Question:
I suffer from low libido, there is no reason that I feel this way, I just never feel like sex. I love my boyfriend very much and we have been together for 3yrs. What can I do to increase my libido? I do want to have more sex.

Hi, First, maybe it would help you to know that lack of interest in sex is a common condition. One survey, the NHSLS, showed that 16% of men and 33% of women experienced it. There are a number of things that could cause low libido. I should stress here that I am a sexuality researcher and not a therapist. I'm not qualified to diagnose sexual disorders or offer treatment suggestions. That being said, sexual disorders can have both physical and psychological causes. I'd suggest contacting AASECT to find a liscenced sex therapist in your area. He or she can help you look at the physical and/or psychological causes that might be influencing your libido. He or she also might be able to work with your boyfriend to help him understand your condition. Good luck! Blaise
