I’m a 35-year-old straight male, and my sex drive is all but dead.

My other area of concern is that I go weeks without masturbating. And when I do it’s hard to keep my mind from wandering. I’ve had my testosterone checked; it’s normal. I don’t do any drugs and am in very good health and shape. There was a time when just about every girl I saw turned me on, stretch marks, cellulite, bad breath, and all, so I know there’s something wrong. So Dan, am I just fucked up? Are my balls broken? My antidepressants not working? Are they working too well? Do I have an unborn twin in my scrotum? Should I start popping Viagra and humping strippers, like mom tells me to? –Nothing Arouses My Broken Libido’s Ambition
My first reaction to your letter: Christ, what a mess.
Finally, ASS, just because your last girlfriend came really hard when you fingered her ass doesn’t mean your current girlfriend will. Different people respond to different stimuli in different ways. Still, I think you should ask/press/beg on the off chance that this will send your girlfriend over the edge. Her reasons for saying no–cleanliness, self-consciousness–are stock anal hang-up stuff, precisely the kind of excuses that someone who doesn’t really mean “no” tosses around. A little love, a little soap, a little begging, and you may help her discover that she digs anal play.
