Re: Sex problems

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.
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.
