Loss of Libido

I'd never thought I'd say it but here it is: I am glad that I am experiencing loss of libido. I can't say that it is a side-effect of Bipolar Medication because I'm not taking any. I presume that it's because I'm now 46. I have lost interest or am losing interest and its great. To lapse into the vernacular 'I am glad that I have shaken the monkey off my back'. I presume, that that means I am glad that the overwhelming surge of testosterone and lustful thoughts that haunted me in my twenties and thirties, no longer do so. I was so desperate to cop off or have sexual intercourse as a younger man, that quite frankly, it was embarassing and frustrating. To have sex you need a sexual partner and I haven't had one of those for a very long time and no I am not advertising. I don't want one. As I get older what I seek is a friend and a companion. Sex is a problem, it always has been. Rather, relationships are a problem and sex without love is shit. So whether its because 'Mr Sausage' has been out of practice for so long, now reverse psychology has kicked in. Rather than being involuntarily celibate as I was for many years for a whole raft of reasons, I am now voluntarily celibate and it feels 'fucking fantastic'.

Here's to many more years of not having sex.
