Does anyone experience increased libido at the onset of/recovery from illness?

[B_Nicodemous]

Just started getting sick last night and horny as hell. Thought of this thread. Nico once again is correct.

Sick (sniff) and horny.

When will ya just admit that 9 out of 10 times, on weird little random observations, I am right?:biggrin1::tongue::wink:

Afterwards, yeah, cause if I'm ill for a week and I don't do my thing?

Oh afterwards is like "must...fuck...NOW!!!!!" lol

I am not even remotely horny when I am ill. Sex is the last thing in the world I think about.

While not really an insightful read, this question was asked on Yahoo Answers and a few people offered the idea that guys get horny when ill because it's a comfort and makes them feel good. *shrug*

Why do I get horny when I am sick? - Yahoo! Answers

See, in the midst of it, i am not horny. It is at the onset, and then recovery, that it goes up. Like, low grade fever, I am rock hard, and wanting to fuck. High fever? Hell, no! At that point I ache, my skin feels like 80 grit sandpaper has been run over it, and I am usually nauseous to boot, and that NEVER makes me want to have sex! Sore throats, ironically, make me crave sucking cock.

It makes sense, orgasm causes a release of chemicals which to the brain and body are very euphoric. Perhaps subconsciously your self medicating.

I think it may be beyond that. I think somewhere, in a persons reptile brain, is the imperative to mate, especially if there is a good chance that you may croak soon. Never mind that a cold PROBABLY won't do you in, but you bdy over-reacts and says "I needs ta reproduce NOW!!!!!", even if, for me for example, sex will seriously not result in continuing progeny.

I will have to go back through the thread, but I wonder if the majority who feel horny at the onset (or even during) are males, where the females are not (or feeling it mostly when illness is leaving)...
