Is something wrong with me?

Question

I am not horny anymore after stopping birth control...when I was on birth control I was horny all the time...I feel like something is wrong with me...

Answer

Was the opposite for me. Birth control brought my Sex drive way down.

Answer

How long have you been off of it? It could just be your body adjusting to the change. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it's been over a month. Maybe call your dr and ask?

Answer

Wow, three years...Honestly, though, there could be a lot of factors affecting your drive. Stress, depression, a lack of a relationship/romantic partner, etc. At the start of my relationship with my Mister we were going at it like rabbits. Now, half the time we have sex, I don't "get into the mood" until we are about a third of the way into it. The reason: my job. At the beginning of our relationship, I was in a low stress job. Now, I'm in a career that is tied with neurosurgeons as the second most stressful job in the U.S.!

If you are concerned,I would encourage you to go see a doctor about it. Otherwise, try to relax and let you be you for a little while. Or....try to romance yourself. Maybe try enticing yourself with a new toy and a solo-love date night? Scented candles, ambiance lighting, music, and a mental story can go a long way. Try building it up for yourself. Wear pretty lingerie that makes you feel sexy (or if you have the money, buy a new set on Amazon so you can look forward to it's arrival), and make plans with yourself. If you have a partner, try this with him or her.

If it's just stress, psyching yourself up in a pre-game/costume to anticipate it, or having your partner pamper you with half an hour's worth of foreplay, can help crack the shell. Don't give up!!! Good luck, hon!
