Decreased Sexual Appetite

[girlybuff]

Hi all.  As I've posted before, I had a baby in Spet, 6 months ago.  Since then I have absolutely NO sexual appetite.  I love my husband very very much but I don't care if I ever have sex again.
I'm wondering if it's due to my pill addiction... or just postpartum??
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!!
I hope everyone is having a tolerable day if not good.
Blessings....

I can't speak for a women, but as a man a heavy pill addiction strikes to fold.
one is decreases sexual drive tremedously
two even if you want to your equipment is softer
than posh puffs............

Thanks!
I don't mean to laugh but that was funny.......
I have noticed that when my husband steals one of my stash he is no use to me....
I think this is just another thing for me to obsess about!

I don't mean to laugh but posh puff??? That is funny---and to you Girly I can say that for the most part while I was on the pills I couldn't have cared less to have sex either, but I could do it if I had to I just didn't care if I did---- By the time I was taking 30/day for 5 years I was so damn tired and aggitated all day I probably would have fought someone who tried to get it on with me... Thank God that is over :-)

THANK YOU!  That's exactly me.  I will if I HAVE to but would rather not......
Again, always a re-assurance that I'm not the only one.
I think I'm a lot more unique than I actually am.
(at least that's what my sponsor tells me)
HA!

I thought the Posh Puffs comment was as tasteful as anything I'm sure my message was understood....lol

[girlybuff]

Um, what are posh puffs anyway??

Congratulations...was it a boy or a girl?  What name did you give your baby?  How big is he/she now?  

In answer to your question, as the father of six...including twins...I saw what happened to my wife's body during pregnancy.  Given the pregnancies and labors, it was a wonder she ever wanted to have sex again.  Plus, she was getting up at night to nurse and running on a empty tank during the day.

The pills will also inhibit you.  First, they are usually taken before bedtime to overcome pain so a person can sleep. There is little time for sex.  And, once the opiates build up in your system, there can be a lethargy or indifference to sex.

So, I suspect you are experiencing the impact of both pills and post-partum indifference.  

The good news is that the post-partum will go away; and, you will get off the pills.  We in this Forum will be here for you, with advice, reassurance, and example.

Girl I totally get the whole "I feel special attitude" But it is the opiates I know it because I stopped about 2 months ago and the drive didn't come back right away but slowly you kind of feel human again and really want another human to touch you... It's weird believe me but just to put it bluntly who ever thought you could actually feel "horny" again??? LOL I guess stranger things have happened----- And for you Michael (aka beachtowel) yes your right we got the point.... But it was funny because this box of puffs sitting next to me is soft and comforting but all the sudden after your response they feel even softer?? LOL

[beachtowel]

Posh Puffs are the "softest tissues" made in the world...

[girlybuff]

I guess I have to get some then, the tissues not the other thing!
LOL
Glad we can still laugh!!

[beachtowel]

I am so glad that I can make you appreciate the "softness" of Puffs...lol

[Skyfoxglitter]

Yeah as long as it is only the puffs that are "soft"  God I love it here you are the greatest please don't stop making me laugh!!!

[questions4u]

I would say its probably a little of both, I had a very healhty sex life and even after my son was born I was pretty (here comes the TMI) horny, but after I started taking the pills its not that I did'nt want sex, but I couldn't get aroused for it...no matter what, and I couldn't have an O either.... I'm hoping after these next few days 9I just quit) I can get back to having some good sex and just just the "ok if we have to" kind! Most pain pills do carry the side effcet of decresed sexual urge.

[beachtowel]

I am glad I could provide some entertainment to the site, even though I was responding to a serious question.
I love to laugh and have been told that I have a warped since of humor, I guess that is better than none at all.

Tink I am very glad you feel better, sleep and rest to the body which it has to have to operate properly.

By the way to all I was speaking past tense.....lol
