The BC could definitely play a part, though if you never masturbated, that does tell us something. My moods were pretty nutso when I was on the patch, and then I switched to the NuvaRing (very low dose of hormones). I still had some crazy moods, mostly due to the long-distance relationship at the time, but overall I don't think it has affected my sex drive.
My formative years were spent as a religious person, but when I was about 22, I started exploring myself (also questioning the whole sex-frowning-upon-thing, so it all went together)... and even though it was 2 more years before I started having sex, I was masturbating at least 1-2 times a week from that point on. So I feel that my sex drive is somewhat correlated to that natural sense of wanting to get off.
How do you feel about watching porn? When I'm watching particularly x-rated porn (and I mean, XXX--close-ups of penis-thrusting-in-vagina ONLY, please!!!), it gets me horny damn quick. It took me a while to become comfortable with porn in general, having never been exposed to it before, but after a while, I came to love it.
