I've read a page somewhere on sex-addiction, that mentioned a connection between depression and having a high sex drive too. Actually that's sort of the way I felt after all this akinesia. I felt 'post-orgasmic', and I wasn't depressed. I just didn't feel like doing anything. I didn't feel I needed anything. I was in this weird really satisfied state of mind until it started to gradually clear up. ( and it's still got a long way to go - my arms have yet to swing )
