I love my husband, but lately I feel like I don't want to have sex with him. Is this normal in any relationship? How can I desire sex again without going to a doctor which would cost money or a bit embarrassing?

Well, alot of things could be contributing to this. How old are you? Did you recently have a baby? If you did, your hormones will have taken a very serious dip. If you are over 30, your hormones are also starting to decline, and you may need a supplement like Progesterone cream and Estroven. Have you recently started taking any medications? Some will decrease your sex drive as a side effect. Drinking alcohol will have a similar effect, often. Are you getting enough exercise? Enough sleep? Eliminate all possible causes, and then look at what might be left, in your personal life. I wish you luck!

I feel exactly the same way. I am 43 and my hormones are fine (had them tested). It has got to be a combo of things, at least in my case. Maybe you are similar? I work full time, have a decent commute, have a 2 year old and I feel like I don't have any energy for "extra" things. I can barely keep up on my day to day life. This is going to sound terrible, but I feel like sex is just another thing on the long list of things I'm supposed to accomplish in my day and I simply don't have the time or energy to devote to it. I can't figure out what to do about this quandry. I don't think we should just do it because we are supposed to. I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

My friend had the same thing going on, and she had her hormones tested and she was fine....acorrding to them. She started taking Adrenal Support from http://www.worldlifesupplements.com/prod_an75010.html and she swears by it. She has more energy and her sex drive has increased. I take it, but it helps me with my stress levels and because I take it in the am, by night, I can actually relax and sleep....but then again, I take the calcium as well.

sometimes you have to take the action first and the feelings will come later. So continue to be intimate with your husband and you may find you enjoy it afterward even if you weren't that interested to begin with.

I think that's normal - I've heard that so many times. Look on the internet (google) this and see if there are some solutions, and try what the women below have suggested, but if nothing works, sometimes you just gotta do what you don't want to do, because if you end up never having sex with him, he may look elsewhere for it. Hate to say it, but a lot of men would do that. Yes, there are some men who wouldn't do that either, but marriage is work, and sometimes we have to do things we don't feel like doing in order to keep the marriage working. Good luck!
