Sex drive gone gone gone

Name change just in case..

Since having my second son just over 6 months ago, my sex drive for my husband has completely disappeared. I also have a 2 1/2 year old and life is hectic so I could put it down to tiredness but I am worried it is more.

I just don't seem to like my DH touching or kissing me anymore. When he cuddles up to me on the sofa in the evening I just want to push him away, or when he kisses me I want it to stop. I'm not sure if it's because I am worried if I let the cuddling/kissing go to far he will try to have sex and I don't want it, or if I just don't like to be touched anymore. We have had sex twice since DS2 was born but it just feels different for me now, my vagina just isn't the same. It isn't painful, just different?

My sex drive isn't completely gone as I have touched myself the odd time during the day when the boys are asleep...but full blown sex is just such a turn off.

Am I alone in feeling this? Has anyone else felt like this and then the sexual feelings came back?

Sorry to hear you're having a crap time. Didn't want to read and run.
Its been a long time since I had mine.
Have you discussed this with your husband? Is he helping you at all at home? 💐

Are you BF? I think this is very common if you are and even if not, loads of women with young children feel this way, it's totally normal

It's called being all touched out!

Your young kids are all over you and need you practically every minute of the day.

It's really common. The first few years of a child are a tough time for a couple. You have to be committed and understanding of one another and how things have changed.

Very common. I recall feeling this way too. It does eventually come back... and you are obviously enjoying pleasurable moments on your own during the day which will help destress.

Once you get past the first year and have one at nursery it will get much easier.
