Everyone’s libido is different and it’s normal to experience a loss of interest in sex at some point. However, if it’s affecting your relationship, it may be time to seek professional help.
A therapist may be able to identify any underlying mental health issues that could be contributing to your low libido. They can also offer advice on how to improve your sexual desire and rekindle that spark.
Seek professional help.
Everyone has times when their libido dips, but if yours drops below what’s normal for you and causes distress, it’s time to talk to your doctor. Whether your problem is psychological, physical or a combination of both, your doctor can help you find ways to improve your sex drive.
Your sex drive can be affected by many things, including stress, tiredness and unresolved relationship issues. If you think any of these are the cause of your low sex drive, try talking to your partner or trying some self-encouragement activities such as reading erotic books or watching porn. If you still can’t muster up a desire for sex, ask your doctor to perform a pelvic exam. If there are any physical problems that are causing it, your doctor may prescribe medications to treat them, such as SSRIs for depression or corticosteroids for high blood pressure.
If the problem is psychological, your doctor can also refer you to a psychotherapist or couples counselor to help you reconnect with your partner and address any unresolved conflicts that may be causing your loss of interest in sex. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, which can be used to address depression and anxiety, is one such treatment, in which your therapist helps you focus on positive thoughts and deal with negative ones. Your therapist may also suggest sex play or sexual foreplay techniques that can increase your enjoyment of sex.
Don’t take it out on your husband.
It is important to remember that it is not your husband’s fault that you have low sex drive. Libido is a natural and fluid part of the human experience and it can fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including diet, health issues, stress levels, medications and relationship dynamics. It’s also common for individuals, wives in particular, to feel frustrated and upset when they are unable to meet their sexual needs.
However, taking it out on your husband can only damage your relationship and make the problem worse. Attacking him with harsh words can hurt his feelings and he may respond by acting defensively or ignoring you. Instead, it’s best to communicate openly with your husband and try to find a solution that works for both of you.
One of the biggest reasons people get divorced is a lack of intimacy. If you’re able to discuss the problem openly with your husband and find a way to meet each other’s needs, then you can have a successful marriage. The only thing worse than a lack of sexual interest is cheating on your spouse, which can lead to even more issues in the long run. So, avoid taking it out on your husband by communicating with him and seeking professional help if necessary. Eventually, you’ll both find a way to meet each other’s sexual needs and restore the intimacy in your relationship.
Open up the lines of communication.
It’s common for couples to go through phases in which one or both of them don’t feel the same way about sex. This is not a sign that there’s anything wrong with the relationship, but it can make things harder.
In this situation, you should try to open up the lines of communication as much as possible. This will help both of you understand each other better and work on the issues that are making this uncomfortable. The best time to bring up these issues is when you’re not annoyed with each other or in a neutral setting, like at dinner or during a walk.
Another important step is finding out what’s causing this mismatch in your libidos. Things like fatigue, stress, children, routine, and some medications can all have a negative effect on sex drive. Once you know what’s causing your low libido, you can work with your partner to find solutions that will boost it.
If you’re still struggling to communicate, you can seek professional help from a sex therapist. They can teach you and your partner better communication techniques, which will lead to more productive conversations about sex. Then, you can start to get closer and work through your sexual difficulties as a team. The results will be worth the effort. You’ll go from feeling disconnected to having glorious, touch me again sex.
Give your wife more affection.
Often times a woman’s low libido isn’t anything to be alarmed about. Having sex less often than you used to may seem like a big deal, but it’s generally within the normal range for women at any age. If it’s something else, such as a medical condition or a medication you take, then talking to your doctor is probably a good idea.
Aside from those things, there are a lot of other factors that could cause your low sex drive, such as stress, relationship problems and even work. If you have a lot going on in your life and don’t have much time for each other, that can really take a toll on your sex drive. If you are both feeling the same way, then it might be worth talking to a therapist about what’s happening.
Men sometimes have a difficult time understanding that their wives don’t need or want to have sex as much as they do. They may feel frustrated, but they also need to know that it’s not their fault and that they can still be close to their wife despite that. They need to give her more affection, as that is her number one need in a relationship (just like it’s his). That is what will really help her have a better sex drive and will keep the couple happy overall.
