Question:
I am a little nervous asking a sexual question. But, During the last several years, I have done a lot of work on healing from abuse (emotional and sexual). For most of my life I have struggled with fear with some PTSD symptoms. Anyway, the last several years, I am feeling safer and more confident in the world. I am branching out and taking on lots of new challenges. But, I am wondering if I have low sexual desire. The only real baseline that I have to compare is to my teenage years. Since my teenage years, I believe I have been occupied with other emotional stressors and that I haven't been concerned about desire for sex. I also have been celibate for a long time, but recently had a girlfriend for just a few months and I felt uncomfortable with my desire level. Not that I didn't want to have sex, but that I couldn't focus or would lose an erection, etx. Also, I was raised in a religious environment and have struggled with guilt.
What I am trying to say is that I realize there are probably a lot of psychological things playing a part. But, also I am wondering about medication. I am still taking a combination of Wellbutrin and 1 20mg per day tablet of Paxil.
