Is it normal that i feel uninterested in sex??

I've been dating my bf for 6months now, and we used to have sex quite regularly. Throughout this time I've been on new birth control and suddenly I have no interest in sex whatsoever anymore. My bf thinks its him constantly, but it's me. And idk what to do...

    Switch meds or don't have sex. I mean, if you don't have the urge what's the point?

    Birth control can do that. I have a lot friends (that loooved having sex) got on birth control & they don't have that urge anymore :/ It's the hormones in the pill. Try talking to your doctor.

    That's how birth control works. No sex no kids.

    Well, if you are not into drugs (every thing but weed and acid). You are so NOT normal. And if t goes the other way round, dude stop the dope and let sex take charge of the dope release and received by your dopamine receptors.

    All the best dude!

    My gf was semi similar on bc.. it really does a number chemically and hormonally. She switched to a non chemical iud and has been much happier, stable, and hornier ever since. That might be an option for you.. though bc is accepted by the masses doesn't make it right. The masses would also buy their own shoes off their feet put in front of the right pitch. She also started eating healthier with me and exercising mildly. Good luck with this

    Thnks. I haven't tired anything else. I need a birth control that won't make me crazy and lower my sex drive!

    It's probably just your contraception, have you tried using something different?

    I'm a human sexuality educator.

    It's very possible that ANY drug you put into your body can effect your sex drive. But it has on many warning labels of birth control that it can contribute to a lack in sex drive. If you really want to have sex with your boyfriend, (understanding that it's not simply to please him, but to better both of yourselves) what I would suggest doing is exploring your own body first before seeing him for a night. Masturbate and get yourself to a point of pleasure, but don't orgasm. Take a break, and then masturbate again. Get to the point of pleasure, and stop before having an orgasm. Then later on, if you see your boyfriend, you will be more likely to have a good sex drive going.

    You could also try some aphrodisiac foods before seeing your boyfriend, such as chocolate (especially dark chocolate), bananas, watermelon, salmon, red wine, anything vanilla flavored, oysters, etc.

    If this doesn't work, try talking to your doctor.
