Need to know if there is anything I can take to DECREASE my libido

[Turrywolez]

Hi, I am a 28 year old female and have a 3 year old son. I have a MUCH higher libido than that of my partner. gentle encouragement, blatant requests for sex and everything in between do not work and I am getting very sexually frustrated. we do have sex just not very often... maybe twice a month. We otherwise have a good relationship and I do not want the lack of sex to destroy it and I fear that it will.

I think That little amount of sex would bother some women very much (only twice a month, You poor girl:/)... Are you on any type of hormonal BC, pill, patch,other?..When i was on BC pills, I didn't realize what little sex drive I had until I went off Trying to concieve..Before I was happy with sex maybe once a week, now that I'm off the pill, I NEED it every few days!LOL. I tend to think my low sex drive was because of the hormones in the pill i was taking, because now that I'm no longer taking them, I'm up for it all the time! I don't think this is true for all women, but it was the case for me...Maybe the problem isn't your increased libido, but the lack of your partner..Could it be that your partner is not interested because he(or she, you never mentioned sex of partner) could be getting 'it' else where? Just a thought..There could be legitamate hormonal/emotional/physical reasons for your partners lack of sexual interest, maybe you should look into these instead of thinking you yourself are the problem..Best of luck..

I agree with the above. you should look at your partner. You need to have a mutual relationship were you can talk to each other for that. About the pill- I was on it for about 12yrs, and had an extremely low libido. now that I am off of it, I feel much better. If you cant talk with your partner, maybe you could try the pill.
