Low sex drive?

If you have a low sex drive, what can you do to improve it. Married almost 18 years.... Any suggestions. We have little time together, due to careers and kids. Help....

Update:

Really its both of us and not just one sided on this questions. We are in a rut and need to get out of it. Men have low sex drives too. Most men will not tell anyone this, buts it true.

Update 2:

And I am in my mid 30's and we married young. I had a full Hysterectomy two years ago so I am sure it is do to having no hormones. I take mine daily.

    Send the kids to their friends house so you could have the house to yourself. Both of you call in sick here are some tips that will work:

    1. Add erotic eats to your diet

    2. Stimulate each others genitals

    3. Make every angle count

    4. Talk dirty

    5. Try new positions

    6. Try using a vibrator having your breast touched at the same time for a better chance of an orgasm

    7. Don't try the same stuff all the time

    8. Have fun with it

    9. Use fragrant candles

    10. Have a sexy environment

    11. Tell each other where you want to be touched

    12. Act out possible fantasies

    13. Dress sexy

    14. Feel good about yourself to feel sexy

    I assume that he is wanting more sex than is happening, and you are wondering how to boost your sex drive so you can respond to his desires?!?!?

    "It's all in your head" might be a good place to start. Unless you have some sort of physical problem that is causing a hormone imbalance, then, especially for women, sex drive is a matter of attitude as much as anything.

    I have seen women, casually laying there in the nude on an exam table, tell the dr that she just hasn't gotten excited about sex in months (or years), suddenly get all nippley when he thumbs/strokes her clit or makes a pass at her.

    From where I stand, I see her suddenly seeing someone powerful and attractive "making a move" on her, and she is right back on her game.

    I have no clue what is happening in your life, and I'm not trying to imply that you'd open up for your dr to bang you. You might; 22% of women in the U.S. would.

    But the point I'm making is seeing your old man you're married to as some hot sex object might just make the difference. :-)

    yea, you'll have to use your imagination, I guess. But since most sexual experiences happen in the imagination, that's a wonderful first step.

    oh god, sounds like me in all of my relationships. i've never met a man who could keep up with my sex drive. in cases like this, the more pressure you put on him to have sex, the more likely it is that you won't get any. when you mix sex & obligation then it loses its luster. try spicing things up to keep him on the same page! work that sex drive girl! :) surprise him when he gets home from work - naked!! or buy something sexy to strut around in. size 6 or size 10 i'm sure you are still beautiful - just with some more curves!!! flaunt it chicky! a lot of the time i wouldn't want to pressure my guy to have sex, so i wouldn't even let him know i wanted it. then when nothing would happen i'd get frustrated... the problem there was i should have made the move!! find out what he likes and go for it! good luck girl! remember: you're fabulous!

    try having some alone time with just the two of you.

    Buy a little sexy nightie or teddy to wear for him.

    When the kids are gone try having sex in different parts of the house, the kitchen, bathroom, by a pool.

    Go away for a weekend just the two of you. and do something special for each other, the love will arise the sex drive.

    You know, I see commercials about erctile dysfunction on T.V, and the majority of the people are older. My personal belief is that they have been with the same person for so long. When you have been with someone for 18yrs regardless of age low sex drive is bound to happen. Rent a room somewhere just the two of you, and pre-tend you don't have any kids, be silly, have fun with each other, and don't talk about household issues.. See if that helps.

    If that puts you close to 40, or just over, it's a hormonal thing. Go talk to your gynecologist, and get your hormone levels tested.
