By “sex drive”, I mean an intrinsic urge to pursue sexual activities. I do *not* mean how much one enjoys sex, whether they’re able to do it, or how good they are at it.
Every time people talk about low sex drives, it’s about “fixing” or raising them. It’s often portrayed as a desirable aspect of masculinity. I don’t have an issue with that, I just don’t understand why.
Like it’s not a terrible thing to crave junk food and video games, but *not* craving them would be better, right? Or at least it wouldn’t be some kind of deficiency. Lacking cravings for things you need would be, like food, purpose, or social interaction. Is it that a high sex drive is just a proxy for good health?
This is a serious question. I’m asking this purely out of curiosity and not to push any agendas or views, or solve some personal problem. I say that because every time I’ve asked this, people respond to their pre-suppositions instead. I’m not an incel, asexual, puritan, or anti-natalist, and not sexually frustrated, or chronically online. Fwiw I’m a straight male.
