    Sex drive

    I'm 26 years old and have recently begun to have an increased sex drive. I'm wanting to know if it's normal or if I should talk to my doctor. When I was 20 I found out that I had abnormal cancer cells in my crevix. Now when somethng about me changes I get nervous. My sex drive has been non-existant for the past 6 years. I know it's probably normal but should I make an appointment to be on the safe side?

    I dunno what you just said, is it up or non- existant ??

    If it's up thats normal, women hit there sexual peak at around 32 or so..

      First off "abnormal" cervical cells are pretty normal but boy are they good for selling vacine and more tests. Unless you get up to a 4 or 5 abnormality, there is little to worry about. Vigorous sex within a few days of a test can cause 'abnormal' cells, so can tampon use and a number of other things. Having a pap test can disrupt cells and cause abnormal cells.

      Having a non existant sex drive is NOT normal for anyone unless they have a medical or emotional issue affecting their health and responsiveness. It sounds like you are moving toward a normal sex interest. That is a GOOD sign not a scary one. So say hurrah and see what you can with this? You can have a lot of fun with a healthy sex drive.
