Low Sex Drive

Wow.....Sounds like me in some ways. I wish I had an answer for you but maybe it is your testosterone level or that your hormones are off kilter. Get thoe levels tested and talk to the gyn. It helped me some. It may get better. I keep hoping mine increases and back to normal. If you push him away as I did my husband then he won't approach you later on down the road. Tell him that sex is great but right now can we just hold each other........Interest may start after some snuggle time. Piglady

Damn girl I think you just explained what a lot of woman can't. I really do believe that to a certain extent we can lose our interest in men/sex b/c of negative experiences. But I can't shake the fact that at one point I used to be such a horny girl! I really think rx drugs including birth control and antidepressants which a majority of us woman are on can be teh real reason... It is very easy for anything synthetic we put into our bodies to throw off the natural chemical/hormonal imbalance.
Get your hormones checked thats what im doing!!

To the poster above me ^^^ what did u take for your hormonal imbalance?? Im considering doing the testosterone patch...

Hi all, thought I would try and help out here.

Yes biondo_bella is right about birth control and antidepressants.

The birth control chemicals disable the pituitary-ovarian functions for no more androstenedione and testosterone production (the adrenal glands can contribute only about 10% !) and deactivates the liver function that supports the cholesterol-hormone conversion and the neurotransmitter synthesis from proteins and that stimulates the production of shgb (sex-hormone-binding globulin) to bind testosterone.

As a result, the sex nerve is desensitized, the arterial dilation mechanism is blocked, more cholesterol is deposited in the arteries to block the blood circulation, and the production of the relaxation/elasticity hormone prostaglandin e-1 (pge-1) in the vaginal tissue and orifice drops or even stops.

Without pge-1 in the vaginal and vulva tissues, the local nerves and tissues can not withhold compression, expansion, stretching or friction. This causes intercourse or penetration pains (vaginismus) and vulva abrasion ( vulvodynia).

Using spermicide jelly (k-y jelly) in the conceptive period which is from the 11th to the 17th day after the beginning of the last period. For safety, select the period from 10th to 18th day.

Using spermicide jelly (k-y jelly) + condom around the ovulation day, including 1-day before and after ovulating, (the ovaulation day is at the half of the menstrual cycle after the beginning of the last period).

Requirements: the couple must be deep in love, giving up sexual freedom for sexual orgasm.

This natural contraceptive method will give a loving couple for more sexual orgasm!

Try taking daily:

fish oil 3000mg
borage oil 3000mg
l-arginine 1500mg

this will boost the prostaglandin e1 synethisis.

I have a very low sex drive and it seems to also run in the family, in the beginning of me and my boyfriends relationship we were unstopabble but now it has seemed to dwindled to near zero and i just dont have the umf anymore. and i know it bothers my boyfriend because his is so high and i know hes trying to be sweet about it but i just dont feel the urge anymore. and i really wanna get back on track ive tryed everything and nothing seems to work. im just afraid he will start getting sick of me or bored. we've tryed everything to spice it up but nothing. =/ i love him with all my heart and will do anything even if it means forcing myself to have sex with him even when i dont want to. i love him and i just want to be back to normal ='[
