17 year old girl no sex drive!?
Recently I have realized that my sex drive has decreased to a nonexistent level. When I was a younger teenager, I watched a lot of porn and felt horny often. Now, nothing gets me aroused. Last year, I became involved with a guy for the first time. I had a fun time, we went to about 3rd base. But looking back, I realized that he never really turned me on. He would try to stimulate me, but I really didnt feel anything.
I have since broken it off with that guy. I now have a boyfriend. I thought things would be different sexually because this time, emotions were involved. I was wrong. The same thing happens here. I feel no sexual desire towards him. I enjoy cuddling, holding his hand, spending time with him, but beyond that, nothing more.
I want to know the reason for this. I am not sure if it could be cause by my extreme insecurity about my body, or maybe my sexual orientation (that I have yet to figure out), or am a just a person with zero sex drive?
But is this normal? I feel like teenagers are meant to be like bunnies wanting sexual activity all the time. But I honestly have no desire.

Im currently 17 and got on birth control 7 months ago. Before I was on birth control I felt more sexual, now it feels nonexistent, as you said. I hate it so much. I am in love with my boyfriend and want to be intimate, but when the time comes I have no desire and it actually ends up hurting because of my inability to produce a natural lubricant. You're not alone, hope this helps!
