Sex connects all kinds of systems together; vascular, muscular, immune, respiratory, limbic, and of course reproductive. Sadism and similar impulses connect to fewer of them. And if you're having a blockage in one or more, then your brain might be compensating by trying to channel signals along paths that can reach endorphin release; good in a way, but troubling in others. As a diabetic, you may want to look into the loss of your sex drive for reasons other than just sex. It may be a warning sign that you need to make corrections in diet, exercise and lifestyle, possibly a full-fledged hormone supplement. If you've always been that way, then it'd be less of a concern. If however the lack of sexual interest is a significant and recent change in mental impulses, and it's not related to a new-found 'discovery' of sadistic pleasure, then it's something to see a doctor about. A good doc who won't dismiss the concern as one untreatable or inevitable at your age or diabetic status. We're only a few decades away from the singularity, vaguy, don't let your body give up just yet.
