Hello,

   well i have just been reading through some past posts, made me laugh but was just thinking to myself. I have been with dp nearly 4 years and Emily will be 2 in May and i hardly have any interest in our sex life whatsoever! I was a raging nymph before Emily but ever since i just cant be bothered, we aren't completely sex free like a few times a week maybe lol sorry tmi but just wanted to know if I'm the only one? dp is like a hormonal teenager as always lol (not moody ahem lol)

         I will crawl back under my rock

Erm

I wasnt interested in sex at all after Ryan was born, i honestly didnt think id ever want it again & for me it took getting a new dp to bring my libido back

Tbh i dont find being a mummy incredibly sexy & find it hard to switch off from mummy mode, im sure im not alone there. So its not surprising we no longer feel like the sex crazed people we maybe once were lol

Erm... a few times a week!? Your DP wanted to chat to mine if he feels he's missing out.

We've been together nearly 5 years at at the begining we were at it like rabbits. Before Eds we had slowed down be still reasonably frequent. These days, well twice a month and he considers himself a lucky man!

My sex drive disappeared while on the hormone injection (depo) and 6 months after coming off I'm only just starting to see it returning. Add to that I'm knackered, we dont always go to bed at the same time, I've put weight on so dont feel sext - etc, well you get the picture.

Dont worry, you are normal! If you want to spice things up have a night away in a hotel or get your parents/inlaws to take lo for the night and have some fun...

I'm really low with my sex drive. I hardly have one at all. Thing is this is an issue in our relationship as like everyone elses dp he has a high sex drive. I'm just constantly tired and want an early night but not that kind of early night.

Hes lucky if he gets it once a week. We have been together 5 years in May.

So if anyone does have any tips on getting this back please help. xxx
