How can I get a higher sex drive?

Contributor: TiffanyW TiffanyW
My husband has started taking a testosterone booster, and his sex drive has been........incredible .

But since I had my son, My sex drive has been nothing. That was 3.5 years ago! How do I make my sex drive a little better???? I don't get it... I am 22... My sex drive should be awesome, and it's not.

try working on your Kegels in a regular daily routine. and never stop. I had a sexual reawakening after practicing regularly every day for over 5 months. and now when I flex them in bed, it does trigger sexual interest.

Nah, for women your sex drive doesn't really peak until your mid to late 20s. If you are only 22 why did your husband take testosterone, maybe he is 40+?

Make sure your mind and body is healthy before you look anywhere else. It is quite normal to go through periods of high and low sex drive. Nothing wrong with a period of low sex drive, it just gives you more time for more meaningful intimate experiences. Long lasting relationships aren't built on how much you can fuck in a day.

He is 23. He was experiencing low energy, low sex drive, memory issues, and some other things. We talked to a doc and they suggested the testosterone booster. It's not full blown testosterone, just a booster. It's a vitamin mix.

We don't base our relationship on sex at all. We have been together for a long time, and sex really isn't important. But I wish I was more willing to have sex when he wants to.

If you doctor did the tests and recommended it then that's fine, bit odd to be used on someone young. You can increase testosterone levels by sleeping right, eating right and working out.

Really I just suggest to eat healthy, eat fruits and veggies like celery, avocados and bananas and even add in some chocolate now and then. Get exercise, plenty of sleep and don't stress yourself out. If that doesn't work I suggest you get really into handjobs/blowjobs. Tell him to go masturbate occasionally

Number one... from what I have learnt, it is normal for some to feel a decreased libido after having a kid. The biggest suggestion really, is talk to your doctor about it first and foremost. Get some blood work done to make sure everything is within normal limits for you (compare to history).

Next, I'd suggest a change in foods. Go more green and natural. If you have a good exercise routine, great! If you don't, maybe start in a yoga class or some other form of exercise. Many mothers just simply don't take or have the time to focus on themselves after haivng kids. And it is important they do. See if you can do some things for yourself. A day at the spa or create a day spa in your home. Or get the girls together for a coffee date and mani pedi day at home with lots of fun appetizers.

And lastly, I don't know if this is the case at all, but have your husband focus on you rather than on sex when he is horny. Then there is no feeling of you feeling obligated to have sex giving your mind a break from the feelings of disappointing him. Massages, candles, cuddling etc...

But above all else, I'd say a doctors visit should be really high up there on your list.
