writes:Hello,I have a low sexual desire and know that it is causing problems with my relationship. I am mad at myself for not wanting sex, but I just have a really low desire to be intimate with my husband. It is causing stress in my life and I want to know if other women have this same problem. What treatments are there or any other advice? Do you think I should talk to my doctor about this? Thanks!

 If your doctor is worth his/her salt, they will be totally professional and supportive. Take a deep breath and ask. You have nothing to lose and look what you will have to gain! Good luck, you'll do just fine.

Women...Would you be okay with visiting a doctor and asking for help with desire?? I feel weird about asking a doctor about this. I mean....is it all in my head??!!

Absolutely talk to your doctor! There have been a couple of medicines mentioned on the news lately. Plus it's always best to first get a clean bill of health before you address any physical problems. Good luck, I'll bet you'll be back in the saddle right quick and in a hurry.

I think it's common. To be honest, I don't always have a sex drive until foreplay or even after the penis is in. I think you need to talk to your husband about "prepping" you more. I think it's all in your mind and if you want to have that drive, you'll get it if he's doing all the right stuff...eg oral sex, fingering, kissing is a definite helper too (neck, body, lips), etc etc.
