writes: "Please help me. He is older with a low sex drive"I am 27 yrs old. I have been in a relationship with this man for 6 1/2 months or so. He is 36 years old. He use to be addicted to pain pills so he got on Methadone. He says it decreases his sex drive. When we 1st got together we had sex a lot everyday almost, twice a day sometimes. He had alot of trouble when he would try to get off most of the time he couldnt. Well I'd say for the past two months or so we just drifted apart. He is going up on his medication and he says his sex drive is low. He just doesn't seem to want anything to do with me sexually anymore we havent had sex now in almost 3 1/2 weeks. We do live together and I know he isn't cheating so that is out of the story. We have talked about it and he kinda trys to blame me, he says I dont come on to him! It really isnt true though. I try bad because I am in love with this man. I am begining to wonder if he loves me anymore and what should I do about this? He says he loves me but he doesnt seem to want anything sexual with me. Please someone help me I am so confused on what to do!!

It could be the Methadone that is causing his problem then. He's to be commended on wanting to get off the pills so let him know you admire him for doing that. Don't keep going on at him about the sex side of things as this will only add more pressure. Why don't you try other things with him apart from penetrative sex? There are lots of other ways you can turn him on and get him in the mood. He says you don't come on to him so DO IT!!!! lol
He's probably just as pissed off about not being able to show you intimately how much he cares for you as you are so you take the lead. In time he will need less Methadone and if he doesn't get pressure from you then he'll be pretty much back to normal in time.
