Lack of libido can be treated in partners of either gender by doctors. If it's hormonal BC, there are dozens of alternatives out there. If it's a hormone drop due to pregnancy, nursing, weight issues, etc., call your OB/GYN and/or primary care physician and get it treated.
However, if you just aren't interested in your DH/DW any more, you have a choice to make. Renew your interest and find out why you got married in first place. Alternatively, prepare for a divorce or a lonely, unsatisfying life while married (with or without open or secret infidelity).
We all need love, physical and otherwise. That said, there are alternatives to missionary if you have residual issues after birth. Still, your OB/GYN can help you with that if you just communicate.
No, I'm not Masters and Johnson. I'm just a happily married mom of three kids whose sex life with DH has lasted decades now. I know how to stay married. Celibacy is not the way.
Yup. This woman speaks the truth. All the ones who excuse not having sex are the problems.
