Recently my sex drive has dwidled down to practically nothing whereas i used to enjoy it daily now i find having sex to be nothing but a chore, even though i climax every time
H says that I became this way since i found out about his EA 1.5 years ago and he may well be right however i contibute it more to the pregnacy and birth of our son (son is 7 weeks)even though i heard that you sex drive increases with pregancy.
i dont understand where my sex drive went and it bothers me a great deal.
i dont think it has to do with H's EA cause it isnt like i just dont want to have sex with him ..i dont want to have sex PERIOD. it may be a self esteem issue mine is rather low right now and since his EA even lower.. however i dont want to go on antidepressants.
as of now we have sex twice maybe 3 times a week. and H complains about its infrequency.<p>what the hell is going on with me im only 26 ?
all comments welcome
thanks all for listening<p>any suggestions on ALL NATURAL aphrodesiacs welcome.

your son is only 7 weeks and you are wondering why you aren't interested in sex? [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Yes, some women have increased sex drives during pregnancy...others lose all interest. It's about hormones.<p>At only 7 weeks postpartum, your body is still a raging hormonal mess trying to adjust. Your OB can advise you, but you will probably find out that this is pretty common. <p>Not only is your body going back to nonpregnancy state...but you have got major life adjustments to get used to with a little one taking up every moment of your day.<p>I don't think anything is wrong...you are a new mom and it sounds pretty normal.

i agree your a new mom nad your feeling and thoughts will be with your child! I say your husband is an extremely lucky man if you are making love 2-3 a week and have a 7 week old. I'm jealous! Most guys don't get that with a 7 yr old in the house. Nothing is wrong with you!! Your normal and I do believe you are still meeting yur H SF need quite well in MHO.

its being new home, not only adjusting body, but all the demands, it is normal at this stage in your motherhood and marriage. IT was that way for me both times... 2 kids... it takes a while to feel sexy as a mom... honey
