Re: Low Sexual Desire?

Ladies, I am right there with you! Personally, I think my problem is now
caused from a kind of mental block. I have always been a sexual person,
but since my endo has gotten out of control, I could really care less if
I have sex or not. I think too many times of being in pain during, or
pain and bleeding afterwards (sometimes for 24-48 hours!) has just
turned off my sex drive. With a lot of foreplay, I can get in the mood
and actually enjoy myself, but as far as just feeling "frisky", that is
pretty much non-existent! Once the hubby and I get started, I'm fine and
can enjoy it despite the pain, but to just out of the blue want to
"attack" the hubby for some lovin' just isn't happening anymore. One
more joy of endo!
Hugs!
