    Am I weird? Basically, I have this crush on a guy and as soon as I realised, I completely lost my libido. I haven't masturbated or had an erection for close to 10 days now. Considering there hasn't been a day in my life that I can remember where this has happened, I'm a little worried. Actually, very worried. I'm late teens with E.D. That is scary.

    in High school... in my group of friends we had this one guy who had no sex drive what so ever, infact we referred to his drive to that of a dead horse...
    But now 10 years later he is married with 3 children...
    so I think it may just be a phase, maybe try to masturbate? see how that works for you?

    I'm 17 and I can't remember the last time I had an erection, if that makes you feel any better.

    What's weird is that it started just as you got a crush... for me it was when I lost mine... so.... Hmm....
    Have you tried pursuing this crush? If something comes out of it, I'm pretty sure it would boost your drive.

    My sex drive tends to be cyclical. I'll go through phases of very high sex drive and then bam, the bottom drops out and I've got nothing for a while. My partner tends to be the same way, and it's frustrating when we're not on the same page!

    My sex drive has never been cyclical or gone away. I'm pretty much ###### all around the clock. I've tried porn but nothing seems to work.
    Tbh, it has probably improved my life. I can pursue a healthy relationship instead if thinking about sex 24/7. I'll go for this relationship and see how things pan out.

    It wouldn't be uncommon to have your sex drive up and down, and before somebody suggests it, no, you're not asexual. Sex drive is a combination of physical and psychological and is a lot more nuanced than most people recognize.

    It's also unlikely you have ED. One of the tests that physicians sometimes use to determine if ED is present is to put a piece of not-very-sticky tape, lengthwise, on the shaft of your penis before you go to bed. If, when you wake up, the tape is loose, it means that you got an erection during the night (which most people do.) So you could try that.

    As I said, my guess is it's mostly psychological and not anything to worry about. If it goes on for a month or two, it's worth talking to a doctor about. Otherwise, probably not a concern.
