I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with me. I'm about to be 22 and I've been with my boyfriend for 3.5 years, and although my sex drive has always been up and down throughout the month, lately it's been pretty low for more than usual. I don't have ANY physical desire to have sex lately. I admire my boyfriend and find him incredibly attractive, and I want to have sex in THEORY to connect with him more, but the SENSATION of sex and stimulation turns me OFF and whenever he tries to turn me on I get annoyed inside because the sensation is pissing me off because I have no drive. I have a feeling that it's hormonal because often I'll get my period and then after that all of a sudden the stimulation feels really good, but lately it's like 3 out of 4 weeks of the month my sex drive is low and the stimulation is annoying.. it's like I'm numb down there.. i don't feel anything pleasurable. I thought it might also be psychological, like I'm expecting to have the low drive and therefore I do, but sometimes I'll expect that the stimulation will be annoying, but then he'll touch me there and it'll surprisingly feel good, and I'm like, "ok then.. i guess my body likes it today..." I've been getting depressed about this a lot lately because I feel like I'm letting my boyfriend down and myself down. I used to be in the mood so much more and my drive is just getting lower and lower and it's making me paranoid. The preoccupation with this is causing me to feel very distracted and the absence of good sex is making things a little more distant emotionally between my boyfriend and I, because we often had very emotionally connecting and loving sex. I just want to feel horny again!!!! I used to be so turned on by him and now I feel like nothing turns me on, like I'm asexual. Even though I've never been into the opposite sex I've even thought about girls to see if I was somehow all of the sudden a lesbian (I know, ridiculous, but this is how dumbfounded I am as to why I have no drive) and that doesn't turn me on either, at all. And I have no qualms with being into the opposite sex, so I know I'm not denying that to myself either. I've always been very attracted to my boyfriend, so why is my drive so low? Has anyone else ever gone through this?? Is this normal? Do you think I'll get my drive back??

I would suggest you calling your gynecologist and talking to her. If she can not help you with something, then I suggest you calling a psychologist. Before you get defensive, remember that your "sex drive" is physical and mental; you need to work on the mental part. Good luck!
1Have you recently gone on any medications like the pill or an antidepressant? These can affect your sex drive. I think you should talk to your doctor. Good luck.
