What age do women start having a low sex drive?

Cindy: What age do women start having a low sex drive?
My libido was very high when I was in my mid 30’s. I wanted to have sex every day and I was constantly thinking about sex. My husband used to say I’m a sex addict. I suddenly lost my sex drive since I turned 40 a few months ago, I don’t enjoy sex and I don’t want to have sex anymore. I’m healthy and fit and my periods are regular. Is it normal to lose your sex drive when your 40? Or am I bored with my husband and sex life?

I think you should have normal sex drive in 40s and you may consider if there are other factors that effect you.

maybe need something new and stimulating.

One common problem that happens is this. I have been there and done that. You have to figure out what it is first that is destroying your sex drive. If your on medication like birth control or anti-depressants that is something to think about and do research on. Other then that it could just be stress, maybe the kids, really anything that makes your life stressful can do this and lower the libido.

One thing I tried that seemed to work while I was doing it was exercising. I just felt sexier doing it which kind of boosted my libido. However it wasn’t the best solution for me. My friend told me about these herbal enhancers that are made from natural herbs and don’t cause any side effects besides having wild sex. She said it’s the female version of viagra. I had to find out.

I would always have a weak orgasm too (if I had one at all), which after trying this sex enhancer, it boosted them tremendously. I don’t get multiple orgasms but I’ve had plenty since being on these herbs. It’s seriously like the best vibrator ride you’ve ever experienced. These things make me horny all the time, some days I don’t even take them because the urge is just too strong.

Don’t try out single herbs because they don’t do it like the blend of herbs these scientists and researchers pick out. I’ve tried a couple of them by itself and they did crap. The stuff that I’m on is called Hersolution, at the time I saved money on it at herenhancement.com . Make sure you get the 3 month supply that way you fall under the guarantee/return policy if the herbs don’t work for you, you can return them with no questions ask. I bet they will work though and you won’t have any problems. Also if your on medication of any sort, check out the gel because if your like me, you wouldn’t want to swallow any thing that might react with the medications your already on.

Well have a good day and hopefully you solved your problem.

Everyone is different, The one answer is corect to a point anti-depressents do have adverse effects on sex drives. My wife is 54 and she is extrem in the sex department sence we got married 4 years ago and she was in meno then. Think back to when you started to loose it what was going on…
Did you have to try hard to get the hubby in the mood? Start any meds? Something happen in bed that was well not right? Eliminate the factors and you will find your answer.

I don’t think it is due to you now being in your forties- because I am and I can’t get enough 😉
