in the last year I have DEF noticed the horny thing way more
and the emo thing a lot more too, though I tend to get emo during rather than before

IDK it's been a lot more pronounced since I quit taking mental health meds and quit taking birth control (I have an RX for birth control optimistically tacked to my corkboard but no need to fill it).

do other subconscious things to attract male partners around the time that they ovulate.
What about biting them in public, does that count?

However please note that humans are some of the only mammals who also want to have sex outside of their ovulation period, which is to say that we want to do it not only to make babby.

Well, I haven't been on hormonal birth control in around 10 years or so. I do take an SNRI so maybe that has somethign to do with it? IDK.

IDK either, there's got to be hundreds of factors involved.

I sometimes wonder if other species in the animal kingdom have made the sex=babies connection, or if they just do what feels good and have no idea of the ramifications

SSRIs and SNRIs are well known to be libido killers for many
Nah I am very sensible actually, and very circumspect. I've never done anything so rash.

x-post - Yeah but that's not an issue for me. It was with Paxil. I swear to got I felt completely and totally numb. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. That's not the case with the one I've been on for the last 10 years at all. Am planning on tapering off it soon as it's mostly out of habit that I take it at this point. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I'm not on it.

Definitely not saying my experience is universal OR recommending changes in meds for anyone OR trying to stigmatize staying on meds ––– I thought the mental health meds (I was on quite the cocktail) were not doing shit to my libido but about ~6 months after going off them, the sex drive escalated pretty intensely. It was like seeing an old friend I'd forgotten about for years.
― Team Safeword (Abbbottt), Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
Huh! That would be so weird if that were to happen.

tbf I think there are three or four possible sexual side effects, some worse than others /tmi

I stopped taking hormonal bc maybe 2 yrs ago and only regret that I didn't stop taking it sooner.
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
Paxil had that effect on me too. Unfortunately, so does the enlarged-prostate drug I take now.
― Lee626, Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:06 (eleven years ago) link
xp I heard the same from another friend who quit it and got an IUD. FEELINGS, MAN! ALL OVER THE PLACE GAWD.

I should poll these or something: - Reduced sexual desire - Difficulty reaching orgasm - Inability to maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction)
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
which is least bad?
I had 2 outta 3 with Paxil. I went back about 2 weeks into it and was like "Listen lady, this isn't going to work".

OTOH, I am prescribed Ambien, which includes a warning that it can cause you to inadvertently have sex whilst not fully awake, and have no recollection of it the next morning
― Lee626, Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
you can do a loooot more than that on ambien

I am most perverted while I'm on my period, which kinda sucks.
I inevitably, during this time, start sexting former flames, trolling Craigslist, Facebook, OkCupid and Fetlife for hotties, and being a general floozy in general. Then nothing happens.
― homosexual II, Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:13 (eleven years ago) link
yeah Ambien without a doubt the most addictive substance i've ever used. I could easily go the rest of my life without touching weed or alcohol (well weed, anyway), but you don't want to be around me if I run out of Ambien....
― Lee626, Thursday, 19 July 2012 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
Found this the other day. Doesn't really have anything to do with Ambien, I guess.

wow pplains that hits home. Those of you who know me IRL may know i'm inflicted with dissociative amnesia, which is related to multiple personality disorder though much less severe. The sort of stuff his ex experienced happens to me frequently, or so I'm told since i'm often not aware of it myself. Ambien can exacerbate those tendencies, or at least add to them.
