I just don't think of having sex as one of the main goals and motivators in life.

Basically this.

Same, and especially since I've been on fluoxetine.

Fine. But if you’re depressed and not doing anything setting out to get some ass might be just what the doctor (should’ve) ordered

[grindy]

Absolutely.

Today I was alone and kept talking to myself and I was saying suicidal statements and I was never aware of what I was saying until after I said it.

Well, good sex can be a great boost to self-esteem, but in one of life's cruel paradoxes, there's a problem too: if you are troubled by a lot of worries, then sex loses its appeal, and can actually become a cause of anxiety itself, because sex that goes badly can be pretty damaging.

And some people have a hard time with being sexual because they've experienced trauma that triggers a bad emotional reaction any time they try to be intimate.

Trying to force your sexual lifestyle on others just seems douchey and putting the idea out there that people need to constantly be having sex to be happy perpetuates a rape culture.
