Hi everyone, In about a week, I have my first-ever appointment with a sex therapist. Iβm in my mid-twenties now, but I lost all sexual desire around the age of 20. Since then, Iβve also developed anorgasmia, I feel nothing when I climax, which has made intimacy very difficult. When I first started expecting these symptoms, I thought it could be hormonal. Over the past few years, Iβve seen two endocrinologists. The first suspected a hormonal disorder but never followed up. The second dismissed the idea entirely, telling me it was all psychological and even went as far as calling me hypochondriac , which Iβm not. But all my values were perfect so i couldnβt answer back. For a long time, I didnβt have the financial means to pursue this properly and had to rely on my parents, who also kept gaslighting me and telling me it was βall in my head.β
Now, even though I donβt really believe this is psychological, Iβve decided to finally explore that route seriously, mostly so I can either confirm or rule it out once and for all, and hopefully be taken seriously. Again, I really have a hard time believing that with just talk therapy Iβll gain by libido back after so many years. Especially considering that, beside that, I am a pretty stable and happy individual. It doesnβt make sense but I know If I donβt try this route, no doctor will take me seriously.
Donβt get me wrong, Iβm going into therapy with an open mind , and Iβll try to be as honest as possible. But I still have doubts.
So, my question is: Has anyone here successfully recovered their libido after years of issues, purely through psychological therapy? I need some optimism, right now I feel like I am just gomma ne wasting a lot of my time and money.
P.S. Itβs not even about wanting to have sex at this point. What I truly want is an answer. If this is how Iβll be for the rest of my life, I think I can accept that. What Iβm struggling with is not knowing why. Thatβs what hurts the most.
