Stop Worrying so Much About Your Sex Drive.
No, you don’t need to feel weird or worry about your health because you don’t always get turned on. That’s why.
As explained in this video from the New York Magazine YouTube channel , when it comes to sex drive, we are all a little different. You may get in the mood after seeing something that is sexy in nature (like a sexy billboard), or you may only get in the mood after something directly turns you on (like your partner kisses you). Both paths are perfectly healthy and normal.
Part of the problem lies in the most popular term “sex drive.” The term “attraction” implies that giving up sex leaves you in an uncomfortable state rooted in survival instincts (such as breathing or eating), which is inaccurate. Sexual “attraction” is actually an incentive system that makes him less hungry than curiosity. So, the fact that you are not constantly experiencing sexual desires does not mean that something is wrong with you. It just means that you are a little different and that is completely normal. Of course, if you’re really concerned, don’t hesitate to talk to a healthcare professional to tell you what’s going on.
