Guest guest Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I just had a thought about the libido issue in regards to PSSD--and, how I seem to walk around with no purpose--no motivation--and, so demoralized--and feeling like a non sexual person. Before, I describe my theory, which is below--I want to mention, that prior to developing my PSSD type sexual dysfunctions--about 6 hears ago--I had very reliable sexual experiences prior to PSSD--and my sexual desire and sexual response--were very consistent and very reliable--no matter how my mood changed or how my life was going--and, my sexual functioning was often, something I relied on when I was down--and remained consistently reliable for about 30 years--ever since puberty age. So, contrary to what the mental health establishment, would have me believe--my sexuality experiences, prior to PSSD were contrary to what psychology assumes and proposes--that ones ability to be sexual is adversely effected by ones mood--or, from any psychological illnesses--at least in my experiences. The following is just a theory, that I came up with and not something I read or heard. Could it be that normal people--especially men--are in a constant state of sexual stimulation--through out most of their life--and, that most of the time this state of stimulation is so minimal--as to not be noticed. And, this state of being stimulated--is increased by thoughts and images of opposite sex--and more so, by ever more stimulating circumstances and activities. And, so just going about ones daily activities--that have nothing to do with sexuality--could ones state of arousal be perodically reinforced--and, be fluctuating all the time--but, never drop to zero--but, most of the time--be so mild of arousal, to not be noticed. For example, before I developed my PSSD type of sexual dysfunctions--I recall--periodically having very brief sexual thoughts--all day long--such as by being stimulated by brief thoughts of women--that I had met--or, by women I am around--that may only last an instant--then I would get my mind back on track--to what I was previously doing. It didn't matter that the women were unavailable for sex--because they were married or because of other reasons--or because I was not that interested in them--I still had these brief thoughts--and I suspect such thoughts were a constant reminder of my sexuality and what could be a potentiality. So, could the antidepressants have interrupted or minimized such thoughts or the normal responses to such thoughts--thereby allowing one to go to a much lower if not absent level of stimulation--for most of ones day. So, that only the most extreme and most reliable forms of stimulation would have any chance of having some marginal amount of sexual response--if any response is at possible--depending on ones degree of severity and on ones particlular combination of different PSSD type symptoms. And so could this result in a lack of libido and cause my pessimistic attitude--or, also cause all of these--all combined to make me feel disconnected from normal society? And, could such--also, explain my having a reduced awareness of my genitals--as I go about my daily activities--where they feel like they are missing--or, should I be searching for some additional explanation--for this one symptom--other than PSSD--or could I have both PSSD(ejaculatory problems and lack of pleasure and lack of excitement from sexual stimulation)--as well as some other pathology--which when combined--is causing some overlapping symptoms?Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
