Unmedicated and cursed with Libido

I've been unmedicated now for close to 8 weeks. All is going quite well with the exception of one thing.... My libido has come crashing back like a angry bull rhino.

'Great!' I hear you say...so what's the problem?

The problem is my partner does not share my newfound enthusiasm. My propensity to cheat is growing day by day.... I'm sickened at how I'm behaving and what I'm thinking of, but feel powerless to stop it.

I was under the impression that when I beat my substance addictions the attraction with illicit sex would go, and now I find out it's been here all along; just chemically supressed.

I feel angry that she won't reciprocate, and I feel disgusted with myself that I'm acting like this.... but I genuinely feel as if I'm heading for some type of watershed moment in my relationship if a balance is not met.

I'm sick with the flu at the moment and not even the resulting painful ear infection dampens my angry alien sex drive.

No mustering of support from me. In fact quite the contrary. Your post has incensed and sickened me.

Anyone whom feels powerless over their libido treads the very same line as those that use this excuse as to why they rape and abuse woman and children. Or in your case as an excuse for infidelity or illicit sex. CRAP!!!!

Leave your partner alone - sex should be a mutual and consensual act between people or something you take care of yourself. Take your anger and expectations off your partner and own your own problems - clearly you have them. Have a wank, or restart your chemical supression again until you mature and work through your issues.

If there's to be a watershed moment in your relationship then I hope it's for your partner who ditches the "angry bull rhino with the alien angry sex drive" and free's herself from the neanderthals cave.

LMAO

"Have a wank"...
What a classic!

You don't say how long you and your partner have been together or whether you were compatible sexually before you were medicated. Illicit sex is not a good idea if you are hoping to continue the relationship. This is something you need to work out with your partner.

Gotta say I think this has more to do with physical contact than libido. Otherwise, wouldn't slapping the salami suffice? Wouldn't stroking the one-eyes gopher ease things for you? Can't polishing your fireman's helmet help? Doesn't target practice with your single-barrel pump-action yoghurt rifle relieve? Jeez - buy some porn & work on those wrist muscles.

As for your partner, one word: Romance. Women fall for that shit all the time!

Even for a fellow fellow, I gotta agree with some of the other replies - you don't really warrant sympathy.
