Does anyone feel they are a slave to their sex drive? I think I was like this for years and years.

You?

sort of, but it was connected more than just my sex drive. There was a chiron (opposing mars) tied up in there too.

Nope, sometimes I forget I have one :(

I was when I was younger but it changed and I find that a relief.

Nope.  My Scorpio Moon/Neptune can go for long periods of time without sex.  Sex isn't just sex to me, it's more of a religious experience and I have always been willing to wait and not settle for anything less.

Ha, they wish!

Not until recently.  This Pluto transit is... whew!  O_O

Nope. Emotions rule my roost.

Very much so for many years - BML in Scorp opp Taurus Moon!

I was always able to go for a year or more without sex, when the man I wanted was no longer available or for other such reasons - and I rarely indulged just for the sake of it (Venus/Vesta exact made sure of that)... But that didn't mean it wasn't ruling my life all the time. I was very relieved in my fifties when it abated a bit (though not that much) in my fifties - it still caused me to be always on the search for an outlet, even though I couldn't find one.

In my twenties and early thirties, and again in my forties, it was all-consuming (later thirties I was married, and ironically it went almost into abeyance!).  It was very strong again last year after I'd resumed the relationship with the Man. And it's still there, but nothing like it was in the past, thank the Goddess...

It's a real pain, you can waste so much time and energy feeding this relentless drive, which would be better spent on other things - like earning money, rescuing stray dogs, or making art!

Yes! But more a slave to its elemental compulsions. Many times i wished like Siva i could just burn Kama up with fire from the third eye and be free of it forever.

YUP!  But last year I turned that outward with my yoga practice. Now the blow isn't so bad. Pun possibly intended.

oh yes!!.. but i have really high standards.. doesn't mean that i don't wish for the never ending fixation to go away

In my early 20's, absolutely.  I'm not ashamed of it, though I could have managed it better, I think.

Yeah, I felt this way during two separate phases when sex was very compulsive and my life revolved around it.

In a way. I always say the right man can talk me out of my pants. Thankfully(?) they are few and far between. :P

I don't think that anyone is a slave to their sex drive. But I did sort of go into heat in my early 20s. I love sex, I love men and I had no commitments. I had a lot of attractive willing partners. I was definitely going for physical attraction so I dated a lot of really good looking toads, but I have no regrets. I would not call it being a slave. But I did have a strong physical drive to have sex.

No...at least, not yet. Got plenty of years ahead of me for that to change though!

YES! and then I had my first saturn return.  Thank gosh,

Sex is one of the most important things to me in a relationship so I'd say yes.  Funny, I can't think of it being any other way.  Interesting thing to contemplate.

After a bad marriage that lasted 17 years, I finally found myself and am happily a slave to my sex drive again.  I regret that I wasted those years being almost celibate, yikes!  My Venus conj. Uranus in Leo is thrilled.  And I've got a wild willing Double Aquarian, Leo rising, Pluto conj Asc, venus/mars/Jupiter/Saturn in Cap to have fun with.  Bring it on!!

No. It's there, but I think I'm pretty good at channeling my sexual energy to other things. NN/Venus/Uranus in Scorpio opposing Chiron in Taurus. Unaspected Mars.

yes, I used to be a sex addict.

Does sex drive? Yes.

If the emotions are there and deep, it's game on. They don't rule, but they take the front seat from time to time.

Emotions were what drove me not sex (Cancerian,Mars in Pisces) never even had experiencedcthe big O until just before menopause (what a revelation!). when my hormones went crazy and i went a bit nuts.

Luckily i found a willing young man to indulge me. It was all consuming for a few years. I finally discovered what all the fuss was about. It has cooled down now thank goodness but it was quite the ride while it lasted. I will never be the same. Phew!

I (Capricorn 8H) was sexually awoken by a Scorpio. Before that I felt luke-warm about it.

My ex Cancerian s a sex-addict and I never knew (the red-light district is 2 streets from my house) He did not '' want to bother me with it''. Sad, no?

Considering my sexual history, I could arguable say no. But with an 8th house Sag, Jupiter in Scorpio, taurus rising, and venus opposite pluto.....maybe yes, but more like a woman starving to death quietly inside her prison of a body.

Now if we move the words around a bit....that could definitely be true for me too. ;)

(((mina)))

Thank you Kashmiri.: )

It's my truth. And while it's extreme, and not pretty, it simply is.

(at-least I'll reach galaxy status in a few posts time. that's something nice.)

You really are a galaxy Mina!

Thanks SMG. : )

Oh yeah. It's the 1# reason I'm still with my terrible, verbally abusive boyfriend.Not much longer, though! I just put down a security deopsit on a new apartment. I am getting FREE.

Oh, and I am with synnysadge and CArRiE on this one!

@Midara - Totally good for you! Life can be good when you don't have to listen to insults and put-downs all the time, and walk on egg-shells! 

I have no sex drive that I cannot take care of easily on my own. I've never needed to have sex or such. I crave partnership more than the physical stuff.

Midara - Go, girl, go!  And don't look back. 

When I'm in a loving relationship, my sex drive is in high gear.  When I'm single, I'm okay with not having one.  That's just how I roll.  

Hell yes, I'm a slave to it!  I was in an abusive marriage for many years and went through a long dry-spell during/after my divorce.  When I met my soulmate, I got my "groove" back.  I'm 8 years older than him and he tells me I wear him out....LOL! I love my sex life now! It only seems to get better

For better and for worse, definitely a slave.

I'm the reverse of egi - I crave sex, or rather passion, but not partnership. I tend to lose my sex drive when I'm settled in a partnership (not that it's happened very often!). I loved the build-up to sex - the 'will he ... won't we?' scenario which makes it all so deliciously exciting, even in a long term relationship. I'm not much into predictable sex, in any sense

t's a real pain, you can waste so much time and energy feeding this relentless drive, which would be better spent on other things - like earning money, rescuing stray dogs, or making art!

Blessed Place, I think so too. It's useless!
