I'm in my mid 20's, married with 2 dc. I love my DH so much, but find it really difficult to want to have sex. My sex drive has always been rather low, only time it was high was when I was heavily pregnant with DD and had spd (go figure). I have low self esteem, and if we do have sex its only in the same boring position. I can see DH is disappointed, but doesn't say anything. after we do have sex i always feel down.
I want to feel sexy, I want to have fun, exciting sex with my DH, I want to at least be normal in this respect. Theres no physical reason for all of this, its purely mentally that I seem to have this barrier.
My DH has a healthy average sex drive, but at the moment I feel like he is just grateful if i kiss him, never mind anything else. He's the same age as me and I feel like im condemning him to a celibate life. I don't want this for him, I don't want this for me.
How do I stop being so damn frigid and basically have a healthy sex life with my DH. It's the only problem we have, everything else is pretty damn perfect.
