Q: No Sex Drive

... or very little

I do not know what to do. I love my husband very, very much but unfornately no matter what we have tried together nothing seems to turn me on.

On very rare occasions I will feel it but it is no where as often as I or we would like it. It is so hard on husband because he has a high sex drive =/

He loves me and wants to be with me in all ways as do I but I seem to be alright with just doing other things together sense I am lacking that whole "feeling" but it really bothers me sense it is bothering him a lot. He will get in his moods than can last awhile because he just feels lost or stuck. He says he loves me very much and would never leave me but gosh I feel like I am doing nothing but anchoring him down and not even trying too =*(

Even when I do feel it and we do something my body will not relax enough for us to do anything. This is stressing both of us out because I do want to be with him but like I said just no sex drive to very little.

I have always been like this though even when I was younger but I thought it was because I didn't "find" the right guy for me. Though I also grew up thinking sex and such was a dirty thing because of how people in my school just slept around and not did it because they loved each other and really bothered me on that. Seems like no one took it seriously and cared less of the results of anything but when I meet my husband that whole view all changed. He showed me that men really can fall in love and be in love.

But now I can not open myself up no matter what I have tried he has tried.

Any advice would be most grateful =/ It has been two years we have been married and still have been able to have sex at all. Just snuggling and cuddling and such but that can only do so much. I feel so distant when I am not trying too but he and I are both discouraged to the point we do not even want to try no more because we never get anywhere and I am pretty sure it is all me =/ *sigh*

I am sure this makes no sense to anyone, I tired to explain this to my parents who totally had NO idea what I meant... they thought I do not love him or something and gosh no it is nothing like that. I love him for who he is, I find him very attractive, and he is just amazing! So it isn't that... I apologize if this was written a little wonky I am not very good at explaining stuff or delivering my lines right.

Are you saying that in the two years that you have been married that you have never had sexual intercourse with your husband?..How long of a time did you go together?...Why do you fear sex?...Do you still think that it is dirty?....

Caroline: Are you saying that in the two years that you have been married that you have never had sexual intercourse with your husband?

--> Yes =*( I never have yet we have tried countless times...

Caroline: How long of a time did you go together?

--> We meet on an online game and talked for 3 years and then meet each other in real life a few times and loved each other very much and decided to get married.

Caroline: Why do you fear sex?

--> not so much fear it now. not with him just for some odd reason no matter how hard we can not get pentration. We have tried diffrent things, went into the doctors about it and they didn't even know what to tell us other than I was a "little smaller" than most girls but I should be able to have sex no problem.

Caroline: Do you still think that it is dirty?

--> Not after I got with husband he showed me the other side of sex it being another way to show love between two people and I have been wanting to be with him in that way as well as all other ways. Just body seems to not allow anything... even when he is going down on me it feels no diffrent than him grabbing my arm for example if that makes sense.

And like I said even when I do have a sex drive and I am in the "mood" completely and want to be with him... I still can not =/

I am sure we both have to feel turned on to actually do anything but to wait for me... could be waiting for many months before I even get remotely close sense nothing seems to stimulate me =/

We are both lost on what to do and I know he is suffering the most sense he actually has a sex drive where as mine seems to be non-existant... grr >_<

Thank you for the reply Caroline! =D

Honey, everything you say makes sense...Love between two married people is pretty special...However, married love is bigger than just finding someone attractive...You want to be part of that person...You want to give them your heart and soul....You want your body to be their body and to find the pleasure of hot love in their arms...

I think the best thing for you to do is to get some serious counseling...There are people who are far better at explaining life to you than I am...Sometimes it takes time understanding this special part of who we are....Yet when we find it, oh what a wonderful time we have...

I send you my best wishes....

Counseling is what I wanted to do for us a few months into marriage but husband seems to be totally against that idea.

And here we are still in the same position *sigh*

He thinks it will be a waste of time and money and still be in the same position but "what if?"

What if it did work! But he still thinks anything along the lines of counseling or going to the doctors is bad. =/

Thanks again Caroline!

Hi Canarie, this is not such a very rare problem as you think it to be!
You might be surprised to know there are other women too, who have faced exactly the same problem!

You might find an answer to your problem in a herb called Damiana, which is known to be helpful in many types of 'frigidity' in women.
There are other herbs too, which could help, if you find only this herb isn't enough.

What I mean is, you will DEFINITELY find an answer in the alternative therapies! Good luck.

you should research sexual dysfunction by women on the search engine.
i hope you are giving your husband some sex b/c some men can get frustrated and go out and cheat.
did you try ky-jelly, soft music, toys, wine. did you talk to your doctor to see if he can give you something? can you aford a sex therapist? if therapy is out it's good to do a lot of research and reading on the topic, it might give you good ideas.
my medication destroyed my sex drive, but once my b/f touches me, im back to normal.
