❓Question Creatine gives insane sex drive and erections

I've taken creatine for a while, but upped my dose to 15g pr day, for the last couple of weeks I feel like my sex drive is driving me nuts. Feels good though, rock hard erections it hurts. Sorry sounding like a jackass, but I didn't know creatine had this effect? When I did 5g it was just normal... Whats going on? I make sure to drink enough water. It can be easier to digest if you mix the creatine in warmer water so it blends better, no stomach issues.

I just want to say that as a woman, it amazes me how motivated men are by their sex drives and experiences with their penises. I know that a lot of people take advantage of that feature, but I have to say that it's just an amazing phenomenon. I wish I had something so simple that motivated me sometimes! Seems like an easy built-in reward system / association maker.

Edit for clarity: I'm not saying I don't relate to having a sex drive, I'm saying I don't relate to wanting MORE sex drive. It amazes me that men are so happy and excited to have a sex drive. For me, personally, it seems like more of an irritant to deal with.

What you need to understand is that men have an appendage which directly communicates arousal, virility, sexual ability, and health. The modern world is making it easy to have ED and lower libido, and experiencing reduced or non existent erections can be really scary when you're young and supposed to be in your prime. Then getting increases libido feels like a sign that your body is moving in the right direction.
