This is lame as fuck, but how do I get motivation for sex and dating after being depressed for over a year?

I was just with a girl but I fucked it up a bit, so we split, but now I barely have any libido - it literally lasts 20 minutes if it comes. I mean, my libido is so low I've even started questioning my sexuality, but I'm not attracted to men.

What can I do to get it back up? Or do I just have to keep working on my depression? Will it come back if I can shake that off?

Depression severely fucks with your sex drive. Dunno where you are but if it's winter sitting around keeps you depressed, as well as the severely decreased sun. Figure out a way to do things outdoors and keep moving and in the sun, and stop looking at fucking porn for like a week and I can guarantee it will come back at least a bit. In addition, if you've been refraining from socializing, force it.

>>18023445
Hey, thanks for the reply. I have been going to the gym for the past 7 months 4 times a week, I get a massive libido boost when I go, but again it hardly lasts. I will stop porn altogether, and I'm going on a night out in a couple of weeks. Maybe drinks will let me feel something lol.

Thanks

What does it feel like to be given an incredibly vague statement and not be able to accurately reply? Some people would say frustrating.

Sometimes giving up and quitting can be the best thing you do though, regardless of what you may be referring to. Smart people know when to cut their losses.

>>18023419
I guess what I mean is that I literally give up on everything.
After trying something out for just a while, I completely lose interest and give up on it. Even if I enjoy it a lot, I'll suddenly find a reason to give up on it, and then it was all a waste.
Everything I do is a waste. I'd kill myself if it was easy to do. inb4 shrinks, they can do nothing.

I have a very good idea of what I want to do in life , but people my age tend to show disdain or even call me stupid if I ever talk about it.
>i want to go to a community college because it's small and inexpensive, and i am an introvert who doesn't appreciate the university lifestyle
"only dumb people go to community college, you're wasting your ACT score, you're missing out on dorm life"
>i would like to be a vet tech, i love animals but would rather not still be in school into my late 20s
"you won't make a lot of money, you're so talented why don't you go to art or music school? you're wasting your talents"
>i would like to get married to the person i have been in an exclusive relationship with for 3 years, he would like to start a family as well
"you're too young to know he's the one, you need to try sleeping around and having fun, traditional relationships are a thing of the past, etc etc"

It seems like everything I would like to do is frowned upon by my peers. I'm 19, pretty religious and not into drinking, drugs, or casual sex. I'm more concerned about doing what I love than the amount of money I'll make doing it. However, it's really discouraging to hear so many people think that I'm just an idiot wasting my "gifts." How do I deal with this?

Who cares what people think? You seem to have your shit together and know what you want to do, so live your life the way you want to. The fact that they're advocating you going to music or art school tells me they're thicker than oatmeal.
>>
>>18023395

You deal with it by realizing your "peers" don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Kids are still stupid at 19 and talk without thinking. You do you. They haven't lived yet so they can't say what your future is. Take it from a 30yo. Once you're past that phase everyone realizes they shouldn't judge anyone else's path in life and keep their mouths shut.

TL;DR don't take life advice from a fucking 19yo.

People who tell you those things are weak. When I got into bodybuilding people made fun of me because I was skinny, latter on they kept asking me how to get a physique like mines. When I started playing soccer I was always looked down upon by all my teammates. Overtime they fought for who was going to play next to me. If you have an idea and let others change it, you will never achieve anything. Make them jealous of you accomplishments as revenge.

How do I prove I wasn't always mentally handicapped my family is dead set on this being true, I have a brain disease that has been advancing for years and nobody believes me it has left me handicapped unable to drive or work or remember anything, all my history of being not handicapped is erased also the disease is progressing which is why I am asking advice

How? What happens when you talk to your doctors? Your family might be gaslighting you, but the doctors don't do stuff like that.

