related to previous "my low sex drive" post

i have a very similar problem. however, mine has been pretty constant for as long as i can remember. i am still technically a virgin. but it's mostly because i don't care enough to actually have sex. for the past two years or so i have been taking antidepressants and i am also taking a birth control pill for cramps and acne purposes. i like the thought of sex. i want to like sex. but i just don't seem to care when it gets down to it.

i read the previous post and the comments that followed. i really related to the problem. i agree with the comments that suggested that it may be because of the medications. my problem is that it started before the medications. i also don't have a doctor i feel comfortable talking to. i have never been to an ob/gyn. also, our family physician is kind of a nut job. the last time i was trying to talk to him about my continued problems with depression, he told me that finding jesus might help. don't get me wrong, i think faith is wonderful and remarkable, but when i'm paying to see a doctor, i'd like some medical advice please.

any suggestions? please and thank you.

p.s. i found this community two days ago and am just in awe. the support and love you all have for each other is refreshing and beautiful. thank you so much! it's truely inspiring.

Find a new doctor! If you're still at home, let your parents know this doctor makes you uncomfortable, and he's not taking you seriously.

Honestly, if you can, try to get off the antidepressants. Ultimately, this would be your best chance of finding your sex drive. Antidepressents are a short term solution to a long term problem. But don't take my word for it, have a talk with a physician that you like!
