Depression Sex?

[Jozap]

So Everytime my depression hits it gets me horny and want to have sex. Now is this just me or anybody else act the same?

[Champagne Brown]

I dont get like, but men aren't the same as women..

I dont want to be looked at, touched, or talk to..

Just leave me alone altogether.

Sure it's not just boredom? Depression is usually associated with loss of interest in pleasurable activities, but I guess it's different for everyone.

The few times I've been super depressed, it's been extremely difficult to get interested in anything, even sex. I even tried antidepressants on occasion, but they suppress my libido even more that it was already, which is even more depressing. But some people I know find them helpful.

Maybe see a doctor. Could be a sign of thyroid, sleep apnea, or any number of things, and if it is clinical depression, maybe the doc can help you get it sorted out.

Nope, you're not the only one. Me too. Just some times of depression, like when you get a crush on someone and can't get it ... you just want to hump doorknobs and guardrails and pillows and such, .... something ... anything. But breakup depression not always.

Yeah it's not really sexual seek for the intercourse but mostly for the touch and affection that comes with sex sometimes. Like just cause I was to go and have sex with someone it would make it better but with someone that it really touchy in intimate. I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself right

sex is a temporary fix for someone that has depression. A distraction is the crutch but it doesn't resolve the real issue.

Bingo. Men and women are built differently, obviously. It’s more socially acceptable and common for men to express/receive affection during sex Alot of times, that’s the only time men get the touch and affection they need. It’s also good for distraction and stress relief, IMO. Here’s a virtual hug! ��

I’m with Mark here. I had depression years ago, and I lost interest in just about everything.

Your case sounds like boredom. But you should seek professional care, and not just our opinions.

Best of luck to you.

I'm going through this right now too. I yearn for even a cuddle session, but not with a stranger. Loneliness and boredom are twin sisters and they're bitches

This isn't all that strange even with women. Some people have an odd mix of hormones. It could be a sign of a much larger issue and I would certainly advise seeing a pro but I've seen this a lot.

My ex was a raging nympho after any seriously depressing event, massive crying, huge fight, etc.... Our most insane sex sessions were "angry" or "post crying" sex.

Basically this all happens as a result of each individuals physiology, man or woman, and will vary from person to person. After you cry you relieve massive amounts of stress and your body's hormones go on tilt, neurotransmitters fire like crazy, and the body is recovering from a traumatic event. Both women and men will often times want closeness at this point. It can happen during the trauma or after it. That depends on the person.

I used to have a theory that maybe I subconsciously caused little fights with my ex-wife b/c I knew somewhere in the back of my mind it was going to lead to explosive sex. She would cry, throw something, whatever, sometimes quite severe, other times fairly mild, depending on the argument and content, but either during or afterward she would literally shove my dick in her mouth after grabbing me and ripping my pants off, pulling my hand and putting it on the back of her head essentially saying, "force me".

Or she would get super super wet (again, hormones) and would grab me or pull me onto the bed while unbuttoning me and tearing her panties off and be like, "fuck me now... and hard". She'd be screaming and have to shove her face in a pillow or make me hold her mouth. Yep. Dead serious. All the time. Crazy horny raging nympho she became anytime after stress events or a good cry or anything depressing. Add one or two drinks to the mix and O..M..F..G! Yea. Totally. Not unusual at all. Man or woman.

Point is, whether man or woman it's all hormones, neurotransmitters, the relief of stress, and it's related to each person's unique physiology and mentality.

However, if it's a serious depression issue you need to seek help from a professional. At least to discuss all the possibilities. It's not typically healthy to continue like that or be in a relationship based on that type of sex or the yearning for that kind of sex. We continued like that even post divorce for 2 or 3 years just b/c the sex was amazing but it was not healthy. I'd advise at least speaking to someone to make sure you don't have something larger going on.

May I suggest you seek a licensed counselor or psychologist for your issues.
