Long story short I have never been successful in dating in any shape or form and it’s starting to really affect my everyday life. I have been in therapy for over 7 years (recently quit) to no avail. I am already on antidepressants which thankfully dampens my libido a bit but I now I want it all the way gone.
So anyway, should I tell my family about this? Nothing will really change if I do, but a part of me is telling they ought to know, you know? But I am not sure if I want to.


It’s a pride thing. But who knows if the T blocking measures truly are that detrimental I might consider it.
Understood. Try not to get too discouraged. I met my husband when we were both 27, and I was his first partner. You’re not as doomed as you think.
Proud? It may be a nurtured perspective for partaking in one side of the oldest profession. People buy stuff they have a hard time with themself. Hiring the right contractor for the job is a sign of maturity and self confidence imo.
I do recognize its a scary thing to dip your toe in, and respect anyone who does. There’s probably a reason to look down upon a john if they’re out there to satisfy some abusive lust. I wouldnt feel that emnity towards a dude just looking for an experience, though.
Anyway, i support your decision to address your behavioral health with a rational mindset.
