low libido in young women

Via Pexels

I am a 21 year old female with no sex drive. I love my boyfriend, I WANT to be intimate with him, but once the time comes for intercourse, I am dry as a desert downstairs and confused because I know I want him. I have low libido for a young woman. It is like there is no communication between my brain and my body parts. We've talked this through (because we've both had problems as of late), and both of us have come to the conclusion that we are tired and our diets are different as of late because we are not at home (actually on the other side of the country for a few more weeks). I understand diet can affect sex-drive but my diet has probably improved since being here, but I can admit that I've been pretty tired. Also, in the past month, I started bleeding mid-cycle even though I take the pill consistently. I visited the doctor and everything was normal, and I will start a new pill in a week or two once this cycle is done. I just don't know what to do. We want each other so badly, but I wasn't ready dowstairs when he was definitely ready. What can I do? Why is there low libido in young women?

Hi I'm 23 been with my boyfriend for 3 years now. The first 1 1/2 years were wonderful. I never felt so beautiful. Then all of a sudden my sex drive just disappeared on me. Causing depression for both him and me. I was diagnosed with chronic migraines about the same time, but I've had them all my life. My medication indicates nothing to do with sex drive. I feel so bad to do this to him. Sometime I just force myself and even then it only lasts a few minutes. I have no connection to my downstairs and when I do I don't control it, and I dry up in a matter of minutes. I don't feel right saying that at 23. When I asked my doctor about it, her general answer was to "deal with it".

Hi. I'm 27. I've been married to my husband for 3 years. I was a virgin before my marriage and was never as interested in sex as my friends. For about 2 years, we had an okay sex life, though he was the one to always initiate it. I had some problems with a recurrent yeast infection and I think I have a little vaginismus and dryness. In the past one year, my sexual drive is practically nonexistent. I don't think about sex and find it hard to get aroused. It's putting a real strain on my relationship. What do you think could be the problem. Could it be hormonal or psychological considering I was never sex-crazed at any point in my life. Thank you.

Hi I'm also having trouble with my sex drive. I am 21 years old, I have a boyfriend of 2 years and a 2 year old son. Between work and my son I can get tired and stressed. I used to be a very sexual person with my boyfriend but for the last year I have no desire for sex. I was on the Mirena IUD for about a year before I started having issues with pain and cysts rupturing in my uterus. I had the Mirena removed and have not experienced any more pain but since then I have gained some weight and also had trouble with minor acne and depression. I don't think I have low self esteem, I just have no desire for sex at all. This is ruining my relationship and I don't understand what is wrong with my body. Please help me.

Hi I'm 23 years old, I have a son who is a year old.I have a handsome boyfriend of 5 months. At first our sex life was wonderful. But now I don't think about it or have the desire to have sex. It's pissing my boyfriend off and it gets to the point where we fight over it. Now. My pass relationship was with my sons father. I have been with him for 3years and I had the same problem with him towards the end of the relationship. Then I got it back for a few months with my boyfriend. Now I just don't want anything to do with sex. I don't want to fight anymore with him about it. I am on birth control. I have the copper iud. I just want the fighting to stop and make him happy . Please help

Hello,
21 and I have lost my sex drive. I have a house, good paying job, and a attractive boyfriend. we have been together for over two years and during the first year things were electric. couldn't keep our hands off each other. however past 6 months I have had no sex drive that I don't want to kiss him casue I know he will lead it into sex. its gotten to the point where he is thinking about leaving cause there is no sex in our relationship or in his words no passion. I cant push myself to have sex when I don't want to. he puts me down about it making me feel bad and there are times when he says I should just deal with it and have sex with him cause he wants his needs met. it make me angry when he pushes me like this which makes me not want to have sex even more. is that wrong?

hi, I am a 28 year old female and I have no urge when it comes to wanting to have sex. what is wrong with me. it's is effecting my relationship to the point he may want to leave. We have 3 kids we have be on and off for 9 years. But over the past yr or more I really don't care about having sex. Thier are a fee issues we stay at his dad's house were his brother, sister, dad, two nephews, our 3 kids and me and him. So if we do have sex we have to sneak around about it bc thier so many people in the house. Most of the time I do not initiate sex unless I have had a drink that is the only time I really wanna have sex. Sometimes that does not even help. I lI've hum very much and tell him we need out own time alone once in a while but he ignore that. I tell him to shoe me some affection he ignore that, but says he shows me it. In the past year I have gained some weight, lost my job, I an ib the house 24/7, I don't ever get out. I try to explain to him that this is effecting me but he says iam just making excuses. I want to have sex and I know if we did it more we would both be happier but I just don't have the urge what's wrong with me. maybe I am depressed in a way. idk please help I need advice quick before it's too late

I am 23 years old healthy female and I have no sex drive and feel no pleasure while having sex. I have been with my partner for 3 years and feel very comfortable with him, we have a son together. I have not felt pleasure with other partners in the past. Any ideas that could be wrong?
