Ladies, I need some serious help!  Ever since my youngest was born (16 mos ago) I have had ZERO sex drive at all.  It's not that I don't want to and it's not that I don't enjoy it...it's just that...well...I don't want it?  I feel bad because my husband and I used to have a great sex life and I feel like I'm making him suffer :(  I need some ideas that can help me spice it up in the bedroom.  I need something to...idk...get me more into it?  Anyone been through this?  HELP, please!!!!

MAKE yourself do it every day for a week.  I have found out that I just get to the point where I could care less if I get any, BUT if I just start getting more, then I want more.  It's like you've got to wake the beast up! Go for it.

What makes you feel sexy?  That will help him out!  If you aren't feeling it, then it's not gonna happen...so what do YOU want to do to feel sexy??

I never thought about it that way, but I guess that makes sense...at the very least, my husband will be thrilled, LOL!

You need to feel good about yourself, get enough sleep and exercise...All these things help with a better sex drive. Among other things you can do.  Oh, and if your stress that really kills things.

That might be part of it, too...I've had 2 kids, both over 9lbs, lovely stretch marks, a lovely c-section "skin apron", and am heavier than when we started dating...so, that could lend to it...LOL

if you're comfortable with it - visit an adult store together and pick some things out to try together.

Are you on BC?  That can really mess with your libido.

We used to do that before we had kids :)  We haven't done that in a while, though...might be fun to go again...

Nope.  Never have been, never will be...it's just not for me.

Make a date, mark it on the calendar, think about it all the time. Believe me, when the time comes you'll be ready for it! ;)
