An embarrasing question...

[Patryn]

Like the subject says, this is kind of embarrasing for me to ask, but....here goes anyway.

First, a little background on the last month or so. I haven't changed jobs, shifts, relationships, diet or anything significant, or been under any major stress. Yet, since about the aforementioned month ago, I have practically no libido...none. Nothing "does it" for me any more...not porn, not stories, not fantasies, nothing.

Now, I have studied and know to be true that a person's libido ebbs and flows through various stages of their lives, and for some time now, I haven't been an oversexed teenager...*grin*

I also know the pill, which I take for medical reason, can be a factor, but I've takedn it for over a year now, and this has just been recent.

I realize that I may just be going through one of those stages of changes in desire, but overnight? I'm not too worried about it...I feel fine otherwise, and since I'm not in a relationship right now, I kind of look at it as a blessing, but has this happened to anyone else?

I don't know, Patryn, but the only thing I can think to curb the libido that fast is food. Even if you're not overweight, doing things like drinking too much diet soda can make you feel bloated and poochy and decidedly unsexy. The wrong food can crush your energy and certainly your libido.

I've had those cycles, and they are just that -- cycles. It could be, too, that you are concentrating on other things right now, and putting your energy to those.

Chances are, you'll be back in sexy form when ready for it.

It has happened to all of us at one time or another it could be that there is a lot of stress on your mind whether it is work or home or anything. It could also be your diet as others have told you it can be a lot of things my advice to you is try relaxing go for walks mediate think of positive things in your life you may be feeling overwhelmed with you life right now. Don't worry though it happens it just a change your body may be going through right now.

The problem is all in your mind.

Patryn, I refer you back to your thread about the dream you had involving DCL. Now you claim your libido is all shot to hell. Welll! 1+1=2

off hand, i'd say don't sweat it, things will turn around. although i might look into your meds. even after a year, certain drugs could have some side effects, especially anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.

I think worrying about it might do more harm than letting go and allowing things to smooth out on your own. We can't always be on the make or ready to intertwine in bed 24 hours a day. There's nothing wrong with not being interested in sex for a while. That's what makes us human. Otherwise, we'd be robots.

Hi Patryn!....It could be any number of reasons,why you don't have any sexual drive.I have a few suggestions for you.Try to relaxe some night,when your by yourself.Turn the lights down low,put some soft music on,and fix a tub of nice hot soupy,(and I mean soouuuppppy water.)and just lay back and just melt away.Think about some of the best orgasims you have had,and try to recreate the moment.It's not rocket science,but it works for me!
