No sex drive...

Ok, here it goes. Help me out everyone - 

 

I have zero sex drive. Zero. Every time I even try to think about sex, my mind goes elsewhere. I'm a newlywed, and I feel like something is wrong with our marriage - or me - because of this. I've never been able to "o" without aid from "tools" and my husband knows this and is ok with it. Am I just not a sexual person, or is something wrong with me? 

Re: No sex drive...

  • How about masturbation or oral? Have you orgasmed from either or both?

    If you haven't tried either, start. I guarantee you you'll be way psyched for sex after that.:)
  • Have you ever seen porn? That might help give you ideas of things to see what you're into. Not everyone is into the same basic thing... and women are more complex than men!! Most of all, don't let the mental side bother you... stop worrying and just see what's enjoyable with your H!

  • Well, no success without the aid of tools...if you catch my drift. It's just I have no desire...I feel messed up!
  • Are you on any birth controls? They can reduces libido, I personally suffer from that. I also have never been able to without tools and likewise my FI is cool with this. We watch porn together to get ideas of things to try and sometimes to get one or the other excited, but there is no reason it has to be together. Would he be interested in incorperating tools into sex? My FI is still a little uncomfortable with this but he's come around to sharing the action with a tool if I'm really struggling. Sometimes just trying sex can help your desire. If FI or I hit a rut the other will ask for either sex or a sexual favor on occasion and eventully the rut ends. Perhaps you need more warm up? Sometimes my FI and I will tease each other and get the other looking forward to a treat that night all day.

     

    You don't have to have complete satisfaction every time, most of the time I have sex I focus on enjoying the situation and giving my FI satisfaction and it's a lovely experience. Just last night FI requested an act and I wasn't in the mood but gave it a go and by the end I was really glad I had. In other words, keep trying, you'll figure something out that works for you.

  • I had the same problem. It was because of the medications I was on. Blood pressure and antidepressents. Turns out it was my blood pressure medication. I switched and now I feel more "desire". Also, birth control can lower your sex drive to. I would talk to your doctor if you are on medications that may be inhibiting your libido.

  • Those are GREAT ideas - you're the first person I've talked to that sounds like you have the same thing going on - it's so nice not to feel alone! I'm gonna give that stuff a shot - and see the doc about my perscriptions. THANK YOU! 
  • I'm also having a problem with my sex drive. I have zero too. I'm hoping that'll change when we move out to our apt and have more alone time
  • i have zero as well.. i mean once we get past the foreplay i enjoy it but just thinkin about it i have no desire...  i have a thyroid problem which i have been told can mess around with that but who knows if that is what the problem is... also birth control can cause a drop in your libido .. you can talk to a doctor abou tit though
