Girlfriend Has No Sexual Desire At All Due to Being On Pill. Posted: 07-04-07 20:21pm
Hi all,
Have been with my girl for 4 years now and
besides what goes on in the bedroom (or
what doesnt!) everything is great.
When she was 16 her mother put her on the
pill and shes now 22.
When we were first together things were
pretty good, but as the years have gone on
she finds herself never in the mood, dry
downstairs , Very tender breast etc..
We always have romantic dinners, watch
movies, talk dirty and stuff but when it
comes to the moment she would rather just
doze off..
We went to the docs and she told us that
this is common for some girls who have
been taking the pill form a early age.
She has tried other brands of the pill and
tried to have the IUD thing put in place
but it wouldnt fit so to speak..
She is very sensitive on the issue and
would really like some advice on what to
do..
thanks heapz guys.

I understand how you feel. May I ask what
do you mean when you stated that the IUD
didn't "fit her" . Does that mean that the
doctor already tried inserting the IUD and
he failed or the doctor said that she
can't have an IUD because she never had
children?
I know that this is a very sensitive, yet
serious issue but you can advice your
girlfriend to try other bc options other
than the pill. She could try using the
ring (nuvaring) and see what happens. You
could also try non-hormonal methods to
eliminate the chances of hormonal side
effects such as the lack of sex drive. You
both can try using copper IUD, condoms,
sponge, etc. In order to tell her this w/o
offending her, you can suggest that both
of you should go to a birth control
options talk (planned parenthood usually
host some events like this) so you and
your gf will be familiar with other birth
control options that may suit her.

thanks for your reply.
Yeh thats what the doc told her, wasnt
going to fit because she hasn't had kids.
He tried apparently and she said it hurt
REALLY bad.. so that just added not
wanting to try anything else.
I've suggest'd for to her to try that ring
thing a number of times. No luck, think
the same doc told her it was just like
using the pill anyway. She also doesnt
like the feel of male condoms etc..
My next question is..
Is the Male Pill out yet??
The solution to the problem i think..
Anyone know anything about it?

I'm sorry to tell you but the male pill is
not out yet. It is still under research
and it may take some time for it to become
available and approved by the FDA.
I'm sorry to hear your situation. I'm 19
years old and I haven't had kids but I
have an IUD. It doesn't have hormones so
it does not cause any problems. However, I
think her doctor was wrong when he didn't
prescribe her the ring because "supposedly
it is the same as the pill". Actually the
ring has lower dose of estrogen and has a
different type of progesterone, so the
experience can totally be different.
I also want to ask if you were there when
the IUD was inserted. It maybe because she
was just saying that it didn't fit her
because she does not want to try it out.
