TRUE
I believe its true about the whole loss of sexual interest thing. I mean sometimes I want it so bad and then others I justy dont need it. Its bad for my boyfriend but it hardly bothers me and I feel bad. Im not into the drugs fro making things better but I do believe I need to take some time to just relax more and so I wont be tired all the time as well as working out not to the point of exhaustion like I always do... yeah this is cool!
Yoga, bike riding etc
and meditation along with book reading on the Sexual ecstasy (by Margot Anand) helps the focus of couples in their discovery of each other, communication and learning about the human body and turn-ons as well as a closeness and succeeding in expanding each others orgasmic potental.
Great discoveries start small and build to an everlasting power within.
dryspell?
I do not agree with medicating a woman to increase their sexual desire. As stated a woman functions differently than a man. In my first marriage i only felt as i was "going through the motions". We had a connection but were not on the same page as to what we both needed. This led to many fights and ended in divorce. It was very tramatic and i did not think sex could be any better than what i had already experienced. I would fantasize about what i desired all the time believing it would never be possible. I got to know my own body on a personal level. Then i met michael. There is always lots of kissing and that was very important to me. We have mind blowing encounters everytime and we cant get enough of eachother. We both have a understanding of what eachother needs and want. Its not alot of work to make eachother happy in that area. Going through a dryspell, just means something is missing and one of the partners has forgotten what it was the other is needing. Its a mind set. Once a woman gives up on what she desires it can be very hard to get it back. Also spicing things up may not work if you do not have the emotional connection required to completely let go sexually. If you go into making love thinking you will not be satisfied then most likley you will not be. There are many things you can do to "feel" again. Are you willing to give it a shot? Just think a minute you will come up with something.
Sounds like the men need treatment
Don't you usually treat the one with the problem?
Maybe that porn is so prevalent is one of the reasons the men seem to be so distressed. Why treat the woman? The man could gete a drug to lower his libido? Stop watching porn and getting amped up, join reality, instead of trying to get your wife to watch it? Pay more attention to your real life realtionship and true love and you might be more satisfied.
BTW, this is coming form someone who's dh says he often feels like a "piece of meat" and his drive isn't as high as mine.
Post-surgical libido problems
Had my oopeherectomy and hysterectomy at 45, before any sign of menopause..and so went into instant menopause..and depression..didn't loose my desire, lost my ability to orgasm easily and with the same intensity..which made my husband depressed as well as he blamed himself!! It's been many years, and have not been able to change things..but would really like to..I've been widowed 8 years and am in a new relationship..andk this good gentleman blames himself too!!Any help out there? Ginko, L_Arginine, Korean Ginseng,DHEA...none of these work (although I continue to take them)Sadness persists..
Better living thru chemistry?
At least that is what the advertisments say. ;)
5 Ways to boost sex drive
I would like to put in a word for those of us with great partners and who still have low to no sex drive. I truly miss that intimacy with my husband and feel like I'm letting him down. He is wonderful about it but I know he would like more opportunity to express that side of our relationship. I've been experiencing this for years and have never found a doctor who thought it was important. Even my female GYN seemed uncomfortable when I brought it up. I'm only in my mid 50's and it's a quality of life issue. I think that if you have never experienced this it's hard to imagine the way it feels.
Joshua of CA is right!
I take supplemental testosterone(& estrogen & progesterone- all balanced)and I am much more hot to trot these days. Basically I would say I now have the hormonal balance of a 40 year old I guess (I am 55). I plan to take these wonderful bioidentical hormones til I no longer care- til 80? at least! They are simply wonderful and oh, so effective. They are incredibly anti-aging imo but I haven't the time here to document the positive changes I've seen in my skin, weight (more muscle mass a little), mood, etc.
If I had to pick a favorite it would be testosterone because it has increased my energy. It has also actually changed my personality so that I am even more confident with people.
Now I have always been attractive, slim, etc. but now the testy seems to attract men BIG TIME. It wasn't a problem til recently and I'll leave it at that (I am married) so yes, these drugs might have some unexpected consequences*....
