confused

I'll make a long story short:

I've always had a low-sex drive and recently I've had problems getting & maintaining an erection. I am 20 years old. I'm I gay or could it be something else????

Maybe asexual? http://www.asexuality.org/discussion/in ... ce72680d53

Hi, themini,
Welcome to the forums.
You don't really say enough for anyone to really be able to *guess* about what might be up (no pun) with you.
It can certainly be said that: Low sex drive does not have anything to do with sexual orientation.

Does "low sex drive" constitute a problem to you? Of what sort?

There's a range of drive levels, so you could just be at low end of normal.

But since you have some issues with erections at a young age, it might be a really good idea to be check out medically: many hormonal, neurological, and/or genetic problems could be the cause. And many *can* be well treated.

Hope you'll get things checked out by an expert.... and get whatever help is appropriate.

[ BTW: those other forums look very useful if you just turn out to be naturally at the low end of the sexual desire spectrum... and might help you be more comfortable in hanging in with it if that seems like the best option.]

That is unusual in someone that young. I get that way if I am depressed or physically ill. How is your health otherwise?
