Crappy Sex Life

H and I used to have an AMAZING sex life early in our relationship (the first two years actually).  Usually twice a day, everyday. 

Then, we were forced to do the long distance thing for almost three years and were only able to see each other on the weekends - while we were both living with our parents.  Needless to say, our sex life took a major hit.

When we finally moved in together, we figured the frequency would pick up a little, but no such luck. 

Now (almost two years later), we work opposite shifts, and as you can imagine this makes it even harder!  When we finally do have sex (sometimes only a few times a MONTH) it seems forced - like we're only doing it because we know it'll be awhile before we get the chance to do it again.  While we're having sex it's great, but we both feel like it's not as good as it COULD be because we forced it.

Not to mention, I'm on the pill so I have zero sex drive to begin with. 

Bah Humbug.  Any advice?

  • I just re-read that and laughed because it comes across so dramatic with all the CAPS and exclamation points.  haha, sorry, I'm just so worked up about it now.

  • I think you have identified your own problems and answered your own questions actually.......

    I think this is my problem as well. I have an appt with my gyno to talk about a new brand.

  • Funny you all should mention medications, and not being in the mood. This is crazy, but I just became a consultant for Pure Romance and wow, I have found three things that have gotten me in the mood.

    X-Scream is an arousal cream that is actually recommended for women experiencing low desire due to stress and medication. This stuff is awesome.

    Just Like Me is a gel lubricant that is what it says it is, it is a lubricant that gives you a natural feel, and it can be used with latex condoms.

    7th Heaven - Warming up before the action by yourself makes you feel sexy. It has seven speeds and is guaranteed to produce a toe-curling orgasm.

    Enjoy!

    bmjuett, you might not be aware of this, but the The Nest Terms of Use state:

    No soliciting of any kind on the message boards or in the chat room.

  • My husband and I have the same problem. We were great when we got together then did long distance, finally lived together and things we OK but not great. Then we got engaged and then I started working graveyard and it was non-existent and still after a year its just awkward. Everything else is great but not that. If you figure out how to fix your's let me know cuz Im in the same boat!
