20s M. For as long as I can remember, my sex drive has been more or less cyclical; about every 4-5 weeks I’ll have a week where my sex drive is practically insatiable. I’ll cum (masturbation or sex, depending on availability) 2-3 times a day for 4-5 days straight, and each time it’s incredibly pleasurable in terms of penis sensitivity and orgasm strength.

Then, for about a week after I’ll have little interest in sex (not none, just don’t think about it nearly as much). And then a couple weeks of ‘status quo’, which is basically I can get turned on but after cumming I’m usually good for a day or two.

As far as I can tell this is totally unrelated to my mood, health, and relationship status, and it’s been this way for at least a decade. Is there anything I can do to smooth this cycle out? Alternatively, does anyone have advice for resources to look into to understand what’s happening? I’m of course familiar with cyclical changes for women, but not men.
