The Orgasmic Diet
Ok, so I've had NO desire for sex whatsoever. If I never had it again I could care less. I've been tested for hormone imbalances and have smeared enough progesterone and testosterone on my body to make a snowman out of the stuff. So, I've started reading The Orgasmic Diet by Marrena Lindberg. I'm barely into it so I have not started the diet yet, but the basics so far are increasing your consumption of fish oil, dark chocolate (I GUESS I can do it) and a 40/30/30 ratio of carbs, fats and proteins. In addition you're supposed to do keigels or buy a vaginal cone. I've never ever heard of a vaginal cone and it sounds scary so I'll stick with the keigels. I have no problem having an orgasms of any kind but the diet's also supposed to help with that 'problem'. It's nothing fancy, difficult and I don't have to fly to some rainforest to find a magical herb. So, I'm in. I'll update once I start this journey. I'm posting from my Blackberry so sorry for the jumbled info. Happy libido hunting!!!
Re: The Orgasmic Diet
do you think that how you are feeling has anything to do with your pregnancy losses? i hope that doesn't offend you. i don't mean it to, esp since i've been through one myself. but i just wonder if the losses took a toll on you emotionally/mentally, so that now you equate sex with babies and losses.
too much of a stretch? i dunno. probably. anyways, best of luck to you with the diet!!
I'm inclined to agree with jrsygrl. Have you gone to any type of individual counseling?
As for the diet, that's pretty much just the basis of a good, healthy diet. I'm a big believer in the 40:30:30 ratio, because protein is great for making a person feel sated. And fish oil is just good for your heart.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
