my husbands sex drive??
my husband and i have been together for 4 1/2 years now, and married since this past january. he is 32 i am 26. we used to have sex all the time, 5-7 nights a week. 2 years ago something changed, and his sex drive went way down hill. if i am lucky maybe 2 times a month now. i can start everything, and he is just not interested anymore. and i sometimes feel that we it does happen, that he is doing it only to make me happy.
i know that he is not cheating, and we love eachother very much, what do you think could have happened? he says that its not me, but its very hard not to take this personal.

I feel your pain and would agree that he should go see a doctor. However, I have been married for 18 years and for almost all of it, my husband's sex drive has been quite low. Three years ago he went to the doctor, got checked out and was put on viagra but nothing has really changed. People say spice it up---been there, done that. It is a very difficult situation. After I had my son 8 years ago, I almost stopped caring about how I looked because I figured who cares? It is only now that I feel motivated to lose the last 10 pounds I had gained from my pregnancy 8 years ago. And the reason? This is terrible I know, but it was the attention of another man. Nothing has happened between me and this other man but I do think about it...
Sex is a very important part of a relationship. I think you need to talk to your husband about how you feel and encourage him to be completely honest.
I thought I could handle the deprivation and not take it personally (my husband has always insisted it wasn't me and when we do have sex, he seems to thoroughly enjoy it) and I did for a long time, but now I am finding it very difficult. I'm sorry I can't give you a solution to your problem but when I read your question I felt compelled to share my experience. You are not alone.

My husband and I have had the same problem. For a long time it really started to affect our relationship. I knew he wasn't cheating but I thought that it was me. It caused many arguments because I just knew that he no longer wanted me or for some reason it was linked to me, but he kept saying it wasn't and he did not understand what was going on. I made a dr's appointment for him and what we found out was his cholesterol was very high, which can bring down your sex drive greatly, he also was diabetic and has high blood pressure. Once he was on medication and got everything straight his sex drive returned to normal. Make an appointment for him to get checked. Im sure it is something that can be easily taken care of. Don't get to alarmed and don't let it effect your self esteem.
Good luck and best wishes!

He could try viagra but I will tell ya what, that stuff sucks. The side effects are terrible. Has he ever tried a sexual enhancer? I was in his situation, like I said, viagra was tried but it wasn't for me considering the side effects overwhelm the pleasures of it. I found this natural herbal enhancer and figured what the heck, if it's natural it must be great and plus it said no side effects. I tried it and after about two days of taking it I was just horny like a mad man. All the time, I have erections that want to stand straight up and the orgasms are to die for. The stuff was called vigrx plus and I saved on it at the time at hughs-reviews.com You should tell him to check it out. I love the fact it's made from a researched blend of herbs that seem to do the trick for me atleast.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

He should see a doctor, sometimes its a medical thing that is linked to a lower sex drive. It could be something little or more serious. If you are positive he isnt cheating or keeping something from you then thats really the only excuse.

Believe him - he is right to say that it's not you. Otherwise, you just need to evaluate your schedule - is he working more, more stress, are you two as close as you used to be, do you find time to talk, do things together, etc. Do you have intimate time, not just lovemaking time?
Is he depressed? Is he drinking or drugging?
All in all, his testosterone could be low, have him get to the doctor to get things checked out.

shame it is a very touchy thing to discuss and even though he says its not you, you Still going to think its you!! has he started any medication cause i know out of personal experience that medication messes things up!! otherwise talk bout it-the sooner you resolve it the better cos things wil just get bad if you leave it!!!
