That's it really!
Am I alone and not normal? Woman I know make love at least four times a week with there DP or DH, I on the other hand can go for a few months and still not bother? I'm 28 is this normal??

I'm the same age as you and I am the same, I can go well over a month sometimes 2 months without sex- I never really think of it.
When we first got together we did it all the time but 2 years later not so much

Weshouldopenabar: I think self love is great Blush
But even that urge only comes once every blue moon for me? I'd rather cuddle up with a DVD and a duvet..
I wish I did have a high sex drive, and I'm glad I started this too as it just goes to show I'm not the only one that feels this way..
I feel that the more I feel pressured into it the more I push away from it?? It's like a duty I've to do not a natural thing..
Then I find when there is no expectations it happens naturally and were both extremely satisfied?
We will have sex roughly twice a month Blush and I think that's probably more than enough for me, but I get worried it's not for him,, he has been very patient with me I'm very lucky as some men may go find it elsewhere..
But what wired's me out is when I drink I flirt with my hubby and tease him? And it me who anticipates it.. And The only time..

When I had PND, the first meds I took prevented me from orgasm. I went back to the GP and sheepishly asked if there was anything I could do...She took it very seriously and changed my medication until we found one which didn't cause that side effect. Do you orgasm with him since you started taking anti-anxiety stuff? If not, that's fixable.

I used to love sex but some time into my relationship with my partner it went very pear-shaped. When I think back Im sure it was to do with a pill I was on at the time - it seemed to leave me very dry down there and I developed vaginismus and sex became a chore that I dreaded :(
We barely did it once a month but somehow managed to conceive a child at the end of 2010, now our daughter is 6 months old and I am still frightened of sex; this time because I am scared that I am fragile and might tear after my episiotomy, so its purely psychological still.
Id be over the moon to be able to do it 2-3 times a week without dreading it or being anxious... dp would be ecstatic :)

....realised that Ive sort of drifted from the question...

I would say that the longer you dont indulge, the less you care for it - and that medication/contraception is often to blame for this.
