Default Sexual drive

I seem to have a low sex drive, and haven't always had that problem. Does anyone else have this issue.. do you think it's a health issue?

What is going on in your life? Are you stressed or more tired than usual? It could be a number of things. You might want to discuss this with your doctor. They can give you something to help.

I can relate 100% and it's annoying because this is nothing like me at all! I think mine is related to the meds I'm taking (birth control and also anti depressants) and also from all the stress that's been going on in my life. I am feeling better though now that I moved outta state Try to make some YOU time and just relax...

I don't think that a low sex drive has to always be an indicator of a problem. Some people have low sex drives. Maybe this could be attributed to what's going on in a person's life or a simple disinterest in sex at the moment. This could just be a phase. It could pass soon.

I used to have the opposite problem. My husband had the low sex drive. Now I guess I`m so used to it mine is low too. Or it could be the next phase of menopause for me.

I have went through stages of both in my life a few times. I have had a crazy, crazy high sex drive and then an insanely low one. I think it may have to do with something going on in your life lately.

Or maybe you just need to spice things up. Try wearing something sexy, or maybe doing it in a place that's more fun for you. Ask you man if he can do what you like best. I find that to be the most helpful for me

Try to relax more and eat some dark chocolates. They say it improves the sex drive.

Actually, dark chocolates are considered to be an aphrodisiac but they don't treat low sex drive. In order to improve it, you would have to feel better about yourself first. Meditation and regular relaxation exercises are one way to go; but it is always good to consider the medical aspect of the issue and consult your doctor just in case.

Yeah, chocolate! Many people believe it can increases our sexual drive. You can try also banana. Somehow it increases our self esteem. Other than food, jasmine fragrance arouses romantic feeling and sexual drive also.

Yes... I am going to speak to my Dr about this... I find that the more I work-out the better it is for my sex-drive, but you are right about the feeling good about yourself... you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.. physically and emotionally.

I'm going to try the dark chocolates and jasmine candles. Even if they are myths, it's something enjoyable anyway!

I am much the same. I have an extremely low sex drive, while my partner has an extremely high one.

It's getting to the point now where I am actually starting to worry about it, and that is making the problem a much bigger one.
