Does sex drive or ability to have and or enjoy sex affect men only?

I find that the main side affect of my antidepressant is in fact lack of desire. Before I needed to take the antidepressant (cause we ALL know one effect of ms is depression) I was A) 25 or 6, and 2) male, and III) a professional drummer on the road with band none of you have ever heard of! So I wanted sex, couldn't get it much, and the women that wanted me after seeing our band perform were pretty skeevy... So I didn't want to catch clamidia or anything else. So I didn't get much sex. Marriage has been good to me!

I have had MS 29 years and I have zero love life. The arthritis in my back has now affected my hips and the pelvic pain is a 9 out of 10 with out meds and 5 with..maybe more🤔 Gabapentin, paracetamol and Ibruprofen.
I would love to have a partner but it would be unfair to him as I struggle mentally and physically 😪
All of you who have loving caring partners I wish you a happy love life😊 I'm knackered just typing this with one finger🤣

Oh it's there! I just know that it requires a little coaching at times. A conversation if you will.

Hey buddy!
How are you doing down there?
Are you going to just lay around and relax, or are you going to get off your lazy butt and say hello to our fiancé?
Ok good job buddy!! That's the spirit!!
