I’m still able to have sex with my husband cause I love him and im very attracted to him, but I dont get any pleasure from it. He says everything still feels fine to him. I just just feel like my body is numb. What can I do to get my feeling back?

So i think my low sex drive with my boyfriend derived from my past sexual abuse. However, my situation is kind of complicated. Although my past sexual abuse has nothing to do with him I feel that the reason I lost the desire was because of the lies and heartbreak of his being an alcoholic. I got to the point where I left him. I was able to move on quickly to being intimate with another man. This confuses me. I actually wanted sex. Anyway, my ex showed me he was going to get sober and I saw he was really trying. We got back together. I do sincerely love this man so much but because I don’t have the desire to have sex it is causing so many arguments. How can I move past this and want to be intimate again?

I don’t like taking medication due to past childhood trauma. I am still new to this idea of having this diagnosis, if this does happen to be why I am the way am and feel the way I do during and about sex, are there any other methods to help? I really don’t want to have to medicate myself but I don’t want to keep feeling this way either.

I believe I’ve had HSDD my whole life. I am only now looking into this. My whole life I never felt sexually aroused, by either gender, even though I would have sex. I enjoy sex more with women than men, and also am more attracted to women. I much prefer being the giver, than the receiver. When my partner wants to pleasure me, I’m at a loss at what to do, how to feel, if I’m supposed to be feeling something, if this is normal, if I’m broken. I just feel nothing, emptiness when it’s my turn. And I feel ashamed and abnormal. My main question is, how did you discover HSDD and how did you talk to your partner about it, if at all? Thank you ladies!

what is hsdd?

It’s a treatable medical condition also called hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Women with HSDD have decreased sexual desire that they find frustrating. HSDD can lower your self esteem and strain your relationship. If that’s what you’re feeling, don’t feel alone or embarrassed—unblush.
