So I've identified as asexual for a few years, and have never in my life had pretty much any sex drive. I'd call myself sex repulsed, at least for straight sex, it sounds gross to me (nothing against people who like it), and I think I'm demisexual for girls. But a couple nights ago, I took some melatonin for the first time cuz I've heard it helps you sleep. But instead I stayed up for a few more hours, and suddenly got these SUPER strong sexual urges. It was horrible and out of nowhere. And for the next day at work these urges came and went, like on a scale from 1 to 10 it would go from .5 to 11 in minutes. And then today I thought I was fine, and then they'd gone, but suddenly have had it happen this evening a couple times. There hasn't been anything I can think of that would have "turned me on", and I've never felt any sexual urges before. I hate it, it makes me feel uncomfortable and not like myself, but it feels horrible not to do anything about it too. Has anyone else had a similar experience or have a way that might help to stop these urges? Or do you think they'll pass in a few days? PS: I've also started a new ADD med, but haven't taken it for the past few days cuz I think it might have been making me feel depressed, tired, and not hungry (have had those symptoms in the past with aderall). Can stopping a med for a few days cause sexual urges like this?
I've had a similar experience, except my sex drive was weakened, and it forced me to confront romantic attractions I had previously ignored. Medication for things like anxiety, depression, ADD have all sorts of sexual side effects. Just to be clear, is it the urges themselves, or towards girls, that make you uncomfortable?
gravechild said it best all the meds for things like ADD, depression all have sexual side effect and like it was stated earlier you need to talk with your doctor.
I'm 17 and will be 18 in September. I hit puberty somewhat early, I got my period when I was 11, and most of my body's physical changes happened about 6-8th grade, and I found out I was attracted to girls in 8th grade when I got a crush, so it being puberty just seems too sudden a and out of place ---------- Post added 8th Jul 2015 at 09:32 AM ---------- I have talked to them, and they basically said it sounds possible but they haven't heard of it before. I'm mostly looking to see if there is anyone else who's had anything like this happen to them. But thank you for the response! ---------- Post added 8th Jul 2015 at 09:51 AM ---------- Just the urges., I got comfortable and accepting of my attraction to girls a couple years ago. The weirdest part for me seems to be that it's not towards anyone, there aren't any people/scenarios/porn that's been "turning me on", it feels more like my body just gets this desperate urge to orgasm and it doesn't care how that happens. However there still isn't any sexual attraction to people or even sex itself most of the time. I actually managed to get a pretty intense sex scene in a show to "turn me off", probably just cuz I'm so sex repulsed, but still makes very little sense (it was the lesbian sex scene in the first episode of Sense8). It comes out of nowhere, and there isn't anything that seems to be causing it other than maybe the meds.
