Lost sex drive - Sexual Health - Women Message Board

I am in my late 30's and do not have a sex drive any longer. I talked to my GYN about it and she says she hears that all of the time. I used to want sex a few times a week and now I would be happy with once or twice a month!! (sometimes just the thought of it disgusts me) I am not taking any medications. Anybody else experiencing this?

That is sad that your doctor just said she hears that alot...there are ways to figure out what is going on. Either go see your regular dr or your gyn and askt o have your hormones tested to see if they are off. It could be yourhormones are off and that caused the lack of interest. Also if anything has changed in your life the stress from that can effect you too. Diet believe it or not plays a role also.

I'm 27 and I've had the same thing happen to me though. Its really simple to cause, hard to cure. Its called...

I had kids.

But seriously 2-4 times a month is the norm for me since I had kids. My childbirth shredded me pretty good down there, now its either pain or no feeling. What I do is out of sympathy for my always erect husband. I feel so bad for him. I hate what I have become but I, like you have no clue how to fix it.

Good luck, and I hope some one has an answer that will help us both!

I have the same prob w/my husband! He's never been a sexual ball of fire, but over the last several years, maybe once a year is all I get! I'd love to have it every few weeks, I mean, I'm only 38! Sexual prime and all that. And he's only 42! He's killing me!

Seriously, Gennale, how old are your kids and what does your gyn say???
