Not to sound nuts, but could this be a good thing?

I’ve been off propecia for 1-2 mos and have had no sex drive… before that, I was kinda ruled by sex. It was almost obsessive. I’m 28…and I doubt it’s an age thing that just happened after 27 - but the point is, I have gotten really good grades in the last semester of grad school, I interviewed like crazy and got a ton of offers, I lost 15 lbs cuz I was finally free to work out… as opposed to trying to hook up all the time when I was free.

I know long term, no sex drive is not really ideal… but short/mid-term it’s not really bad (for a single guy at least).

Also, it’s interesting that i’ve developed a “non-sexual” attraction to someone that was really odd and different than anything I’ve been like before. I used to be a lot more superficial and just go after sex and what people looked like.

I know it’s a bad thing dont get me wrong - im just trying to look at the (barely) bright side.

Am i nuts or does anyone else see some positives to this?

While I would do anything to get my sex drive back, I know what you are talking about when it comes to women. I find I evaluate them not so much on looks anymore, but on the person inside.

And I think that’s a good thing, overall… almost like I’ve been taught a life lesson. If it’s one thing this whole Fin mess has taught me, it’s to appreciate people more for who they are on the inside, rather than what they look like on the outside.

Because I find that as I am crippled by this syndrome, a woman that is supportive and caring means much more to me now than some super hot, high-maintenance, stuck up chick I couldn’t even fuck properly anyway, Post-Fin.

All in all this has been a very humbling experience.
