my wife and i have been together for 9 years,married couple months ago,and are in our mid 20's. one thing i am keen to know is my wife has always had a low sex drive and what i mean by that is no real desire,when we actually get round to doing it shes fine and will orgasm etc,any ideas why? shes not the most adventures person,although she has gotten better over time,i love her to pieces but dont like bringin it up to often with her. she has been on the pill and ive heard that can effect drive?

cheers

Hi there, thanks for the question! And welcome to the forum. Low sex drive is a complex issue and not one that I can give you a definitive answer for. Contributing factors can be emotional (poor body image, intimacy issues), physical (fatigue, discomfort during sex), chemical (hormone imbalances, libido-reducing medicines) - really quite endless! My best suggestion is for you to talk to your wife about it. If you reassure her that it is no big deal, and you're inquiring simply out of concern, then she might feel okay opening up about it and you can help each other to work through it!

thanks sarah,yea i agree could be a number of things,i think it could be chemical-she does actually not produce enough ceretonan (sorry dont know how to spell it lol) which i think may effect drive?? we will get there tho!

Hey, 9 years is a long time so big ups on that achievement. I am interested in knowing when you two became sexually active - whether you both started in your teens or waited for marriage. I'm just curious when you say that she's "always had a low sex drive"
