Sexual attraction decreased ?

[thinkreal93]

Hey there.
So I've known I was gay since puberty. Men were a big sexual turn on. They were bliss. When I would spot a handsome guy, I would be ogling at him.

But recently, I find that men aren't as much as a turn on as they were before. Meaning, they aren't as appealing like before. I have no problem in getting an erection or getting an orgasm. Sexual performance is not the problem. While masturbating, it takes a bit of time to get me in the mood and then I'm good to go.
I had been taking Fluvoxamin maleate (SSRI) & for a lesser time, Aripiprazole (anti-psychotic) for my OCD.
Also, I have been trying to think about women sexually as an attempt to fit in society. It has been pleasurable to an extent [Hey, anything sexual is pleasurable! ] , but looking at the past, I would say I'm more into guys cuz of the intense sexual attraction back then. It's probably the only thing that prevents me from calling myself bisexual.

My personal inferences are -

1) I have become used to men, so I shouldn't expect their appeal to be as intense as before. Has anyone experienced this before ?

2)The anti-depressants I had been taking have put my libido down. That's understandable but how does it explain men being less appealing to me ? Also, I've stopped the medications 2 months back and I don't see much real change.

3) I have thought about women too much, literally obsessed over any sexual reaction towards a female stimulus. So, since I my reaction has broadened towards both male and female stimuli, men have become less appealing. Does it make sense ? Does this really happen ?

I would really like to hear what other people have to say, especially regarding the point 1. Might it mean I'm no longer gay ?

Thanks.

My first guess is that this is related to the anti-depressants. Have you researched the side affects of such drugs.

Since you specifically want a response to #1 , are you watching too much porn and just getting jaded to it and it carries over into your sex life? Are you sexually active other than with yourself?
Maybe you're just going through a faze because you have other things on your mind.

Yeah I checked them up and they ARE known to decrease libido.

I don't watch much porn really . Just sometimes. I have had sexual interactions occasionally. But I wouldn't say I am having too much sex and getting bored of it.

It may be due to mind focussed on other things too, but I don't think I have such strong distractions. :/

Ugh. Not everything is about watermelons.

Anyway, the key to restoring libido is not watermelons. It's a prayer to St. Anthony and a glass of flat 7Up.

I'm not sure if that was intended to be humorous

7Up is a brand of lemonade (not sure if you have that over in the pagan USA). Flat means the fizz has gone out of it. Flat 7Up is an Irish tradition. If you're sick, you have to drink flat 7Up, for some reason.

The OP just needs a good feed of rice and peas.
