No libido or desire for sex

This is so untrue. It is both partners responsibility to take care of each other and also to seek help medically or via therapy if needed.

DP. +1000

And the person you responded to is acting like there is zero hormonal component here, when most of the time, women’s libido drops off in Peru and or menopause (though, of course, there are exceptions).

Some people have no idea or could even figure out what someone else is going through and they just try to project their experience on everyone. Thanks, PP.

In keeping with the prior recommendation to watch some smut, you can also read some smut.
Works pretty well.
Here’s some relatively mainstream free fanfic to start with, and the stories are legitimately cute:

I’ve almost given up. At this point I just have a roommate and kids. 0 passion 0 intimacy 0 playfulness. I realize I’m not perfect, but I try. There is no effort on her side. I can fool myself and say it is me. But when I look at it from the outside, I can honestly say it is her. I work out, I keep myself well groomed, well dressed. I’m playful and flirt. I do the other things as my part of managing the home and kids. How do I approach this? Is this fixable?

That's tough, bruh! It is more in her head than medical I think. How old are you guys and what is her explanation about it?

I’m starting to hear a lot of people do this.

some people just have sexual relationships outside of the marriages and it is very common.

I once read that the more you have sex, the more you want it.
This thread seems to debunk that.

That is probably true but some people just have no desire to do anything and that frustrates other partner.

My wife has no desire to do vaginal sex but she likes a**l in the mornings so I just turn her over and that's the way we start our day.

This is good too. I enjoy both so DH can pick and choose.

If erotic literature is more interesting to you, then a free, open-access site is

Literotica

If you are shy about using Google to search for it, just do a search on DuckDuckGo

I came here to read about my menopause symptoms and saw this thread. I’m shocked that I just realized it has been over 10 months since I last had sex with my DH. Needless to say I’m worried but I’m going to try to surprise him soon. I also started looking into HRT. Fingers crossed.
