Hello all..It's been a while for me on
this forum.
I have been having a lot of trouble with
my sex drive. It's very, very low.
I use to have a high sex drive and then
two relationships with really really bad
sex put me on a damper. I'm in a new
(although not so new relationship because
we dated 3 years ago) and we had great
sex. But although my sex drive has gone
up, is still really damp. And some times
I cringe away from his touches or if I
notice he might try and touch me
seductively. I hate this. One ex
boyfriend kinda made me feel gross about
sex and I cannot shake it off.
Any one on suggestons or anyone facing or
faced myproblem? I would be greatful for
some input.
Thanks!

Wow.....Sounds like me in some ways. I
wish I had an answer for you but maybe it
is your testosterone level or that your
hormones are off kilter. Get thoe levels
tested and talk to the gyn. It helped me
some. It may get better. I keep hoping
mine increases and back to normal. If
you push him away as I did my husband then
he won't approach you later on down the
road. Tell him that sex is great but
right now can we just hold each
other........Interest may start after some
snuggle time. Piglady

Damn girl I think you just explained what
a lot of woman can't. I really do believe
that to a certain extent we can lose our
interest in men/sex b/c of negative
experiences. But I can't shake the fact
that at one point I used to be such a
horny girl! I really think rx drugs
including birth control and
antidepressants which a majority of us
woman are on can be teh real reason... It
is very easy for anything synthetic we put
into our bodies to throw off the natural
chemical/hormonal imbalance.
Get your hormones checked thats what im
doing!!
To the poster above me ^^^ what did u take
for your hormonal imbalance?? Im
considering doing the testosterone
patch...

i just gave this advice to another member,
but thought I would post it here for you
girls too. I got my hormones tested for
the same reason and they came back normal.
Normal to the docs is anything that falls
into a very large spectrum and even though
one level might be normal for some its not
for all. I started using this natural
remedy called maca 500mg three times a
day. It not only balances hormone
levels,but also gives you more energy and
helps with infertility problems. Its been
used for thousands of years and is very
safe. Do a search and check it out. It
works and it doesn't cost very much.

Hi all, thought I would try and help out
here.
Yes biondo_bella is right about birth
control and antidepressants.
The birth control chemicals disable the
pituitary-ovarian functions for no more
androstenedione and testosterone
production (the adrenal glands can
contribute only about 10% !) and
deactivates the liver function that
supports the cholesterol-hormone
conversion and the neurotransmitter
synthesis from proteins and that
stimulates the production of shgb
(sex-hormone-binding globulin) to bind
testosterone.
As a result, the sex nerve is
desensitized, the arterial dilation
mechanism is blocked, more cholesterol is
deposited in the arteries to block the
blood circulation, and the production of
the relaxation/elasticity hormone
prostaglandin e-1 (pge-1) in the vaginal
tissue and orifice drops or even stops.
Without pge-1 in the vaginal and vulva
tissues, the local nerves and tissues can
not withhold compression, expansion,
stretching or friction. This causes
intercourse or penetration pains
(vaginismus) and vulva abrasion (
vulvodynia).
Using spermicide jelly (k-y jelly) in the
conceptive period which is from the 11th
to the 17th day after the beginning of the
last period. For safety, select the
period from 10th to 18th day.
Using spermicide jelly (k-y jelly) +
condom around the ovulation day, including
1-day before and after ovulating, (the
ovaulation day is at the half of the
menstrual cycle after the beginning of the
last period).
Requirements: the couple must be deep in
love, giving up sexual freedom for sexual
orgasm.
This natural contraceptive method will
give a loving couple for more sexual
orgasm!
Try taking daily:
fish oil 3000mg
borage oil 3000mg
l-arginine 1500mg
this will boost the prostaglandin e1
synethisis.
