(female, in a relationship)?
I’ve never had this problem before but for the last 1 or 2 months it’s just been disappearing and I haven’t had an orgasm for about a month or so! I love my boyfriend, but at the moment we don’t have the most exciting relationship, he is always busy etc and we didn’t even celebrate our anniversary in the end. I would never cheat on him but a new friend recently told me they really like me, and I find them very attractive but I would never go there even if i were single as they’re also very arrogant. I’m sure this hasn’t affected how I feel about my boyfriend but he is worried it has.
Also we were going away for our next birthday together but for money and family reasons he no longer wants to go, I know it’s just a little thing but it really upset me as I was really looking forward to it and I feel bad for being so annoyed/upset over it.
If it has come down to loving and feeling really comfortable with my boyfriend, but little else, would it be wrong to leave him? we are only 20 and if it doesn’t change, which it probably won’t as we are both studying for a few more years, it doesn’t seem like enough, but is that shallow? Is it probably just because of my relationship that I’m suddenly lacking in sex drive so much, or is it more probably something else?
Thanks!

Answer by Kay Bee
I dont’ have any desire for it if I don’t like how it is done.

There are also times when I am just tired and exhausted.

Then there are times when I am annoyed at him or something else in my life.

Also, it can get monotonous if you go at it every week or everyday like it is food.

When I spend time with my boyfriend, he seems to want sex constantly. He’s all over me before we fall asleep and when we wake up in the mornings, which isn’t unusual but if we’re alone during the day he’ll ask for sex around 4-5 times a day. This seems quite high to me and he quite often leaves me feeling sore and bruised. When I don’t feel up to it, he often pressures me into sex or masturbates. Does anyone have any advice on reducing his libido to make it more comfortable for me to be around him?

My husband is 40 years old and although we have regular sex it’s not as frequent as I’d like it to be. We both work out alot so I’m wondering if there is any kind of supplements that someone can recommend to me that will help increase his libido. Natural supplements no viagra suggestions please.

Best answer:

Answer by Jess W.
There is a drink called “Niagra.” I’ve only seen it in stores once in my life, but supposedly it tastes great and increases your libido. It doesn’t have an effect on you like Viagra does, it just makes you horny. I’ve personally never tried it though. I’m sure you could look it up on google or something though. Good luck!

Considering how women often complain about being hit on by men and the way men always want sex, my questions are: Would women prefer it if men in general were much less horny? What might be some down sides for women if men were less horny? Are there any women out there that actually like the way men are so horny?

Answer by Nateface

Are there any foods to eat or avoid or herbal remedies or certain types of exercise or anything you can think of that can reduce a lady’s sex drive? Or is it just learning to control your own mind? I know that sex is healthy but I always always always end up getting hurt (and I’m pretty picky with who I sleep with!) I turn into a horrendous flirt when I’m drunk and usually embarrass myself. I’ve become scared of having sex with anybody new but my sex drive is raging! It’s probably normal for my age but I wish I could clear my head of boys and fantasy and just get on with my own life. Drives me insane….
By the way, I masturbate several times a day!

Best answer:

Answer by Sláinte xxxx
Just masturbate to relieve the tension & it will help you & safer to relieve yourself & very healthy as keeps you young & smiling & gets rid of tension. It is best to get to know someone first before getting involved as they could be a psycho & if you are already involved sexually hard to walk away ……exercise gets rid of tension… hormones go through the roof as get older & sex drive increases, tell me about it ……….makes me laugh when people say men have stronger sex urges as lots of women are the same

I’ve asked about this kind of thing before but I can’t fix this and I feel abnormal.

I’m a 15 year old girl and I have absolutely no sex drive at all. I’m not on any medications (well, I have topical junk from the dermatologist but does that count? Anyway, I’m not on BC, I’ve never had an orgasm before, and masturbation does nothing for me. I can’t get horny at all. Just to throw it in there, I’ve officially recognized myself as bisexual. I know, weird considering I don’t get horny from looking at people, but whatever.

I have a boyfriend of a year and 7mos now, and I love him. I’ll admit though, I’m not really physically attracted to him (but then again, I don’t get horny/physicall attracted to people a lot so it’s really not an issue) Sometimes we have spats, but nothing to be really stressed over. We’ve had sex, but I didn’t get anything out of it so we stopped doing that.

Continues~
I used to let him try to get me off, but lately I’ve been stopping him from touching me because I always feel like complete crap/gross afterwards. It’s gotten to a point where I feel gross just kissing him. What?

What can this be? I’m just so used to sexual things that nothing phases me at all? I’m hormonally imbalanced and have to wait until I can go see a gyno on my own? I’m actually fullout lesbian? (Which is false, so…)

What’s wrong with me? And what can I do? All my girlfriends my age are horny all the time, I feel like I’m broken.
Also, It’s not because I feel guilty or anything. I’m not religious, I dont have any reason to feel guilty, I’m open about sexual stuff. So please don’t suggest that.
Sorry to be confusing;
I am attracted to both genders, just in VERY rare cases for both and it happens very little.

ALSO To the doll girl, so do I XD;; Well, collect, but still. :P

Best answer:

Answer by VB.NET Guru
Go see your gynecologist or family physician. You probably have a chemical inbalance in your system. It is time to find out what is going on with your body.

At your age, you should have raging hormones, and be horny a lot, and enjoy sex and/or masturbation.

Good luck.

Both men and women have testosterone in the body, but men usually have a larger concentration of this hormone. I heard that there were cases where women had the same amount of testosterone as the average male? Is this true? How frequent is this? If so, would the women have a similar sex drive? Would this cause more problems for the women…such as hair growth and increase in agressiveness etc….?

Best answer:

Answer by cookie8474
