I'm a 25y male in a 3y relationship with a 24y female. For the past couple of years her libido have gone down by a lot, she said that she doesn't know why, already have went to some gynecologists and none come with any solutions.
We had this talk and she said that she doesn't feel desire, the times we do sex she said she do bc I started but after that she enjoy (She never starts)
Have anyone had similar experiences and overcome that? We really have few sex relations and this bothers me a little

Could it be her contraceptive? My sex drive goes down a lot when I’m on BC

She stopped a while and didn't change anything unfortunately

A woman’s body and man’s body DOES NOT operate the same, the first thing I need all men to understand. But honestly Op, it could be a plethora of reasons why her sex drive is low- stress, the increase/decrease of a certain hormone, doesn’t find herself attractive right now, maybe you’re lacking in the sex department & she doesn’t really like having sex w/ you, etc. Like I said there’s many reasons and there’s many ways you can go about handling this. I do have 1 question Op, if you know her sex drive right now is low what’s wrong with you initiating? Personally my sex drive declines significantly if I haven’t been touched in a while- maybe help her get her mojo back. Try going for 3/week for 2 weeks and let us know if she’s craving it by week 3. I’m rooting for y’all!

It’s been 2 years. Doesn’t matter what’s happening if you can’t link to anything that can be medically fixed eg depression or wrong birth control. I’m 29 and spent 25-27 with a man like this and feel like my time and youth was wasted. Made me feel unwanted and spent some time in therapy and in bad situationsHips recovering from the rejection. Couldn’t bring myself to marry a man who didn’t want sex as much as I do. It gets better! At 29 I met a wonderful man with an equally high libido and life is a dream

Move on... No therapist is going to fix her. Waste of time and energy. Move on... Was married for 16 years to a spouse that was very similar. I came up with 4 aspects I required in a relationship. You only get up 3 you won't be with me... Affection, Compassion, Empathy, Intimacy...

Apparently his ex-wife. But I think it's worth trying therapy. Maybe there are other stressor in her life that result in lower libido?

Happened to me, maybe she has PCOS? My husband has very high libido. I never initiate, he does, and I just go with it. Been together 11 years. If it's a problem for you then leave now, don't drag her along. You just have to decide how big of a problem it is that she doesn't initiate. It's not that we don't find our SO attractive or anything. It's kind of like a sex depression, we just don't have the urge to do it.

Yeah I like the sounds of sex depression. Going to use that as my excuse for not getting any in the last year.

Lol "f***, I'm lonely"

Some medications have this effect (antidepressants for example). There’s the unfortunate possibility she may not be physically attracted to you. Might be asexual (look it up). Might be reconsidering her sexual identity or orientation. Could be insecurity in the bedroom. Lack of excitement or desire. Boredom of same routine. These are all difficult topics to bring up but potentially worth considering.

Is she on any long term birth control? This happened to me. My libido dissipated for years. I recently got off a few months ago and it has been a complete 180. Quite shocking really.

Is she on birth control or has she changed her birth control? The pill killed my sex drive. Might be worth looking into.

like

I was very similar at that age. It was a combination of very low testosterone, the kind of birth control I was taking , and depression/anti-depressants. It took like ten years to figure out - multiple doctors just wrote me off or didn’t take me seriously. I’d encourage her to find a new doctor who will listen, run some blood work, and keep working to find a birth control that will be best for her. It ruined a few relationships for me before I had this figured out.

Get therapy

Probably stress

Could be depression

Could be the birth control if she's on it
