I think that "phase" has gone away for some reason as I'm no longer attracted to anything. Period.

Yes stress can affect your sexual drive. Also alcohol and drugs (steroids, pot, and others). Lack of rest or sleep can also contribute to it. It is quite unusual for a 19 year old to loose total interest in sex. I have heard of people who are asexual or does not have any interest in any sexes. See a doctor.
By the way, you can try doing some exercise and drink multi-vitamins or those stress vitamins in the market. Just read the label well and consult the pharmacist.

Stress can, but that's only if your stressed ALL the time, I mean no breaks from the thoughts of stress. Otherwise; I would guess there are underlying issues that have changed your sexual view. It could very well be the person you're involved with. Maybe he/she isn't the person you're mind built them up to be and seeing them for the real deal has disappointed you.
Just a guess.

As an 18yr old male, I'd see your doctor. Stress can lower your sex drive, but at your age it's very rare that you would be under that much stress.
I'd be concerned there wasn't some underlying physical ailment that is the root cause.
SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!

Yes, stress can be a factor but eating habits can also contribute. Have you gained a lot of weight?

stress is a big thing, maybe you just need to get away for awhile
