I think it is due to a combination of medications I am on, but I have practically zero sex drive for the past few months.

Should I try to fix the is or can having no sex drive be used to your advantage? Outcome independence? Since I don’t care about getting the lay.

Not entirely sure how to fix this though.

Let’s discuss how you can use having no sex drive to your advantage?

Damn dude, I am sorry you are going through that. Having a messed up sex drive is hard ( no pun intended).

Do you still have motivation to approach girls, go on dates, etc., with zero libido? If you do, well, you can always get girls to cuddle and watch movies with you. If not, then you should fix it. Many meds tend to kill your sex drive, but adding other meds in combination can fix it, or just quitting the drugs.

I never met a successful guy with women who did not have a high sex drive. And I strongly believe that sexual escalation and sexual forwardness are the most important factors in seduction, so I find it hard to imagine seducing girls just to befriend them or become to assexual partners. I guess that would be just running friendzone game, or good guy game, which seems to be highly effective if your goal is not to get intimiate with girls.

The outcome independence factor you mentioned sounds counterintuitive to me. I mean, part of seduction is being brave enough to make moves and escalate with the girl without being flustered by rejection and resistance, showing that you do not care if she will make out with you or not. And it sounds easy to stay unreactive to rejection if you have zero libido, but it's hard to find the motivation to keep making moves if you have no desire to do it.

If I were you, I'd try to fix my sex drive. I was on SSRIs many years ago that affected my libido, and quitting them was great. I also had anxiety issues that, after I fixed them, helped me with my libido too. Apart from that, quitting porn does great for your libido too. Even on meds, if you are a couple of weeks without jacking off, the chances of your libido resurging are possible; you should give it a try.

Nope sex drive is one if not the biggest motivation for seduction...

No drive helps with containment and brent Smith style which is attractive... but now a days with the amount of hustle needed sex drive tops...
Thanks for clarifying.

It’s pretty much the second-most-severe hindrance to game other than being severely autistic.

All I can say is grind really hard in the field, expect really bad results, but expect that if you stop grinding you’ll basically lose everything. There’s no floor to what low sex drive can do to you.

You can still approach and be successful just going through motions... Seduction is high odds behaviors so if you follow your basics you still will seduce... I disagree with the above.

I'd suggest talking with your Doc about changing medications. If they're for anxiety/depression/mood stabilizers you don't have to be on SSRI/SNRIs, there's MAOIs, the older tricylics, NDRIs, and I'm sure some new shizz I don't know about.

I was on them for a short while like 20years ago, awful sexual side effects, switched, next one was weight gain 10 lbs in one week, switched again to NDRI which worked great until I didn't need it anymore.

I'll also give the advice I always give is that if you're on this stuff you really should be talking with a [male] therapist, someone with a doctorate not just a Master's.

best of luck,

Do you take finasteride or dutasteride for balding? If so stop that stuff immediately
