I am so lost. I'm 29 female married 5yrs. Love him to death. But I'm having the female version of "can't get it up". I want to have sex, but I never seem to be turned on except when it's not possible to get together (in public, etc). The "fun" part about this is with my diagnoses of Bipolar, Borderline, and Panic...every medical professional I have seen (family doc, obgyn) promptly stops taking notes upon discovering these disorders and chalks it up to "it's in your head". Gee, thanks. I have gotten my meds down to the ones that cause the least amout of sexual side effects that I can. This has been a recurrent problem over the last couple of years, and is HIGHLY disturbing for me that it is back. Things had been smooth sailing in this category for at least 6months..so I feel totally knocked down a peg to be back in this rut. Does anyone else have these problems?

Hi Borderlineann,

Welcome to PC

I personally have a high sex drive and the SSRI im on at the moment has suppressed my libido significantly which of course im not happy about so i know how you feel Have you talked to your partner about your issues? Sometimes just increasing the intimacy without actually having sex might help you stay close and even improve your desire to have sex. If the problem continues you might want to go to your doc about it and see what he says. Good luck.

Have you tried making love in the garden?

I feel that many people run into problems sexually and other wise when the attempt to fight their body and mind in order to be what is considered by the public as “normal.” Find what excites you down there and share that with our partner. So long as you both agree to it the sky is the limit, well I guess in some cases the law is the limit. (eg. Sex in Public)
Thanks for this!
