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.
