    Had this problem when my kids were younger, and it led to my husband cheating on me. It was a really dark part of our life together but we worked through it and compromised. He promised to always say something when it’s REALLY starting to bother him and I promised to give in every once in a while. It was very difficult but now our sex life has never been better!

    allstarashleigh, was it better between you and your husband before you had a child? I think most women go through this at some point after having children, so I doubt there is anything “wrong” with you! I really think its a self-esteem issue–it’s hard to feel sexy if you haven’t spent any time taking care of yourself.

    I talked to my doctor about this and all she told me to do was read a good romance novel. Boy, was that worthless advise. I felt she could at least tested my hormone levels. It causes a lot of problems with my husband. He does not understand and has threatened to leave me in the past.

    My friend gave me some of her Testosterone pills to try that her odc gave her. They worked but then when I asked my doc for them I was told I needed therapy… Boo! Who has time for that?

    I found that I was very sexual before cancer then after I had a hysterectomy I had no hormones. I enjoy sex; but I don’t have that carnal desire i once had. I remember to make efforts in flirting and touching my husband..We have a good sex life but it is an effort for me to remember to flirt and be in a good mindset.

    Wow-it is so hard to deal with a problem like this. But, it is good to know that other women have been in your shoes, and, from talking with them, it seems a lot of them have been able to recover intimacy in their marriage. However, what makes this issue tough is there can be so many reasons for a woman’s (or man’s) lack of interest in sex!

    So, I’ve found that the best first step is always to meet with a doctor (or OB/GYN) that will take you seriously and make sure there’s not a medical reason for why you’re feeling this way. Like a lot of you shared, hormones can play a huge role here.

    And, once you rule those issues out, counseling is also a great option. I know sometimes there can be things in our past that keep us from enjoying this area of our marriage. And, a counselor can help both you and your husband dig deeper into these issues.

    In fact, I found a couple replies by a professional counselor on another forum that gave some good thoughts on this topic: http://www.focusonlinecommunities.com/message/101134#101134 and http://www.focusonlinecommunities.com/message/92371#92371. Might be helpful?

    Well, don’t give up hope ladies!

    There are so many reasons this could be happening. I’ve gotta say this has got to be the one thing I hate about my life right now. For me I was molested by my Uncle as a child. Growing up in my home sex was taboo! You didn’t talk about, you didn’t look at the TV even if someone is just kissing! It was a bad thing. I had an ex-husband (really more than one) that forced me to have sex with them at different times. I’ve gained weight so, I don’t feel attractive at all. This has all gotten worse since I had a partial hysterectomy. I have no sex drive what so ever! If my husband don’t come on to me, he just ain’t gettin any. Plain as that! I can’t start it.
    I need to be clear though, the husband I have now (#4) is great! He is so understanding and he has so much patience with me. He knows everything I’ve been through and I just couldn’t ask for a better man. He never complains about it or anything but, i feel like he deserves more. He deserves better then what I’m able to give. Or not give in this case.
    I even had a Dr give me Viagra once! It didn’t work. Sometimes I don’t think anything will. I need help! Bad! I’m 41 and this is the time I’m suppose to be having the best sex of my life! Not only is my husband missing out but, I am too.

    How To Get Rid Of Bad Acne

    well i have bad acne too. to get rid of it like bit more fast than usually you go to the doctor and tell them about your acne (don’t worry about showing them your acne they seen worst) and they write a prescription for you for “Clindoxyl Gel” it works really well you wash your face and apply it then the next day it shrinks down really fast. (P.S don’t eat alot of junk food it makes alot of pimples on your face and you will only wonder how to get rid of acne) and using a soap bar makes it really worst.
    Ok well a couple of things,
    1. You should not just be washing your face with soap. There is a reason why they make face washes. The science behind it is, most washes and soaps are not pH balanced. Our skin has a thing called an “acid mantle.” Which is around a pH of 4.5.
    When you wash with a high alkaline soap, you raise your skins pH that results in dryness. and can evn result in lizard skin.
    this happens because the high pH sends the enzmyes in our skin that are responsible for natural exfoliation into hyperdrive.
    I would strongly suggest you go to the drug store and buy a cheap wash. IF you can i would even higher recommend you buy a nicer face wash that is pH balanced like Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.
    But since you have acne, you are best off getting an acne wash. They make an acne wash too, but acne washes can not be perfectly balanced for our skin, or else they would not be able to kill the bacteria.
    2. Never use toothpaste as a spot treatment. The fluoride in toothpaste is known to burn the skin. Instead invest in a nice spot treatment for your breakouts.
    3. If you wear a helmet, wipe down the straps and pads in the helmet with an alcohol pad. If you wear a backpack, get an acne face wipe, and wipe down your back after your bike. The increase sweat causes an increase of bacteria.
    An acne face wipe can also help keep your face free of breakouts, or at least be used to spruce up before and after work.
