Women and sex drive...

[kryptic]

This question is primarily addressed to women but can equally apply to men.
If you lost your sex drive, how do you deal with it in terms of your relationship? (Obviously, if you are singe then there wont be much of a problem)
Would you simply sweep it under the carpet and pretend that everything is still OK in your relationship or would you seek some sort of medical advice?
If your partner still desired you (sexually) but you were more than happy just to carry on as though everything were ok, would you expect your relationship to survive?
If you lost your sex drive, do you think that your partner would feel rejected and would you really care anyway?...

I know - it's left her with all sorts of problems, and she's such a nice person.

<<Has kryptic got an answer yet?>>

We have answered best we can, seems not to have been right though. Let us hope they get it sorted.

[karenmac60]

He seems to have disappeared ELVIS, I asked him a question a while ago, but he's not been back to answer. I think folk have just started chatting while they wait.

I think Toldyaso`s picture is the gecko from the geico commercials in the States by the way.

[karenmac60]

That's true. If he has any sense he'll be sound asleep by now, think I'll head off too x

Ok, fair enough.
Kryptic:
"If you lost your sex drive, how do you deal with it in terms of your relationship?"
I haven't been in that situation, my answer is simply this: Love.
If the 'fire' has fizzled but the love is still there - that means everything afaic.
"If you lost your sex drive, do you think that your partner would feel rejected and would you really care anyway?"
Would or should ? If the love between you is strong enough, sex shouldn't be the "be all and end all" IMO.
Sorry, that's all I can offer.

In this situation all the 'closeness' in the world will not ease a mans sexual frustrations

He needs to deal with that in whichever way he sees fit

Thanks for all replies guys.
Sorry I didnt get back to you all last night but I had to go to bed.
I seriously think that my relationship is over. Its nothing to do with sex as such, its more to do with the fact that my other half seems to think that its acceptable to shut me out as though everything is perfectly acceptable and refuses to talk about issues that that need to be discussed.
It really gets on my t1ts when I try to broach the subject of intamicy and she just makes a joke of it. I really dont understand women at all.
Guess I'm just crap at relationships. Maybe thats why Im sitting at my computer now and getting p1ssed (I dont generally drink in the day but im at the end of my tether at feeling rejected and my OH thinking that everything is fine and dandy)
Once again, thanks for all replies folk.

[kryptic]

My OH will be back home at teatime. I seriously think that my cases will be packed by then.

kryptic, suggest counselling together.. at least then you'll know you've tried every avenue.

[kryptic]

sara, thank you for your reply.
Ive suggested everything but she doesnt seem to think that theres a problem.
I feel like a spare part.
I honestly just dont get it. Im made to feel like a pervert for wanting to be close to my partner. Why do women do this to the man that they are with?
As ive said before, its not even about sex. Its about wanting to be close to the woman that youve chosen to be with. Going to bed at night with a quick kiss and a 'goodnight' just doesnt do it for me anymore.

are you willing to walk away from your kids over this?

try counselling...seriously
