Herbal supplements to boost libido?

DH and I are going through a really though time.  Our marriage is suffering problems.  One major problem seems to be that he's very unhappy with our sex life. 

Since I gave birth to our son, 19 months ago, my libido has been somewhat non existent and intercourse is also painful to me.  We rarely have sex.  I've heard other women compalin of these issues after giving birth, but how do you fix them? DH seems so unhappy with our marriage these days and I think if this one specific thing can be fixed/helped, we'll have a better chance at improving our other marital issues.

Does anyone have any advice for enhancing the female libido?? I've heard herbal supplements can help.

Re: Herbal supplements to boost libido?

  • I replied to your thread over on the other board.

    You've got much more going on, problemwise, than just a lack of sex in marriage. Marriage isn't only about sex.

    If you think fixing whatever problem there is with your sex life will cure what's wrong with your marriage and dry up the rest of the issues, not gonna happen.

    There is more to the story. Give us the real backstory.

  • No, herbal supplements won't fix your sex life, your marriage or anything else they claim to fix.

    And a lot of them can serious side effects.

    So, save your money and your health and deal with the real issues in your marriage.

    Re: the painful sex, see your OBGYN.

    Maybe marital counseling would help as well.

    Hope is not a strategy.
  • It sounds like you might need vaginal dilators, as can happen to a lot of women after having a baby. Check out vaginismus.com, they also have a book on how to have pain free intercourse. It sounds like you also have postpartum depression, one sympton being a decrease in your labido. You likely need to see a doctor for this, and also to discuss ALL the possible reasons for painful intercourse.
