My sex drive has recently returned after being mostly absent for several years. It's great to be enjoying that pleasure again, but for me there is a downside. I find that when my sex drive is absent, I feel more mature and in charge of myself. I feel like a self-respecting adult. When it comes back, I feel like I'm not fully in control of myself. I feel diminished somehow. It's not like I'm engaging in promiscuous sex. I'm married, and I only have sex with my husband, but I've started having fantasies about some of his friends, and that makes me feel guilty. My sex drive is very high right now, so I also have trouble focusing on tasks because all I can think about is sex. I'm having lots of sexual fantasies throughout the day. I know there are worse problems to have, but this is effecting my self-esteem.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, or a hormonal thing, but my frustration level in general is pretty high right now. I get bent out of shape pretty easily.
