A lovely video explaining why sex isn't a "drive" so much as a reward system that might only be activated sometimes in response to the touch of someone you trust... or not at all. Just another experience that is totally normal despite what the darn media tells us. In general, the video says, "sex is less like a hunger and more like a curiosity"; so if you don't experience it as an insatiable need that's fine! (And of course if you don't experience it at all, that's fine too of course ) http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/03/one-crucial-scientific-truth-sex.html ---------- Post added 25th Mar 2016 at 11:25 AM ---------- Oops I accidentally posted twice, the first one disappeared then came back... :icon_redf
I'm on the "ace" spectrum and I find that very interesting and reassuring information. That said, I've never really felt anything was wrong with me for having a very low sex drive. It is what it is. And I have more to offer than sexual prowess.
