I wonder how many of us have gravitated to a 'LO' when the sex has fallen away with our current partners and we are bewildered as to why.
I know that there is so much more to LE but loss of libido seems to be a biggy.
As for me,relationship has finally ended with SO,I doubt whether my libido will ever revive.Actually kind of a relief in a funny way.
Alas,when I see LO I still want to explore every inch of her body.Pure imagination.Trying to avoid her.
Yes,I am a sad old twat,but I have some awareness of it and of the long history of stupid infatuations.

Re: Libido
I definitely think a loss of libido played a role. And thinking of LO- back then -gave me a huge rush of sexual energy that I couldn't seem to transfer to SO.
I'm still struggling in that area. But a PA with LO would have probably caused hell on earth for myself and likely our families.
Just wish I could forget him-- exLO that is
This recovery really takes work! I must retrain my brain!!!!
I'm so foggy today.......

Re: Libido
Libidos are funny things. I think they come and go. Depends on stress levels and hormones plus a whole heap of other factors.
Not sure how to revive a dead libido. When you like what you see I'm sure it will come back.

If only we'd sit with the void too... then perhaps we won't need to fill it once we get over the fear of its existence. L-F

Re: Libido
For me LE didn’t come when sex with SO decreased, but rather when I was/am feeling less attractive due to getting older and putting on some weight. I notice this younger beautiful guy notice me and wham!! I’m like a 12 year old batting my eyelashes, swaying my hips, and flirting everywhere. So embarrassing and narcissistic and I’m sure he noticed. Thank god I got a handle on 98% of all that. I still want him to think I’m attractive for some reason
