There is no need to stress about it. A
lessening sex drive can mean many things
and be caused by many things. The easiest,
fastest, and safest course of action is to
see a sex therapist, or look up things
online about women who lose their sex
drive.

I agree with Eiri, see a sex therapist, or
a marriage and family therapist if you are
not quite comfortable with a sex
therapist. It's ok to have a low sex
drive, but when you say that you feel
nervous or scared that is not something
you want to live with. Some suggestions
are to help take the pressure off of sex,
try things to make it more fun (games,
toys, if you are comfortable) and be
prepared to spend a lot of time during sex
so you are comfortable with the whole
process. Go slowly and try to enjoy each
other's bodies (I know it is weird when
you have been with someone for a long time
but it helps) and don't put too much
pressure on orgasm. Just try to enjoy
yourself. Talk to your partner about it
and spend time connecting emotionally as
well- this often helps. Get dressed up and
go on a date!
However, (and I said this somewhere else
too) an abnormally high or low sex drive
can be a symptom of many physical or
mental disorders. If you are having any
other symptoms, like changes in energy
level, changes in mood, changes in weight,
or anything, see a doctor. It could be
many things, depression, hypothyroidism,
hormonal abnormalitites etc. If you think
this might be possible, see a doctor!!
If that's not the case, then just know
that sex should be fun, not a chore. It
tends to get that way when you've been
with someone for a long time, but it
doesn't have to be. Like I said, a
marriage and family therapist can help, or
just trying to spice it up yourself. I
hope this helps.
