I'm Currently Feeling: | Sex Has anyone else completely lost their sex drive??
I wasn't sex crazy before but I really enjoyed sex with my boyf now I feel weird about it and really anti-sex even foreplay for him and it's making me feel bad.
He is totally cool with me so it's not like I'm being pressured I just feel bad- I get in from work and just want to get under the duvet and sleep for about 15 hours! I even tried to be sexy the other night- got myself all in the mood and was thinking I would please the OH but by the time he'd brushed his teeth and got into bed I was asleep!! woke up the next morning starkers and feeling very confused as didn't realise it was the morning!
I just feel a bit bad! we haven't had sex since January! he must be getting secretly frustrated mustn't he?
Is anyone else feeling like this? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | i know how you feel, I have to say i have gone off sex I didnt have a great sex drive but now its more or less 0. i have found though that on a weekend when we have nothing much planned that can get in the mood more. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I did see a change in my sex drive and my OH did understand at times .. but your OH seems really understanding, so long as you still talk to each other and tell him how u feel then im sure he will be fine maybe u cud be intimate in other ways for a while like naked cuddling in bed or something im sure the sex drive will go back to normal soon good luck hun xx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | My sex drive was very high before I got pregnant.. Then it went to zilch! Nothing, dry as toast! Now it's coming back on track.. Not all the time but it's still something. Your OH is being really good about it not mithering, lol. Mine wouldn't shut up! He kept saying "Your going of me aint you" - MEN! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | it's gone down i think, but i still wouldn't say no lol. i'm sure you will pick it up again because loads of women lose and regain their sex drive during different stages of pregnancy..towards the end it could be higher than it's ever been before! | | | | Status: Offline
