OK well my wife and I have been married for about 3yrs now. I'm now in dire strates lol. While my S.D. is in overdrive it woud seem that her clutch fell out in reverse. I've tried alot of stuff from plannig a romantic night (and get it tossed back and me with "I'm goin to bed good night". To just tryin to be spontanious. Well, to me at least, it seems that she doesn't really care at all about sex and well this causes a few problems in it self. We've talked about this stuff before and does anyone know of any drugs or herbel stuf that can help with a womens S.D. If yas got any other suggestions I'd like to hear them thx

Starym:
It seems entirely possible to me that something may have occurred that has driven her away from romanticism. It's possible that maybe something happened while you were being intimate that really offended her, or possible that she's become afraid of being intimate due to something you've said during the day. It's also entirely possible that she's looked on your past intimate cycles, thought herself to be too brazen, and has toned down accordingly.
I would suggest talking to her about it. This is a tough topic to approach. Make sure you approach her openly, calmly. Try not to use attacking words, or any manner that may look like an attack. She's likely really uncomfortable about the topic, and may shy away easily. Try approaching it like, "We don't make love nearly as much as we used to. Can we talk about that?" or, "I can't help but notice how often you pull back when I want to make love. At first I thought you were just tired or stressed out. Now I'm worried there is more to it. Please tell me what's going on."
Now, she may reply to this with some sort of accusation, it's important that you do your best not to take offence. Try to remain open to the conversation, and calm. Try not to pressure her, as the pressure you may be putting on her to perform may be the very thing that's turning her off.
If she accuses you of being the problem, try to be supportive, "You're right. Maybe I haven't been the nicest person. Maybe I'm frustrated, too. Can we figure out a way to put things back together?"
It's important that you're both working together on the solution, and that you're not placing blame on anyone. Remember that you're a team in this.
Another thing you may want to try is just going out on a brisk walk for like 20-30 minutes... Some research has shown that women tend to be easier to arouse after intense aerobic exercise..<p>Just my 2 cents.

Have to agree a bit with DarC. My wife told me three years ago that she just "wasn't very horny", which was BS. At that time, I had a bad attitude about her and didn't treat her with a great deal of respect. Hence, she had a 2-year A--<p>It starts with romance, meeting their EN's and building up to it. Unfortunately, rare is the woman who is ready to throw down at the drop of a hat, without the needs being met. <p>It's a two way street. To get your needs met, you will have to meet hers or she will continue to withdraw.<p>Hope that helps,<p>Guido [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]
