Perimenopause Help

Question by Lisa B: Can you suggest ways to increase sex drive for a married 31-year-old woman with 2 children?
I’m 31, very happily married. I have 2 young children (3 yrs and 20 mos). My life is not very stressful. I’m relatively well rested for the most part. I love my husband and am attracted to him. For the last 3 years I have had zero sex drive. At first I chalked it up to being pregnant, tired, nursing, pregnant again, tired, nursing again, etc. I weaned my son 7 mos ago. I’m not pregnant. I still have zero sex drive. I’m not nervous about getting pregnant so that’s not the problem. My husband is very sexual and has a very high sex drive. He makes me feel very loved and very wanted. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to increase my sex drive. Thanks.
I am currently on the pill, but I had this problem before going on the pill as well.

you say you are not nervous about getting pregnant
are you on birth control?
birth control can really take away your sex drive….

Question by bigbadwolf: Question about the female sex drive. I care greatly for the woman I’m dating. She’s really great…?
…sweet, perfect, fun, and we have a lot in common about what we want out of life, what’s important, ect…
Here is the problem. About 4 years ago her mother was killed in an automobile accident, in the understandable mental confusion created by that she wasn’t regular with her birth control, ended up getting preg. by her then husband who ended up divorcing her and leaving when she was 7 months pregnant. She’s distant with her sisters, and not extremely close with her father (a little anger there because she was given everything in the will and despite her best efforts to share her whole family are “takers” and always standing there with their hands out saying “give me, give me, give me”. All this happened in the brief period of 7 or 8 months, about 3 years ago.
Now to my question. I have strong feelings for her but her sex drive is not nearly what mine is. I believe sex is a big thing in a relationship. Maybe, if you think about it, one of the most important because I doubt any couple that is currently married would have gotten married if one of the two had told the other that they would marry them but would never have sex with her. So, I believe sex is important, it’s just the amount of it that may vary a little from couple to couple.
So, basically I’m wondering how much of her low sex drive is a result of the above, and how much of it is the fact that she’s 37, already has a child, and maybe the sex drive is on it’s way out because of that.
Help, I don’t want to lose her, but we’ve started to argue, and have big discussions about it.
Also, she blames some of lack of desire on her belief that sex outside of marriage is wrong, but I tend to think that percieved morals are easier to uphold when the desire is not what it should be.
Need Advice, please.
Also, please skip this question if you plan on answering with the all encompassing statement of “if you love her you will understand”, because that works both ways.

Sorry, it doesn’t work both ways. You clearly don’t respect or care about this woman, especially since you seem to think her values are just a cover up to keep you from getting the amount of poon you think you deserve.

Question by mochaloca07: What would suddenly cause low sex drive in a woman?
About a week ago, I lost all interest in sex, and I have NO clue why. I know that as a woman gets closer to menopause, it drops considerably. However, I’m 24, have always had a healthy libido, and am nowhere close to being menopausal. What could cause this, and how can I get my normal sex drive back?

Question by Mithrandir_black: What is the youngest age a woman can go through menopause?
I’m only 25 but I’ve been having symptoms of menopause, is this even possible? I’ve had problems with my period ever since I got it, so I wouldn’t be surpised! Thanks.
I won’t be able to go to a doctor for about 2 weeks, we’re in the middle of moving and pretty much all of our time is used up packing and working. I’m kinda embarrassed to even ask a Doc about it. It seems kinda ridiculous.
I’ll give you some history real quick.
I’ve always missed periods, from 6 weeks in between to 4 months (been since Sept this time). Bad cramps all the time. Went on the pill for about 7 years on and off to control it. Didn’t have insurance for the last 2 years and went off it. In the last year, had major issues, longer gaps and longer lasting (3 weeks one time), had hair grow on my face and breasts (never did before) and had a higher temp then normal.
I guess it is pretty dumb that I’m embarassed to ask my doc, I had a bad experinace when I asked one about something I thought I had. I was mocked and laughed at. I stopped going to see him.

Yes, it’s possible although it’s not very likely. It could be something else. What you do need to do is speak with your doctor or gynocologist about the symptoms that you are experiencing.
