simple question really guys i wanted to ask while im searching for my own ansers. Recently (due to the stress of uni) my sex drive has gone. I mean, completely. My partners sex drive has always been higher than mine, but recently when we start doing things that could lead to sex i just think "god, i really cant be arsed, Boring!" I hate feeling this way, and would like to get my sex drive back!
Any ideas???
Also, do aphrodisiacs work? And if so, which ones work best? Any herbal remedies i can take?
Cheers

i thought it would come back after a bit, but so far, nadda.
thanx for your reply. we do spend alot of time together, but only outside his bedroom at the weekends. i always go round+we chill out, watch tv, play the playstation, whatever. he's got quite a stressful job+with my uni stuff, we both just like chilling out though. Then we normally do something on a sunday (our only full day together) outside the house.
We have also decided that we're going to go for a meal togther once a month. i cant afford much more than that, but it would be nice if we could do it twice a month.
I know i need to relax, ive just made a thread about it in health.
Otter, i think we do need to spice things up abit, but we're not sure how.
exactly how i feel! i feel horrible for it, but sometimes, especially after 20mins of solid sex, my mind wanders
totally, petal. remember lying back at one point and thinking - 'this floor could do with hoovering'...and 'oooooh look at the cobwebs up there' lol. shouldn't joke, cos it's not funny really - i guess we can't force these things, if we don't feel like it now, we don't - stress and whatever can do loads of weird stuff to our bodies, so all we can do is just hope our OHs can be patient (they can always shake hands madam palm and her five lovely daughters for a bit longer if need be...):D
my boyfs the same too - v patient -he sometimes loses his cos he's on a v high dose of prozac and can't always 'get there' if you get me.
hope you feel ok again soon, flower. am sure you'll be grand

Try and masturbate more often - even when you don't feel you want to - to kick start your libido.
Looking back on the times it's dipped, I realised how when I was a stress-head (due to uni, relationship worries ect...) when it came to the moment of sex, my mind was elsewhere. I was worrying, wasn't relaxed and course there's someone there trying to stir some sexual feeling in you and you can't quite let go of the things that are getting to you. Maybe you could slow it down. Run a bath, find a way of quietly relaxing together, talking and getting to know each other, not like plonked infront of the tele watching a soap or anything like that. Maybe you could have more long drawn out foreplay WITHOUT having sex - and knowing that the foreplay isn't going to lead to sex takes your mind off of it and into learning how to relax again.
I found also that the more my bf mentioned sex, the more it irritated me and made me reluctant. I just wanted the natural progression.
I'm not sure what else to suggest I'm afraid, I will return with anything that comes to mind...!
Meantime, back in the real world... some time away from your boyfriend and from university might be what's needed. That way, after being away from him for a while, you suddenly feel "damn, I need a shag". So, when you see him again, suddenly, that horniness returns.
I've got an idea ... :flirt:
Said people aren't HERE, but meh ;(.