I have read the emails they send to each other they both think this, also the docs are new and before I was handicapped I never talked

No. You can have friends over and drink plus have a baby in the room, but if you guys are a bunch of stereotypical college drunks who can't handle your drink and get out of hand and rowdy then I think you need to take a step back and look at yourselves and not the girl bringing a baby over.

tl;dr grow up.
>>
>>18023380
you fucked up. your reply should have sounded something like this
>sure, gf, thats cool. as long as the baby is rooting for (insert your preferred team here)
she would have laughed, sucked your dick, and everyone would be fine. if shit gets too rowdy for an infant, obviously the infants mother will handle it by moving to another room or leaving. let go of your desire to control, anon.

"Hey can Stacy mcslut come with her baby?"
>"Sure, but you sure it's a good environment for the baby?"
"Yeah no worries"

Absolves you of responsibility and doesn't make her feel like you're telling her she can't have her friend over. If shit gets too rough she can't really complain since you did tell her.

Hi /adv

So, I just found out my ex cheated on me while we were dating. I was completely inlove, but she ended things for seemingly no reason. I was nothing but good to her throughout the whole relationship, but she convinced me that I was the reason we broke up. However, I recently discovered that she was sleeping with her ex throughout the relationship and now she's getting back together with him (which is likely the reason she ended things with me). Needless to say, I'm extremely hurt and angry about this. I feel like the only way I'll get over this is if I get revenge on her. I have 20+ nude pictures of her on my phone, I have her email password (she accidentally left her email logged in on my laptop) and I have a bunch of text message threads of her saying horrible things about her ex and her bestfriends. She is truly an awful person and I really feel it is necessary for me to humiliate her or something. I want to be big person and not do anything, but I feel this is my only coping method. What should I do?

So I'm a 6'2'' NEET who is obese but doesn't appear so because of my wide shoulders and stature.

Parents want me to get a security job, said they'll pay for my classes and fees to get a license, so I can get the job, I'm 20 and they want me to get my life going already because I dropped out a few times.

Any advice in this area? Its for New York State, but is security as great as they say it is? No idea where to start, I'm looking in the local area for the 8 hour course for NYS.

You'll be fine.
There's so many aspie weirdos and assholes in security that you'd have to be fucking insane not to find somewhere you fit in. My brother worked security for 8 years, started as a peon and moved up in his company to upper management. Had a lot of fun times, had a lot of good and bad co-workers. Job was overall pretty easy since authorization is limited, so are responsibilities.
>>
>>18023312
I thought about the same thing. I saw so many sissies, nerds and old men in security that I said to myself that I could certainly do it too. I'm 6' and 165 lbs with a slim but toned build, so I guess I would already present better than half the applicants, and the job seems easy if somewhat boring and badly paid.
>>
>>18023375
Physical attributes have no bearing on the majority of security jobs and your ability to do them. There are exceptions of course but for the most part security personnel will never face any actual physical confrontation which requires them to overpower someone. Partially because most people won't resist or cause an actual threat to you, and also because most of the time your hands are tied for legal reasons so you don't "hurt" them.

I see my girlfriend everyday for hours, now she's insisting to text me after that which I consider to be totally pointless since that's not even close and can't replace what an actual, irl relationship is.

Now that this is a matter of conflict I'm feeling emotionally unstable and I can't deal with the fact that some is acting in such exaggerated way for a futile thing like social network interaction considering we're always talking face to face.

I tried to convince her with some Zygmunt Bauman essays about the triviliaties of internet relations but it's not working.

What should I do?

>>18023300
Just text her a little, it seems important to her. You know it doesn't replace interaction but maybe when she's at work she likes to have the feeling of being in contact with you.
The texting is probably not about the interaction but about what the interaction represents to her.
>>
is it that difficult for you to text her a little bit?
if she wants constant back and forth replies then maybe i understand your struggle but texting requires such little effort

Hey /adv/, I decided to take this semester off of school due to mental health reasons. For some reason I was performing very poorly in my classes despite studying a solid amount (around 6-7 hours a day), and I was going through the emotional struggles of 2 break ups last year and losing some friends (which made it hard to focus on studying a lot of times I suppose). Anyways, I started working full time but I have a list of goals of things I wanted to do during this time off:

>Learn French
>Learn Urdu
>Learn how to cook
>Pick up film photography
>Learn how to fish once the weather warms up
>Learn how to swim, start hiking once the weather warms up
>Read more novellas
>Conduct a self-study on a genetics course I want to take next year
>Write an app in phython related to said course
>Pick up piano again, learn guitar, learn how to produce music electronically
>Get fit
>Seek cognitive behavioural therapy

However, it seems whenever I'm not at work or in the gym all I can do is just lay in bed and shitpost on 4chan while maybe some YouTube videos. How do I start working on my goals?

