You've got a lot on your plate right now. I'd imagine you're just trying to make it through the day. Your window has not closed forever. When the time is right, and you're with someone you really care about, it will be wonderful for you again. Best wishes.

I could take it or leave it. I've been single for years at a time, and resorted to solo. But even IN a relationship, I could take it or leave it. Ultimately, I notice that we're just not having it anymore--and by then, the relationship is usually on its last legs anyhow.

I definitely go through phases where I think it's more boredom than lack of libido or anything else. I love having sex, sometimes can't get enough but then there are times things just get comfortable and routine and we both don't find ourselves initiating sex. Come to think of it, I'm in that funk now LOL - I need to snap my a$$ out of it! LOL

If I ever reach a time when I no longer care, I'll take the cure- a bullet.

Stress is a libido killer. Manage your stress and your libido should return.

As mentioned before medicine can affect your libido as well. I was on some for a while... yeesh... killed the libido *and* caused temporary impotence. It was nice of Big Pharma to actually inform me of those side effects while we were trying to get pregnant. (That was sarcasm. Those side effects weren't listed or discussed, and I did not find out about them until years later).

Variety is the spice of life and no different with a sex life, you do the same all the time and you will eventually it will get stale. Mix it up with your partner and say hello to more good times.

Well you really are a barrel of fun and high spirits.

Apart from that, I agree with those responders who've assured movin'on that much has to do with the demands of daily life and stress issues. I'd also add that there is no such thing as "normal." We all hear our own drummer and if we're fortunate enough to be a in a relationship where our partner marches to the same beat then that's what's important. Good luck!

Just because I don't find it as essential to a pleasant life as everyone else? Some even claim that they couldn't live without it.

One question for the OP: how long has it been since you've had "it" in your life? I've heard that the longer you go without, the less you desire it, which will be a blessing for me when I finally reach that stage. Then you'll meet someone wonderful and your body will wake up.
