Already low libido disappeared completely

4 replies

My libido - which has never been high, tbh - has fallen off a cliff. I think if I never had sex again I don’t feel like I’d mind very much. It just seems like such a bloody chore. DH is great and actually (unlike at some points in our marriage especially when we had two small kids) I am quite fond of him. I’m happy to have cuddles but I just have no interest in sex at all - with him, myself or anyone else.

I’m 45 and started Evorel 50 patches in December. I have a mirena coil which has been in for about 5 years so is probably due to be replaced soon. I seem to remember feeling a bit like this when I was on the pill in my 20s/30s.

Any advice?

Yeah. I was reading that testosterone is the answer IF it's actually problem to you!?

Well it’s a problem in that my poor DH is sad about it, which makes me sad, but at the moment I can’t bring myself to do anything about it. Whereas before I had a low libido but I knew I would enjoy it when we got going IYSWIM. I used to quite enjoy a quick afternoon bunk up if we were both working from home 😳
