely overwhelming. He was absolutely astounded by how intense it was for months on end until he felt he built up some mental fortitude.
Clearly, itâs not an ideal comparison, and personal experiences are highly individual but I found their experience interesting.
shneancy@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
as another trans guy i can confirm, T took my libido from âmid, horny sometimesâ to âI GET HORNY EVERY DAY AND IF I DONâT FIX IT I LITERALLY CANNOT FOCUSâ, in the span of like, no time, literally started with the first or injection
stoicmaverick@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I would be fascinated to talk to this person. As a straight cis male dude guy, this is just all day, every day. Iâd be like hearing someone describe the sun whoâs never been outside before in the whole life.
pyre@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
thanks for sharing; itâs wildly interesting! heâs one of a small number of people who can speak for two different modes of physical/hormonal makeup.

Well then, itâs a beautiful day to be horny I guess đ¤ˇââď¸
Thassodar@sh.itjust.works â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Coincidentally itâs my birthday, so itâs a beautiful horny day
synae@lemmy.sdf.org â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
happy birthday, ya horndog
lath@piefed.social â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
True. A good, safe environment will kickstart your baby making hormones into overdrive.
sxan@midwest.social â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I thought it was the opposite: dangerous situations kicked the hormones into overdrive?
lath@piefed.social â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
You're not going to believe this, but it can be both. For different reasons.

EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Eh, depends on the person. Iâm ace and donât really feel it mentally but my body will respond to things so I generally just find it to be an inconvenience. Though sometimes my partner and I get a good laugh about it because Iâll not realize it sometimes and sheâll notice before me.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
you are no-fap because you have an unhealthy relationship to sex
i am no-fap because i plant to die like a male bee: nutting so hard my balls explode
