A decrease in sex drive is normal at any age. Sometimes problems in our lives, job and stress can lead to a lower libido. Stress, fear, and anxiety are all factors that can dampen sexual desire. The demands of juggling work, family and many other daily responsibilities can be overwhelming for many people. Bills may pile up and cause financial worries, and this distress can lead to low sex drive.
Anxiousness and fear over an ability to perform in bed or to satisfy a partner may sometimes lead to "spectatoring," in which individuals are so concerned about monitoring the experience that they are unable to enjoy it.
Emotional-medical issues, such as depression, have also been linked to dampened desire. In addition, many medications that are prescribed to combat depression or anxiety may have a negative impact on sex drive.
Relationship Issues
The quality of a relationship often strongly influences the couple's sexual satisfaction. In many cases, a lack of communication is at the heart of the problem. The problem may lie both inside and outside the bedroom. For example, the woman may feel that her partner is not responsive or listening to her concerns, likes, and dislikes in her daily life. The communication problem may transfer to the bedroom or it may start there.

Stress can cause all kinds of symptoms including loss of sex drive. Beware, though, stress can cause serious mental disorders if not properly dealt with. Learning to deal with it is a very good idea. One way is lots of exercise. Another is thought control or cognitive therapy.

yeah, pretty normal, particularly coupled with a stressful time in your life... I'm a guy, and pretty much had no sex drive for six months lol. I came out of a massive relationship, and didn't even feel compelled to do anything with my new girlfriend... It's weird, sometimes I think your libido just takes a holiday lol.

Sex is something young people love so don't feel bad about the way you feel you are young and I believe it's normal just be careful.