You don't, not now. Your list of things is huge, pick one or two things and focus on accomplishing them instead.

I found that anxiety and social stress was a load on my shoulders, lifting it off in therapy made me happy. I advice everyone to do the same. Takes some time maybe.

We are incredibly similar, anon. I wish there was some sort of community where we could keep each other accountable and keep up with our foals, but the biggest piece of advice I can give you is to focus on your habits and changing them.

Try recording everything you do in a day. Write your emotions as you do them. What was the cue? Time? Location? Feeling? The identify the routine, and the reward, etc. etc.

Basically, many of your actions are defined by your habits, if you can slowly rewire them, and make daily, weekly AND long-term goals for each of them, you'll find yourself blazing through it all.

Also PLEASE PLEASE seek therapy. I was in your shoes and I ended up wasting a lot of time because I had unresolved issues that I was too ignorant to realize I needed to get to until recently.

> At diner at 3 AM after coming from a bar, talking about kissless virgin status with female friend that I've been friends with for around a year
>Talk about wanting to lose it, she says she wishes she could have lost it to someone she liked instead of just throwing it away for the sake of it
>She tells me I should find someone that I know to fuck
>I tell her "well you're basically the only girl that I talk to regularly"
>she says "well then lets fuck" while smirking, seemed like she was joking
>I say something like "friends with benefits then?" and she says "i don't know, I'm drunk right now try and ask when I'm sober and we'll see"
>Like a beta fuck I say some shit like "oh if you say no don't make it awkward" to which she says "of course I won't I love you"

So how do I interpret this
Is there a chance of me fucking her, that last sentence made her sound like she was setting up for a no
I would just keep things as FWB but no relationship

Our current relationship has mostly been texting every now and then, going out for dinner, going to bars/clubs and a couple of other random events since the beginning of 2016. Spent her birthday together alone going to dinner (this was the only time I paid for her), bar hopped and movie, and she wants to go rock climbing with me for valentines day this year.

Just ask if she's down when she's sober, the worst to come of it is a no.

She said that she won't love you, but she still might fuck. That's what you want, right?

She sounds like she's been testing you, a confidence test.
Just be casual about it, no matter if yes or no is the final.

i had this exact same situation with a girl and sort of am still in it
long time friend with a sexually tense history agreed to take my virginity when drunk and she loves to bring it up if she's talking to me whenever she's drunk
we live too far away to make things work properly now and she seems to always have at least 1 or 2 other dudes talking to her at a time (the one time she had a free house she invited some other guy over to eat her out instead)
now that i'm moved away she's still the only girl i talk to and she still keeps my roped in with occasional nudes

anyways thats enough of my personal issues, point is you should work to make this happen. with that girl i would leave her to do all the initiation, so my sexual priority would have been low down for her
unless your friend was lights out, totally black out drunk, i'm sure she'd be happy doing it. just make sure you create an opportunity where you will be alone together - my failure to do that is pretty much why i'm still a virgin

Hey /adv/ I have a question for yah. Im 23 and about a month ago I lost my virginity. Im not experienced in bed but im already having issues with my erections. Im having lots of trouble staying hard. I can be making out and cuddling and will have a boner, but when I put on my condom and am ready for sex I go soft. Due to these issues is why my ex broke up with me I think. Ive taken a huge hit to my self esteem and its emasculating. Tonight I got in bed with a woman ive been dating for a couple of weeks and I had the same problem. Cuddling, kissing, getting hard, but as soon as its time for sex, flat. This woman was very understanding and told me not to be sad or say sorry but I still dont understand wtf is wrong with me. I can get a boner and stay hard when masterbating, but sex I just lose it. Im sure someone has had this issue before but Ill ask anyways. How can I fix this issue?

My man this is rough and I had it for over a year. You can overcome. Google sexual performance anxiety.

