I am really in need of some one's help to know what actually losing libido is.
From last few months i was not feeling like making love with my husband and start losing interest in sexual activity. I thought it's because of work pressure and daily routine. My husband also never force me.
One day i was searching on net about my symptoms of losing interest in sexual health. I found so many articles stating that it is 'Loss of Libido'. what does it actually means? and how i will come to now i am suffering from that or not?

well 2fatto, if you have lost your interest in sex, you have definitely got a problem with your libido. this could easily be because of work pressure and/or daily routine. women are under so much pressure these days with all the stresses of work, managing a household, having a husband or b/f, outside interests, etc.

don't feel like you have to "label" the problem though, you should focus on the fix. maybe take time out of your day every day (even if just a few minutes) to relax and focus on you.

when you are with your husband, take the time to make him feel appreciated by you physically, in other words, give him a hug, or a kiss or just look at him eye to eye and think about how much you love him. tell him. chances are that if you can get past your day-to-day stress, and focus on what brought you and your husband together, you can fix the issue on your own.

one other thing that may help is to dress a little sexy. pick out a real pretty new pair of panties and a matching bra. put them on and you feel sexier. allow yourself to contemplate that during the day and maybe by the end of the day you'll feel more in the mood to do something. there's nothing like wearing old panties and bras that MAKES me feel unsexy. the biggest thing about this is doing it for YOU not for anyone else.

i don't know what to say to help you, i just hope that something i said can help. i hate it when nobody has responded to someone, and i've not been in your shoes, but i'll say a prayer for you and i hope that you start to feel better about things.

A loss of libido is simply having little or no interest in sex. You don't have trouble reaching orgasms and there is nothing wrong with how things feel, you just don't want to or don't feel like having sex. A loss of sex drive becomes a problem when you feel it’s a problem-- or when you'd like to be more sexual than you currently are.

There's nothing wrong with speaking to a doctor about this, he/she will probably be able to pinpoint what it is that is causing the lack of sexual desire. Again, if you feel its a problem-- and it sounds like you do-- then it's something worth looking in to.

The causes of loss of sex drive in women vary. When did this start? Are you on hormonal birth control?

As Maddie34 mentions, there can be dozens of different reasons for losing interest in sex, including allergy meds, not enough sleep, stress, etc. There has been recent research suggesting that mold exposure can cause depression, which would also lead to a loss of desire. Only you can determine the true cause.

If, however, the problem is only psychological, only a result of the way you think about sex, hypnosis can help reorient your mind to be more open to sexual thoughts and feelings.

Hi 2fatto,

Your problem is a very common problem now a days. Because of fast life and lot of expectations and to achieve those expectations one tend to not only walk but run into todays competitive world. Everyone wants to survive in such circumstances and hence they feel so much stressed out at the end of the day that they don't feel anything else other than the sleep when they fall into bed.

Its may be because of such reasons also you don't feel like making love with your husband. But don't worry its not the permanent problem, it can be cured . Basic reason might be is the stress so you need to remove this factor from your life and then see the result. You can have your daily routine organized so that everything will be in time frame and then you don't have to run for anything. Start some exercise or yoga to relax your body and mind which wil help you in your relation also. Very Happy
