Is it normal to have a low sex drive at 22?

I just got married a year ago.I have two beautiful children. After I had my daughter, who is 18 months, I have lost my sex drive. My doctor thinks I am crazy, what options are there?

    Have your hormones checked. It's not normal at 22, so it needs to be checked out

    Chances are you had your children very close, possibly had a hard pregnancy/delivery?

    You're not crazy just because of a low sex drive. Somethings up. See an OB/GYN

    If your doc is one, get a 2nd opinion from a doc or NP who will listen. You may be

    depressed & not even know it. Post partum depression can go on undiagnosed for

    a long time! There are several conditions that can cause this. Is there any pain

    associated with sex, you having any marital/financial issues, etc?

    It's normal. Remember, an individual doctor doesn't know everything. Only a bad one would assume they do. Some women have low estrogen levels after pregnancy, but they tend to gradually return to normal levels. However, some women do have permanent changes in their hormone levels after pregnancy.

    But you can still enjoy your life with a low sex drive. I'm a 22 year old guy and I'm perfectly happy spending the night with a woman maybe 3-4 times a year. With less time dating, I have more time to pursue my career.

    The question is, do you miss your sex drive? If so, maybe you could see an endocrinologist about your hormone levels. If not, then there are plenty of ways you can still enjoy your life.

    Some women never get their sex drive back after having children. I never got mine back and it's been years. My doctor said some girl's hormones change permanently after children.

    A bit strange for your age. If you want to have a higher sex drive, eat more fresh oysters.

    In Asia, the men takes Guinness stout and add one raw chicken egg. They said it cause them to be virile. You can try it!
