yeah I noticed that a lot of people here claim to be asexual to some extent. what I've been wondering about is how much that is the effect of antidepressants and other medication (I know SSRIs pretty much killed my libido when I was taking them).
I've had the EXACT OPPOSITE problem with my libido. What happened with me is my mate is NT and was practically a nympho when we first met. For reasons I honestly have little explanation for, within a few short years, our sexual activity dwindled to only a few times, maybe once or twice, a week. At one point (for legit reasons) we stopped altogether. Things picked back up recently, though, but sex is still a rare thing. And what's truly cruel is that when she IS in the mood, it just so happens that I'm sick or not feeling well. The very next night, she's "too tired." So over time I've just started losing interest, although my libido is still really strong.
I've never taken meds for AS. Once, many, MANY years ago I was on Ritalin, which definitely was a mood-killer for me. I've never really considered taking meds, but it SSRIs counteract an overactive libido, it seems to me they would be helpful not just for my state of mind but also the severe depression brought on by lack of regular sex.
