Hi all,
I used to be, well, a typical Scorpio (female). I recently talked to an ex boyfriend who told me breathlessly "but my god you were talented...oh man I still have memories...for what its worth, you were probably the most fun I had...god I miss that mouth..." (yes, that's all verbatim). As you can see, typical horny scorpio chick who makes men drool and dream and wears them out! He is married now, so we're not going to get together obviously, but man he made me realize how long it's been since I actually had sex, and more so, how long it's been since I had sex I enjoyed. I've lost my libido pretty much. I've tried - I've had sex with various guys but none of them really interested me. Having sex with men who I wasn't totally interested in in the past didn't bother me, because let's be honest, I was mostly using them for the sex anyway. ;-) At the time, I was very into things like reiki, and reading about being a Scorpio, and power and bdsm (not so much doing it, but reading about it, mostly because I couldn't find someone I wanted to submit to). I was actually somewhat sexually submissive (and yet dominant) and got off a lot in making men, well, making men drool over me like the above ex-boyfriend obviously did.
Somewhere along the way I lost the plot. I became super focused on a bunch of personal and professional goals and had to necessarily cut out a lot of people and superfluous stuff. I also went through some personal betrayals and tough times, but nothing too extreme (heartbreak, crappy roommates, robbery). In that time I became disconnected from a lot of people and a lot of things I really liked. My sex life also became null and void. Now, I get annoyed when it's obvious a man just wants to sleep with me. I don't like being touched and I haven't had a crush in eons. I can't even enjoy masturbation much - it's more of a chore that I do because I feel I should. I've fallen into the rut of work/sleep/work/sleep. I need to get out of this!
So....how do I reconnect to myself and to others? How do I get my Scorpionic libido back? I'm in a rut and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what steps I need to take to become the fun-loving sexy saucy minx I once was. Any tips?
Thanks!

Mon, July 7, 2008 - 1:13 AMMaybe you just haven't been meeting any new people that are right because you have evolved and matured past the casual sex crowd. If you meet the right person and fall in love again. Your libido will come back with focus. It sounds like no one really attracts you right now. -

Mon, July 7, 2008 - 1:41 AMmaybe - it could just be a dietary/ herbal problem. but maybe it would be more convenient to just assume he has emotional issues, rather than it maybe being a very simple, minute, physical problem.

"because you have evolved and matured past the casual sex crowd."
That statement almost made laugh, what makes you think mature = no casual sex? Sex is a simple, basic human need and instinct. We human are the ones over-complicating the matters, sex is sex and it's just that. If there's love and feelings involved that makes it more worthwhile then great. But degrading sex when there's no feelings involved? I personally think it's just not right.
Go out and enjoy your life, get active, have fun, do hobbies, eat right, de-stress yourself and get your mind off the daily pollutants we clog ourselves up with. -

I am not trying to degrade casual sex. Nor I am I saying that it is immature in the way that YOU seem to read it.. If casual sex is YOUR thing, then I apologise for offending. I meant the word mature in a way that it may be different for this person as compared to how she was in the past. maybe she is older and thinks differently now. We were only trying to help her figure out her problem, (sheesh!)

Re: Lost my libido...help!
Wed, July 9, 2008 - 5:16 PMI don't think it is a secret that Scorps are often either end of the extreme: aware of and utilizing their libido 24/7 or downright
"monkish".
It has been my experience that when I am not in a relationship and since I am not of the ilk which engages
in casual sex / one night stands et al - I turn all my attention to everything BUT my libido.
This has happened several times and while disconcerting, initially, its not something that was ever permanent.
Further, I am in agreement with those who indicate it may be a matter of not having any intense interest as
that is often the catalyst into being aware and utilizing, with such proficiency, your libido.
My suggestion would be to try and not obsess over it as that could make it become an actual issue (not
that I am negating what you are experiencing at this time)
We were born with it...you don't lose something you were born with ; )

Re: Lost my libido...help!
Wed, July 9, 2008 - 6:41 PMI have found this same situation
to be true with me also.
However, as of lately I have been using meditation
and focusing to calm down my feelings like these
and be able to love myself more, henceforth, not
only awakening those feelings deep inside me that enable
to take enjoyment and delight in myself, but also making me more
attractive to others who would be potential mates.
Why just yesterday I was doing a meditation, I connected with several
feelings and images within my consciousness, which brought
the inner sexual being within and I was able
to arouse strong erotic feelings.
I basically had an orgasm without any touching and physical stimulation.
It was great! I couldn't believe I could do such
a thing for awhile, but we as humans have that wall of self-doubt
we need to work through.
I am still working on mine, I am not perfect, but the fact I was able
to do it proves that anybody could do it. :-) -

Re: Lost my libido...help!
Thu, July 10, 2008 - 2:08 PMI am in the same situation actually. The way you put it, I really identified with. My loss of libido came as a result of just a general disinterest in the matter of relationships. I require an emotional attachment to my lovers, and have been pretty badly betrayed as of late. I put a lot of my time and energy into relationships- which always resulted in sexual relations, and now after getting hurt, for the gazillionth time, I have decided to take a step back and figure out what's going on. Truth is, I realized that I haven't been single for quite some time, and that I have not taken enough time to get to know myself. Know myself! Figure out what it is that I want, and not some selfish lover, trying to fill my brain with fantasies which are exclusively one-sided (i.e. not mine). I guess you could say, that I was fed up, and I missed the days when I challenged myself to the journey of self-betterment. I missed time spent on myself, fulfilling my goals and a sense of security that came from being totally self-reliant. Because that's what was going on- I was in relationships where people kept taking and taking from me. Sexually and emotionally. I needed a break! I like the break. But at the same time, I feel off the tracks. But I know what I need is affection, and not just a fuck, you know? So I will stick it out- I've been through worse, and hell, this was when I was getting laid 3 times a day. -

Re: Lost my libido...help!
Mon, July 14, 2008 - 6:34 PMMaybe you are not fully identifying with who you are portraying yourself as outwardly. Maybe you are not surrounded by enough stimulation from the opposite sex, like people who you find sexually stimulating and/or show interest in you. Maybe more flirting is called for? I think you prlly have the answer right inside you. Have you tried meditating on this? -

Absolutely, but I'll be damned if there aren't days where I could just break someones back!
Then the feeling subsides and I go back to being Snow White :(

Re: Lost my libido...help!
Tue, July 15, 2008 - 12:25 PMHmm..I kinda know what you mean. It could be a hormonal issue you might might to have checked out but not sure.. I'm a Libra and when I got married 0 years ago to this Sag. I basically was not in the mood after I got married (YIKES) But.. I was 23 years old and had a lot of stress on my back.. my mind was consumed with the everyday annoying bullshit.. like bills.. work...school.. not to mention raising a child. But now I'm 33 and he has to beat me off of him..I can't be satisfied.. and sex is all I think about and I throw the bills in the trash now. Its nice but in a way annoying because I'm not satisfied..sooo
Sexual dysfunction maybe haha!
Good Luck.. wish there was a nice balance of everything =)
