something like that would work, my husband don't like pills and he don't like the feeling he gets from them so won't take them but yours might not mind. Maybe you can try and surprise him with some outfits or something like that. You know what he likes, and it helps to talk to him about your needs (don't mention the big O) it will lower it even more.......

I wouldn't say my DH has a low sex drive...I think I just have a very high one.

I have read that progesterone cream in very small doses on men is like a natural viagra. I was using progesterone cream a couple of years ago, and I would put it on my skin before bed, and I noticed during those few months we were dtd almost every single day, and it was my DH initiating all the time. I think the small amount that transferred from my skin to his did the trick! So maybe worth looking into.

I've also heard that Maca (a supplement) can increase libido in men & women, but I have no experience with it.

Good luck.

my husband has got a really low sex drive and I find that it's started to make me feel like I am not attractive anymore and is effecting my confidence a lot. I would really like to know more about these pills... what are they doing and what are they called? It'd just be nice for him to start the advance for dtd rather than me all the time (and getting turned down 4 out of 5 times). It's especially annoying when it's around O day as I OPK secretly as he thought that was effecting his sex drive but now he doesn't even know when we bd to make a baby and when it's a decoy bonk!

PLease tell me more about the pills and anything else that you can think of that might help those of us in this situation.

My DH has a low sex drive. He takes anti depressants and while he needs them, they do have bad effects on libido. We just recently switched to a new brand after talking to the doc because I felt like I reached a breaking point because I was always being rejected. And it seemed to always be around O time because I would obviously try to bd more. Now we're just NTNP and taking it easy for a couple months. I think during TTC many girls have had some issues with their men. It's an understandably stressful time.

hey thanks guys... ill try a few things and see how it works.. i even got to the point last night where i asked if he even wanted this child because he isnt putting in the effort.. im just sick of him promising it will happen then go to bed when i go to the toilet or leave the room for something.. then we get into an arguement because he lied about wanting to have sex.. and then he goes thats apparently how we start.. we argue but by the time we are finished arguing im not in the mood.. i told him im not going to have sex with him if its started with an arguement so i dont think ill be having any in a while..

My DH has a low sex drive as well with usually only 2 bd during O week. Fortunately he did some reading on his own (shocker) and put himself on some supplements. Still a little early to tell if they are REALLY working but I have noticed a little more. PS we are in our late 30's so it's usually a little harder for old guys.

Sorry for bumping here too. I just wanted to ask for someone's else experience. Have you tried anything to increase sex drive? My husband has so much stress lately and our sexual life degraded a lot. Don't know what to do.

Have you tried any supplements? The lack of vitamins can have a bad influence on your body. Of course, you can try Generic Cialis or similar meds. But as you've mentioned the reason is a psychological state, not a physical one, I'd suggest you to focus on that.

I like yoni app but have never used their partner feature. Assuming the app is promising and user-friendly the feature might help you solve the issue.

I am that partner. I honestly do not like sex at all. Never have. I get no enjoyment out of it, so it feels like such a chore to me! My husband, however, would go all day if he could! It doesn't help that he forces himself not to finish to soon which often just ends up making him psych himself out and not being able to finish at all.

I imagine it's harder when it's the man with the low drive though. I can force myself, can't force him.
