Sure, there are those times when your partner initiates sex and you just don't feel like it. But many women complain about never wanting to have sex—despite being attracted to their partner. As it turns out, lack of sex drive in women may be more common than you think. Here are some common causes:

I can't tell you how many copies of the Position of the Day Playbook I got at my bachelorette party (a lot, thanks to my "helpful" girlfriends).
Apparently, someone thought couples shouldn't have all the fun and created a chart of sexual positions for the lonely with very similar graphics. Click the link to view.
What's your favorite solo position?

I laughed when I read this article about a woman who answered a text in the middle of having sex. But apparently texting during sex is more common that I thought: In fact, some studies suggest that one-fifth of us interrupt sex to read an email, take a call, or tweet.
Really, people? (Barring an emergency) what could possibly be so important?

With Halloween coming up and lots of people wearing costumes, why not take them into the bedroom?
It doesn't have to be one of those sexy costumes to make things hotter in between the sheets. It can be all about the role you play with that costume.
Picture this for Halloween: You are a witch in a long black dress and pointy hat; he is a ghost in a sheet with just the eyes cut out....

My husband and I aren't having much sex these days, but it's because I'm hugely pregnant -- 7 months along with twins. I'm lucky if I can waddle my way to the bathroom to pee. OK, it's not that bad, but as much as my mind would like to do the deed, my body isn't into it. But I am all for some massaging.
Could go for some right now...ankles please.
Erotic massage is great foreplay -- it helps sex last longer. Sure it may not change how long there is actual penetration, but this can help work up both partners to have stronger orgasms and prolong intimacy.
Massages are good even if you don't get to the sex part. So why not, right?
Here's what you need for an erotic massage....

Do you feel comfortable talking to your doctor about sex? A new survey suggests that more than 80 percent of women do NOT discuss sexual problems with their health care provider. I bet you can guess the reason behind this reluctance, right?
A majority of women report having experienced a sexual issue, but were afraid of embarrassing their doctor by asking such basic sexual health questions as: "Why does it hurt when I have sex?" Or, "Will sex be the same after a vaginal delivery?"

This question generated a hot discussion recently in the CafeMom Newcomers Club: What's the longest you've gone without having sex with a partner?
The range of answers might just surprise you. It definitely surprised me! Some moms aren't having any sex, and, wow, some moms, well...you'll have to see for yourself.

I once had a conversation with my mom about loud porno sex. I have no idea how this topic was brought up. My mom and I do talk about lots of things, though sex usually isn't on that list. Sometimes, but not down and dirty nitty gritty talk.
She told me how she hated the fake sounding oohs and ahhs commonly found in porn. (OK, I'm realizing how gross this is sounding. My mom is talking about porn and I am sharing it with you. Hi, Mom!)
But I have to agree with her. There is a difference between natural oooh baby love sounds and fake I"'m just doing it to do it" guttural moans.

Oh the ever daunting question of how many sexual partners you've had.
Some have no problem revealing the number, others...well maybe they can't remember. I had an ex-boyfriend tell me he had no idea. I assumed the worst -- maybe he couldn't count that high.

Some of us complain that we aren't having enough sex. So I guess we should look into how much we actually initiate it.
Does saying "I'm feeling sexy time" count?
