Is it normal for a teenager to have a very low libido?

75% Normal
5 Comments

It takes a lot for me to become turned on, and when I do the feeling usually goes away very quickly.
I haven't had sex yet because I haven't had enough interest, but I've done about everything else. I have never enjoyed any of it, not even kissing.
I rarely am actually attracted to a guy, and when I am the attraction usually fades after we've been intimate.
I haven't had an emotional attraction to everyone I've kissed, but it wasn't any better with the ones I did have a connection to some of them andthat didn't change it at all.
I do have a history of sexual abuse and depression and anxiety, but my self esteem is fairly decen. am I just looking too hard into this? Is it normal not to desire sex or enjoy being intimate with someone at my age?

Is It Normal?

    I started getting a low libido when I turned 16 last year, also my mind is actually getting less and less dirty. It's kinda weird...

    you are fine.

    Some people have a higher libido, some a lower.

    For a teenager, especially one not fully sexually active, it's even more normal to have a very high or low one-

    Do you even masturbate? Or had an orgasm?
    Many girls don't discover their latent sexuality until quite a bit later. I had a roommate on university who had her first orgasm with 22, after trying some masturbation techniques i explained to her, DESPITE being sexually active with 2 ex-boyfriends.

    Dont think too much about it. When the time is right, things may work out for you just fine, and if not, you'll not lose anything, either. Just don't worry about things.

    I don't know if it's normal or not. I have a very low libido and I have depression. So, I wouldn't be surprised if that was cause of it for me. The factors you've mentioned have probably played a part in decreasing your libido.
