I have been with my girlfriend for 5 years
now - I am 24, she is 28 - and although I
love her to bits, I just wish she would
want sex with me.
I have talked to her about it, and she has
assured me that it is her - she has a very
low sex drive. I have tried everything -
complimenting her, making sure she is
secure and feels safe, buying her a
vibrator etc. But nothing works.
We have not had sex for almost 2 months
now.
Is there any way she can increase her sex
drive with any tablets etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, will do, but the question was about
the female low sex drive, not the male!
I have a high sex drive, but my partner
has a low one. It is driving me insane
and affecting our relationship.

Does your girlfriend take birth control
pills? If she does, they have been known
to decrease this drive. Otherwise a loss
in sex drive is often times a
psychological thing for women--perhaps she
is bothered by something? What does she
say is the reason when you guys spoke
about it?

Sex drive largely a matter of balanced
hormones.
Does your gf have any other symptoms of
being out of balance hormonally? (weight
problems, pms, painful ovulation, bad
periods, vaginal dryness, excessive hair
growth, hair loss, acne.)
she may resist the idea, but urge her to
see her doctor or an endocrinologist.
Sometimes it's a simple matter of a little
testosterone cream applied vaginally to
increase libido for women.
Take care.

Cheers all,
she is worried about her weight, but it
doesn't bother me that much and I keep on
assuring her she looks fantastic.
She is on birth control tablets that stop
her from having periods, but she used to
have quite painful periods and some acne
problems.
What would you recommend to try?
Thank you all so much!

I think you need to ask her to see a
doctor. If she had problem periods in the
past and now as an adult she still has
acne, she has a hormone imbalance. The
pill usually only supplies estrogen, but
sometimes a synthetic progesterone. These
can dominate testosterone which also gives
women their sex drive.
It's possible a little progesterone cream
applied once a day will help to even her
out (and may help with the acne as well).
If she's unwilling to see a doctor, you
might want to do some reading yourself
about libido and hormones. Start with
what your doctor may not have told you
about premenopause by Dr. Lee, it gives a
great introduction to hormone balancing.
Take care.

Ok ok think thyroid! I know this sounds
weird but if your thyroid is acting up
then it has various effects on your body's
chemistry! Including low sex drive. My
friend is getting hers taken out. Because
hers became swolen (this is what a goiter
is). Once it is taken out she has to be
on medication for the rest of her life to
replace the hormones that were released by
her thyroid. She's more likely to have a
raging sex drive now. That that she
didn't have one already. I feel sorry for
her bf he's going to wear down to nothing
if she's not careful.

My wife had endometrosis and low sex drive
accordingly. After a hysterectomy much
better,ask her if she has any sexual
dreams if no then it is hormonal.Is sex
painful for her?

You think that non-sexual dreams are
related to hormone levels? You know
dreams are subconcious drives trying to be
expressed not physical drives? Dreams are
all about your wants and needs as a mind
not a body.

I understand that about dreams but the
mind controls all urges and hormones can
confuse the mind and turn things off.If a
woman has low sex drive and there is no
other abuse then it is hormonal.

I had the same problem with my girlfriend.
The doctor proposed to her to try pills
for increasing sexual desire. She was
taking sentia and her libido had turned to
normal. We both are much happier now.
Thanks to sentia!
