Question: “I am a 20-year-old male, healthy and active. However, I do not have any desire whatsoever to have sex. I am in a long-term relationship where we used to be very sexually active but recently, I cringe at the thought of sexual activity. I struggle to unpack what is going on and when we discuss this together, I dissociate strongly and lose my ability to put my emotions into words. I tend to get angry and have to fight a strong urge to shut down the dialog. I feel so much shame and guilt about this as I know she has needs, needs I cannot fulfill right now with my genuine emotional experience. I see the danger of pretending and attempting to meet her needs while ignoring mine, as I know doing things out of sense of obligation or guilt will lead our relationship into ruins. I am certain this a psychological problem as I don’t show any of the classic signs (other than reduced sex drive) of lowered testosterone and I am not having issues “getting up” for the occasion. It seems like this is all stemming from my head. I would love Stefan’s help getting to the bottom of this as this is such a difficult topic for me to explore on my own, with friends or with my girlfriend. How can I overcome some of this mental blocks that are preventing me from having a fulfilling sex life as this is such an important aspect of successful long term relationship? More generally, what is a healthy mindset to approach a problem like this without beating myself up, as this only seems to make things worse?”

Hello @stefan.molyneux. I've a question for you, and I'm hoping that maybe you can do a video about it especially for Steemit. There's an ongoing debate as to whether or not flagging on Steemit is tantamount to censorship, and or if it violates the NAP.
It is a complex issue because of the nature of the platform. The way the platform is setup, there is the common way of viewing things, and there is also a more technical way of looking at things.
If I do a post and it merits 20.00 in rewards from 32 different Steemit voters. Then that means if someone with enough Steem comes and flags my post because s/he doesn't like the content. That
20.00turns into 0.00 and the post gets soft-censored or dithered out, if it is a comment, the comment will also be collapsed.I posit, that not only does this spiritually violate the non-aggression principle, but that it is also akin to theft, and a form of soft-censorship. Yet even though it might spiritually violate the NAP, it might not technically violate it. So the big question is, what's the right way to view that type of behavior?
I don't know how familiar you are with the platform, or how long you have been posting, but I'd really like to get your opinion on the matter. I will soon be launching a campaign against Steemit soft-censorship in order to expose the issue.
Most people aren't aware of it, because most people are good-hearted enough to simply ignore posts they disagree with, as opposed to re-divert the rewards that others have levied via their upvotes.
For some backstory: [1][2]
sex is a necessity of life, sex is in need by everyone, but too much sex or often this will make everyone feel bored of sex. the most unfavorable sex is same-sex sex, because it can cause dangerous diseases like HIV and aids.
Maybe this young man should repent of his sexual immorality and do sex the way Jesus commanded.
