Libido

[LostAgain]

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.

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.......

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.

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
