Can I do anything about my lack of attraction to girls?

    As far as I know I have a normal libido. I masturbate once or twice a day. I just rarely feel sexually attracted to people. It's so frustrating. I really enjoy being attracted to girls. I've considered asexuality.

    At first I couldn't accept it, but now I'm accepting that as a possibility. Even though I accept asexuality as a possibility I'm still unsatisfied with my lack of attraction to girls. My lack of attraction makes me feel empty and sexually frustrated.

    Is there anything I can do about my lack of attraction?

    Sporn, you have a lot of anxiety, and it's possible that could be inhibiting your libido. I know that depression and anxiety definitely inhibited a lot for me, and it's not an uncommon symptom. Forgive me if I've already asked before, but are you receiving treatment for your anxiety issues? Could be that if you are able to alleviate some of your anxiety symptoms your sex drive will return.

    I agree with the Storm Inside. You could also just be someone that rarely feels sexual attraction to people. I only feel sexual attraction to people I'm in love with or deeply infatuated with, which happens almost never. I pass as "asexual" otherwise, and you could be the same.

    I'm completely asexual. Yes it's a real thing. A lot of times people think that asexuality is just a way of covering up the fact that you're too lame to be in a relationship with someone. This is not so. Some people just don't feel sexual attraction to others. They could still possibly feel sensual attraction or romantic attraction - but not sexual. Some people also have a low libido naturally. Honestly, it's strange for me to even think about since I never even think of sex or doing anything remotely related. I just don't need it, I suppose.

    This was a useful video on asexuality.
