    this unfortunately happens often in marriages. this is part of the reason why i dont want a kid.

    Me as my ex wife had a child and four years later she still never wanted to have sex so we broke up. It's no way to love and live. Female viagra woulda saved us.

    Girl, I am the same freaking way. I had my son in June 2007 and before that, even during my pregnancy, we were going at it about 4 or 5 times a week, sometimes more than twice a day. We would stay up until the wee morning hours. After I had my son, it was like ZILTCH. Nothing. No libido. We went from 4 to 5 times a week to once every two weeks if that! It's been getting better lately, but I'm still not back to my old self. Come to find out, it's my birth control (progesterone based) that has my libido all out of whack. I read in Cosmo that progesterone basically depletes the libido. But because I don't want anymore kids in the near future, I can't stop taking my birth control! But I guess that's what it's for...if it depletes my sex drive, no sex = no baby! LOL. I try aphrodisiacs...maybe try watching porn together or stimulating yourself in order to get in the 'mood' before he comes into the room? Sometimes it takes time for me to get turned on so instead of saying NO immediately, I give him about 10 minutes to try and get me in the mood. Usually works, that's why we've been having sex more lately. Just a few suggestions. I love sex and I wish my sex drive would get back on track, but it's just not happening that way.

    Is soo normal! It can b a good idea to start taking prenatal vitamins again. Sometimes a nutritional imbalance can make this worse. It's ur bodys way of protecting your child. If u don't want sex, then there is no chance of you getting pregnant again which allows your baby to have the nurishment s/he needs from you, is strictly physiological. Talk to your ob if it doesn't improve after 6 months or so and sometimes they can suggest something. Either that or have a couple drinks, it's what worked for me!

    So I have a nine month old and we have to work on our relationship until recently. It took me untill about seven months to get my Lobito back. There are still times where I wouldn't be in the mood untill I had a drink. I would say wait it out a bit longer. Also making sure that you are exercising is a natural way to boost Lobito.

    You just made me LOL @ "crawl on me and pound away" and the making noise part. I can literally imagine. My nipples and vagina are both 0 touch zones so he can barely even GET it wet the times that I do give it up. Imagine the sandpaper twat during penetration. It almost feels like it's going to rip! And if that dont beat all, it's so very awkward to lay there lost in your thoughts of "oh my God I just want this over but I don't want to hurt his feelings". I've even silently cried and hid the tears because I hate the feeling of not liking/wanting sex. I swear I just want to know what happened or more importantly, when it will go back to normal. :0/

    Choosie omg I'm so happy in not the only one expirencing this. I'm to the point were I can't even force my self to give him some. My body does not react. I don't get wet at all. I'm dry as a desert. I do feel bad but um at a point were I just can't allow him to crawl on me and pound away. Then he wants me to make noise... Ummmm NO. I'm like u if I never had it again then IDE be awsome ..

    I have heard of that and could be hormonal. I'm having the opposite problem I have the high sex drive after our baby and my boyfriend doesn't. Super frustrating on both sides.

    Honey it must be normal because I'm experiencing the very same thing. My daughter was born in December. During pregnancy the thought of sex or even my privates being touched made me cringe. She's 4 months old and sex is still blah for me. I do it sometimes because I have an awesome man who's a great father so I feel badly if I go too long without giving him "some". But if we didn't have sex at all I'd be just as happy. I think it's broken lol. No but seriously, I wish I could fix it. I would love to want/enjoy sex again!!

    Well I would suggest letting the baby stay with grandma for one night and set the tone wherever and however that might be...some non baby interruption and adult time may be required...if u still have the problem-talk to ur doctor...

    Is there something you fear night happen or are you just not in the mood? Are you stressed? Maybe you guys just need some time to relax. Atempt something romantic. Put the baby to sleep early so there's no interuptions and tell him to surprise you. You might just need a push or something. Make sure there's tons of foreplay too. It must be hard for him to deal with not being able to have sex but it's good that you care enough to try and fix whatever might be wrong.
