Hi all. I`m new to the forum but from the few posts I read I realised that nearly all of you are a helpful lot. You offer great help, so thanks.

Now my problem is sex. I have been married for 2 months now and me and my wife only made love once...on our wedding night. We have been together for 3 years and for the first 6 months sex was great but then it started to get less and less frequent, like once a month.

I think my wife is really in love with me but we seem to have lost that special touch to start sex. I really do not know why. We talked countless times about it but we never seem to find the answer to our problem. One reason she gives me is that the contraception pill she takes really lowers her sex drive but she has actually done nothing to change the type of pill.

Btw I am pretty sure that she does not have an affair (although you can nevr be 100 per cent certain)

Welcome to A2K hmmm. This is a real bummer. I've never heard of a contraceptive pill causing this type of trouble. My girlfriend takes the pill and, if anything, it increases her libido. I suspect your wife may need some counseling. Or you might want to try a new aftershave.

Haven't they come out with some female counterpart to Viagra lately? I think I saw something about it on the news. Maybe she can ask her doctor about it. She should go to the doctor anyway to get checked out just in case there's some underlying problem causing this. Let us know how it goes!

She should ask her MD about the pill first, because it can sometimes precipitate a lowered sex drive. Also, is your wife depressed? That could also be a part of it. Either way, a visit to her physician is in order.

No my wife is not depressed as far as I know. The problem would be how to ak her to see some specialist help.

Another one chiming in that the pill can in fact have that effect (lowered libido.)

Since she's already said that, you can start there -- "bummer about the pill affecting things, what did your doctor say about it? Oh, you haven't talked to the doc yet? I read an article [you can Google for one, they're out there] that if you switch prescriptions that could help -- what do you think, worth a try?" At the very least, that gets her to her doctor and talking about the fact that her libido is low.

I really don't know what to say. I wish your wife would come to this board and post.

Certainly, your wife should see a doctor to determine if she has a medical problem that is interfering in your intimate life as a couple.

If there is no medical problem, then you and your wife should consider joint and separate counseling.

Perhaps she is holding in resentments; perhaps she is not aroused because she is tired or feels that sex is a chore or a burden; perhaps she is unsatisfied and doesn't know how to tell you what she needs to make the experience more enjoyable.

GOSH--there could be a MILLION reasons why she is not interested in sexual intimacy. Maybe it will all change when she switches her birth control--maybe it won't. But, this is a delicate matter that must be approached with love and tenderness.

hmmm, I haven't yet spent the time to read all the responses before adding my .02c worth, but here goes. 1) What have you done to make your wife "feel" sexy? 2) Have you bought you wife some flowers or a small gift since you married? 3) Have you give her a surprise card that says you love her? 4) Ever hear of viagra? 5) Watch a romantic movie together? 6) Hold each other? and 7) plan a romantic evening out for a show and dinner?

yeah thanks all...I asked my wife to change her pill and she agreed to talk to her doctor about it. Also, I don`t think I have been so romantic after our first year so maybe that is at fault as well....will make the effort to make my wife feel special by my actions not words alonr...thanks again

I had a problem in my first marriage with sex, my drive being much lower than that of my husband and after we divorced I found a book that I had wished I had read before our divorce. I think the original was Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus but I am referring to 'Mars and Venus in the bedroom' by John Gray.
