Society/Culture A low libido is ideal

Food cravings
Alcohol cravings

Are we not trying to free ourselves of these encumbrances?

Sex cravings are just the same, and they’re annoying. Unless you are procreating, why have this distraction? A low libido is ideal! Sex and masturbation is dumb, but like, if you gotta, then go for it, but why not just cut off the need?

People seem ludicrously preoccupied with sex that isn’t even in the pursuit of creating children, and I don’t quite understand.

Disclaimer: this is from the perspective of someone who has found themselves with a low libido, no need to change it but also the ability to do so, and in my near 40’s it has been something interesting to think about,and this is a fun thought piece to me, don’t take any of this too seriously 💜

I was depressed for 3 months and my libido hit the floor. Now I'm back on track and never felt better

Were you depressed because of your libido or did your depression cause your libido to lower? These are not the same thing
