What else has been going on in your life recently?

I'm only anxious about it because I can't get over the idea of it being an irreversible medical condition or something. And it has been about three weeks that I've been like this.

I seriously doubt that there is any kind of irreversible medical condition. The most likely thing to exaggerate the problem is you worrying about it. Stress and worry are the most likely things to hurt your sex drive.

Purely coincidental, yes

I made it in like 10 seconds.

Maybe I'm at the top of one of my cycles and I'm sending subliminal messages lol...

Suddenly, I really have nothing to think about except my God and my friends and family (and homework, of course)

There's definitely more to think about than that.

And three weeks is no time at all, I wouldn't worry about it.

What jumped out to me as a concern, after reading your initial post, is that you seem to think you're cured of your sin addiction. As someone mentioned earlier, you really can't drop your guard. It's the times when you feel like you have something beaten that can actually turn out to be the times you're most vulnerable to falling. I think that's true for any addiction. We all have our a weaknesses for sure.

Don't let your guard down. More than likely it's cyclical.

Besides, the Lord is not a prankster. If the Lord frees you from sexual temptation prior to marriage, he will likewise continue to take care of you after marriage.

I'm not sure if that reads the way I intend it, but you get the gist.

Rejoice that it's so simple for you. I'm a single guy and I honestly wish it was so easy for me. It's a constant fight, one which I'm weak at fighting and definitely wish it were so easy.

In terms of your fear at it being medically wrong, I'm a medical student, and from my 2 years study, the key with the testes and other sex organs in the male is:
- the more they are used, the more they want to be used.

Honestly, as it is, your sex drive has died down because you never let it out of it's cage, but once you waken that sleeping lion, it will pounce, so remember to not waken it until you are in the protective surroundings of a marriage. Once you reach the honeymoon, your sex drive will well and truely kick in again, and my prayer is that it remains sedated until then, but don't rely on yourself to do this but continue to ask God.