Solutions:
>stop thinking about past and future while fucking. You are surely worrying about staying hard, which isn't a sexy thought, which makes you soft. Instead try to immerse yourself in your senses. How does her body feel? Smell? Look? Sound?
>definitely definitely get viagra and fuck it away. Go to your doctor and tell them everything and say people online recommend using viagra or cialis to fuck away the anxiety. Only after i did this recently am i fully cured. Just take 1/4 of a pill and you will definitely stay hard no matter how much you frit about it. Now I don't even need it. Dont tell the girl.
>quit porn. Porn makes your dick softer google porn induced erectile dysfunction. Hard but worth it.
>>
>>18023106
Also stop masturbating.
>>
>>18023148
You don't have to. If you quit porn you will find you fap 1/5 as often and getting used to using imagination to turn yourself on is useful in the bedroom because you think about what you want to do to her instead of porn which you just passively observe like a cuck.

New boyfriend and me have a pretty heated sex life, but I have some questions

When he's horny, he'll get about half, semi hard, most of the time, and then needs stimulation to get a full erection.

He says this isn't personal to me and he's dealt with it for years no matter what he's fapping to or being turned on by, is he just a slow burner? Is there a technical term for this? How can I tell myself it's not me or anything I'm doing wrong when I'm used to guys going soft because they're turned off.

He tends to get soft quickly without enough stimulation as well. What is this? I'm so new to it.

Erectile dysfunction. If he is young it's because he faps to too much hardcore porn. I had the same thing and my gf took is the same way. Which caused performance anxiety, making it a recurring problem.

Don't make a big deal about it but google porn induced ED and convince him to stop. Will also make intimacy more pleasurable for him because hormones.

Fapped to porn for the first time in over a month. Best month of my life and fucked my gf raw. Going to do another month and fuck her real good as soon as she wakes up. Can't wait. I was never like this when I had a daily hardcore porn habit. She just pushed me away because she's sleepy AF. I would have fapped to porn and forgotten about it. Now I am hormy as fuck and will dominate her thoroughly desu..going to make her my pretty little princess full of cum desu. Why the fuck am i saying desu? Desu

>>18023112

How do you know if it's porn induced? He said he used to fap a LOT when he was younger but now at twenty he doesn't do it every single day anymore
>>
>>18023118
I don't. But it's most common. Could be medical shit but probs not.

Ask what porn he is into. Say you want to watch it with him. Say you don't care how hardcore it is. After you see how hardcore it is ask if he's heard of porn induced ed. Don't make a big deal about it just like btw this is breaking ur dick m8 lol.

Hi anon, my head is a complete mess and I don't know how to deal with what's happening to me.

I'm 29 and was single for three years. It was nice being alone for most of the time, i though having a gf was overrated, but last summer i felt lonely and signed up on Tinder. I'm not ugly, have decent social skills and I'm kinda fun, but getting a bit fat lately.

I met a 26 years old thick girl
(I've always had that fetish) and we liked each other pretty much, although we don't share many interests. I like videogames, weed and good music, but she doesn't. We started dating and it has been 4 months now. Sex is pretty nice, but I think I've gotten tired of her bc she is not as affectionate as before, and i don't see her as beautiful as i used to.

I don't know if i should dump her now so it doesn't get more difficult, or i should try loving her the way she is. Sometimes i miss my single life, and sometimes i think I'd end up killing myself that way. I know that i don't want to cheat on her.

I fantasize about finding a better girl that fits me, but i don't know if that's likely to happen.

Any advice? My brain is full of fuck and any help is appreciated.

sounds like you're with her just because you're scared you won't find anyone else.
pretty pathetic reason imo unless you're completely unfuckble which you stated you aren't... so

it sounds like you aren't really afraid to lose her, and that the main thing you would be losing is sex... i think you can make your own conclusion

Anybody cheated on their partner and had it turn out okay?

I have cravings to fuck others after like 3 years. Still love the relationship. All cheating stories i have heard end in tears. Ever had any turn out fine?

Before you suggest, no i can't cuck her. I wish. She has too much self esteem unfortunately.
