Hi all. I have a question regarding my husbands sex drive, or lack of.
A little background I suppose is in order... We have been married for 5 years. He has never had a sex drive although it has gotten much worse over the years, we now have sex maybe 5 times a year. My husband is an ex-heroin user and is now in the Methadone program (which is no better to me, but that is another post.) He has no problem getting an erection, it is the desire that is lacking. I am seriously considering divorce, he has not made any attempt to get himself help and I am tired of trying to have sex only to get shot down. So, my question would be, is there any kind of prescription or process I can look into that would help his sex drive return (that is if he ever did have one to begin with). Help. Sexless |

The problem could be due to the side effects of this medication........ decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm.
I understand the need to have a sexual connection with your husband (as to bond) and yet I have to ask.... is this the real problem to which you would really end your marraige over (or) is there some thing else? - other matters that the sexless marraige only adds to it. Take-care and Hang in there.................. ((( hugs ))). LoVe, Rhapsody - |

Thank you for your reply Rhapsody.
I suppose we do have other problems, but nothing to contemplate divorce over. He has had a low sex drive since the beginning, even an old girlfriend he had told me (before we dated) that he has a very low sex drive. The main problem is that I keep on trying to have a sexual relationship only to get shot down. It is wearing on me and is depressing, how many times can I try to have sex with my husband and it not happen before I crack? I personally believe that it is drug related and that is why I am asking if there is anything that can be done about it. I am hoping there is some miracle therapy or drug that will give him some sex drive. I like your disclaimer, mind if I use it too? |

A lot of people mention Wellbutrin when it comes to this problem............... trying researching this subject with other threads here on PC that have talked about this subject.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
