Question - (4 November 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 5 November 2008)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Dear Cupid, I'm 24yrs old and I have been on Birth Control pills since the age of 16 due to ovarian cysts. I have never had any issues with my "libido" until just recently. Seems like lately, when having intercourse with my bf of 3 yrs, I cannot reach my climax. I seem to have trouble getting my body to have a orgasam. He's starting to think its him but he is perfect, and we are completely happy in our relationship. I know it is my problem and that the Birth Control, especially the NECON that I'm on right now, and it causes side effects such as killing your libido.

Sooo my question is, is there anything I can do, like vitamins or exercises that would bring my libido back?

Try vitamin B12. It is often regarded that B12 levels can drop during the taking of oral contraceptives. My wife suffered the same problem at the age of 17 and vitamin B12 brought her sexdrive back.

But in reality, you should seek your doctors advice, as taking the wrong vitamins at the wrong time can lead to serious problems in later life and any internet advice will only have been relevant to the person giving it.

Obviously I can't stop taking the pill due to my ovarian cysts...so thats not an option. As far as positions go...my bf and I are horndogs lol. We do ALOT of positions and what not. Our sex life has been wonderful...its just recently the tingly, pulsating, feeling has been minimal.

Miss Potter agony auntLibido isnt just orgasm though. If your libido was gone you wouldnt want to have sex in the first place.

Try using new positions?

When I was on the pill a while ago my sex drive has decreased - I wasnt up for sex at all, i have stopped taking the pill, my sex drive was back in about a month and a half or so.
