Don't want sex 15 months after baby!

I don't want sex with my husband and haven't ever since I gave birth to my first son. He is now 15 months old! I have no sex drive whatsoever. I didn't during pregnancy either. I do breastfeed (non negotiable, won't be giving that up!) so wondered if it was hormones.
It's not an issue just with my husband - I don't want sex with anyone. We have a good relationship and would call each other best friends. I do love him but would say I don't find him madly good looking, I was always attracted to his sense of humour, adventurous nature and general personality. He is great. Looks has never been a problem but sometimes I do find myself wishing (rather shallow!) that his looks blew me away.
We have had sex probably maximum once a month since baby arrived. I have probably genuinely enjoyed it two or three times and the other times just got on with it. I recently stopped him halfway through and just had to be honest that I didn't want to do it! I can't pretend.
Any help?! Has anyone not wanted sex for so long after childbirth?!

How are you feeling in yourself? Is baby sleeping or are you still getting up in the night? If you are, have you thought about some gentle night weaning? It may help you generally, not just with the lack of sleep Smile
