Discussion Do you feel like your Depression makes you more or less horny?

[Suizid]

I think i crave sex even more when i'm really depressed. Me wanting to die is partly because of the sheer amount of loneliness i'm in. Maybe when you're lonely your body makes you feel more horny so you want to find someone even more. So you can be close with someone and eliviate the loneliness. Essentially your body uses sex as an excuse for you to connect with someone. Idk. Ima shut up

When I have a bad day caused by either my chronic pain or my depression, the last thing i think about is sex.

My sex drive changes a lot sometimes I'm totally disinterested or even disgusted by sex and other times I get really hypersexual and impulsive. I think it makes sense that when you're lonely you feel hornier. We're built to connect so maybe it's just the body's way of trying to feel close to someone

In my case i think it makes me less. When bad days come, bed time is no longer fun time. Even if it happens it's meh at best.

More. I mean for me its always better to feel horny than to feel depressed and masturbation to me is a good way to cope and feels good so I do it more when depressed to feel better.

I'm not sure if it had effect on horniness, but I do think being mentally unwell made me indulge in my more extreme and dark fantasies. Some I've come to be content with, but some are very unhealthy and I actively despise, so I try to avoid any content depicting that. I'd say the more I hate myself, the more likely I am to slip.
