Why do I have NO sex drive?

17 replies

oserja · 26/12/2018 21:17

My sex drive dropped to 0 2-3 months ago. It's causing problems in my relationship now.
Does anyone know what could cause this and what steps would be taken if I went to the GP?

@ISdads no other symptoms that I'd relate to this. I'm almost 19 too so young!

Are you taking any medication?

@chillimartini no medication!

Are you on any form of contraceptive? Hormonal contraception can increases/reduce your sex drive.

oserja · 26/12/2018 21:28

@Fatted not anymore. I was previously on the mini pill but came off it due to bleeding and eczema. My libido dropped 2-3 weeks after coming off that.

Maybe it's psychological or maybe you're busy with more interesting things in life.

ISdads · 26/12/2018 21:32

Maybe psychological fear of pregnancy?

SierraSmythe · 26/12/2018 21:34

Do you still fancy your DP? When I was that age mine disappeared but after splitting up from my DP at the time, I realised I just wasn't attracted to him anymore despite him being very good-looking.

oserja · 26/12/2018 21:36

@ISdads already have a DS and using was using other contraception so I don't think it's a fear of that.

@SierraSmythe yes, I definitely do still fancy him, something he's asked me a good few times! It's definitely more of a me problem. I'm not interested in anything to do with sex at all now, and it's just really weird for both of us as it went from a very healthy amount and a big interest to 0 in a few days and my libido just hasn't rose again in months! Confused

So you're 18 and have one child? Any changes related to your child or previous pregnancy eg stopped bf, sleep deprived?

Is your partner hassling you a lot about this already? How is the relationship generally?

SierraSmythe · 26/12/2018 21:40

Hmm, that sounds very sudden. It might be worth a visit to the doctor seeing as the change has been so dramatic.

oserja · 26/12/2018 21:41

@ISdads no related changes there!

@SierraSmythe yes, I think it's going to have to be. I've been putting off a GP visit as I feel like it's such a menial problem in comparison to what other people go for and I didn't want to look silly!

oserja · 26/12/2018 21:44

@ISdads the relationship is generally very good. He's been overall good about this issue too, although sometimes is a bit more frustrated, bad tempered because of lack of intimacy, but has been supportive and helped me try and figure out the cause.

Yeah, go to GP. Maybe hormonal if you just stopped the mini pill. I was wondering if you could be iron/b vit deficient but it seems such a sudden change.
