Complete lack of sex drive is killing my marriage-NEED HELP:

Post a new topicby lackinglust on Mon Jun 02, 2008 9:15 pm

The title says it all. I don't know what to do anymore. I am very lucky to have such a patient and faithful husband. I lost my sex drive completely after having baby #2, once I get into the act I eventually become aroused, however I never initiate since there is no drive whatsoever. My husband also has been working midnights which is actually 6p.m. to 6 a.m. at his work since just after baby #2 which then means we don't even sleep together anymore anyway so there's that lack of closeness as well. I guess I just don't know what to do!! Any advice please?????

I don't have the answer for you but at least you are seeking out answers and appear to be genuinely concerned about your husband's sex life. Too many women are in a similar situation but do not actively look for solutions or have concern for their husbands. When wives lose interest in sex it is typically the husbands who suffer the most. By recognizing the problem you are well on your way to the solution, so best of luck.

I work in the field of sexual health and relationships and I can say that this is one of the most common issues that brings couples in for counseling. I would urge you to seek professional help. It is an investment of money and time (and emotions, etc) but it is worth the effort if it saves your marriage.

Another option would be to join an online support group or online learning program. We have a group called E-Sensual Woman that is a monthly class and an online support group with learning modules developed by a certified sex therapist. This option is cheaper and women can go at their own pace.

Whatever option you choose, I hope that you will be proactive and take steps towards the intimacy and sexual satisfaction that you both deserve.

hi - I have been married to the same guy for ten years and lived with him for 12 before we got married - I am also taking a medication that inhibited my sex drive. about three months ago a girlfriend gave me a juice that is high in antioxidants,phytonutirents, fatty acids and glucosamine - I do not know how it works but my sex drive has gone through the ROOF - over the past month I have had more sex then I had in the previous six and it was not just - "lets do it so he does not cheat sex" it was sex where I felt active and engaged

the added benefit is that I have felt much more intiamate with my husband out of bed - so we are both getting what we want.

email me if you want more information and to learn how you can get the juice

I am sorry my email has been removed - I do not know if this is the board policy - I also have a website it is

[moderator note: website address has been removed]

or you can call me at [moderator note: phone number has been removed]

this is not a scam - I have found something that WORKS and I want to share it with others - I was in a position where I did not remember what I was missing until I got it back

if my website and phone is removed again if you can think of some other way to contact me I will be happy to answer any questions

maybe they will let your email address stay I do not know - but I will check back and respond to anyone who leaves a request

this product has given me hope that I can have a full, active, healthy sex life with a person i love for many years to come - for a long time I did not think this was possible

get in to marital counseling asap.. before its too late and the damage is too deep to repair...
women need to feel emotionally connected in order to desire sex... which is probably the main
reason you have low desire... also hormonal reasons after having a baby could come into play..

from experience.. ive been there.... sounds like you want to work and fix this.. just dont wait..
do it now.. with or without your husband, you need help
