libido

[Guest guest]

Time to find a new GYN, I'd say! My doctor would at least try some

things instead of just saying, " Sorry...here's your money back. "

That just sounds weird to me.

Not really. All she had to offer was hormones with a lot of side affects

which I did not want to have. She was being honest.

Low female libido is usually due to low male testerone. Yes ladies, we got some

too. I swung the " other " way and it about drove my husband nuts. He kids me and

tells me it is what caused his heart attack. At first we sorta made up for all

those times his testerone worked well and I could not have cared less, did not

have the energy, the drive, the desire and just plain did not want him to tough

me, but just before the heart attack, he would call me before he left work just

to see if I had the " itch " . Then proceded to tell me to scratch it my self as

he was tired....So, I just sort of put it on the back shelf, then the heart

attack happened and quite frankly , it affected more than just his heart....So,

I just ignore that ole' testerone and figure that I am just lucky to have him

around to change the light bulbs for me..haha

Seriously, check with your gyno or at least the pcp and ask him. There is a

female viagra and if memory serves me right I think that there is some sort of

cream that you can rub on your wrists that is supposed to help. unless you don't

want it to change, In that case, let that dog lay.

take care in Mo.

Re: Libido

Same here, although I was chalking it up to depression (although I must

admit that a complete lack of sex is also more than a little depressing

<sigh>).

I'm at my lowest weight in well over 20 years and I figured I'd be

tackling my husband every time he came through the door. I can't

remember the last time I even WANTED to have sex.

Really?

My last blood work showed that I was distinctly Zinc deficient. Maybe

that's part of my problem.

For the record, I'm 39, trying to learn to get enough exercise and

ovulating regularly for the first time in my adult life (thank you Dr

Doroghazi and the MGB!).

I'll try the Zinc (and maybe a few other vitamins - yes I take the

recommended multi's).

My libido has died completely, and I used to be a maniac. I am 43, I eat

relatively well and although do not exercise regularly (by definition of

exercise), I am routinely active between walking to and from work 5 days/wk, on

my

feet most of the day, and housework. I probably look the best I ever have in

all my life, I have strange men coming up to me all the time telling me how

good I look and how sexy I am (in front of my husband, even!), yet it doesn't

phase me.

It is most definitely affecting our marriage. My husband's been pretty good

about it, but like he once said, he'd " like his wife back " .

Alright I am glad that someone brougt this up... I am only 27 years old and I

have the same issue.... HELP! I went to my GYN last week and she recommended YAZ

birth control to help even out the hormones... I gotta tell ya so far this has

done nothing but make me sick to my stomach with nausea. She also recommended

having the Thyroid checked because a libido issue is linked with the thyroid...

so that is my next step to go get some blood work done again and have it

checked. I have to do something about this soon ... my husband and I are

frustrated!! LOL

So if any of you have a solution please post it for the rest of us!

This truly sounds like an hormonal problem. Have your gynecologist check

your hormone levels. The surgery definitely does affect that part of us, but

there are solutions to that, including taking Testosterone. Don't give up!

I had to laugh when I thought about finding some creams to use. I guess if your

significant other helped with the application, that might solve PART of the

88 lbs, I exercise regularly and figure that I should be feeling pretty

sexy, but not so. When I was down to this weight before, I was pretty

There is a book called, " Tales from the Medicine Trail " , by Kilham.

He traveled all over the world looking for medicinal herbs. He states that

Maca is the herb for libido.

Page 184, he gives this experience. " Toweled off and rag-doll relaxed, we

had fortune smile upon us with our very first maca experience. At a small

bar at the spa, a woman was making blender drinks that consisted of cooked

maca, honey, vanilla extract, and a little quinoa, a nutritious Peruvian

grain. The drink was delicious, with a viscous consistency and a mildly

sweet, nutty flavor. I was so enamored with it that I downed the first tall

glass of it and had another. Maybe it was my imagination, but I swear that

the drink made me feel vigorous and full of energy. I walked outside and

did stretching exercises, working the kinks out of my body. I felt

magnificent.

On page 187 he says, " Of all the claims made for maca, those that have been

corroborated in the lab concern stamina and sexual function. In animal

experiments, rodents fed maca demonstrated increased energy and exhibited an

exponential increase in sexual activity as compared with animals that weren

t fed maca. Though no formal studies have been conducted on maca's use for

hormonal enhancement, some physicians claim success with maca for exactly

that purpose. "

He says on page 186, " How Much Maca Should You Take? A lot! " In the U.S.,

you can find maca in powder form, tablets, capsules, and liquids. But when

you take maca as a supplement, does it work the way it works for Peruvians

who eat it as food? It's mostly a matter of dosage. Peruvians who eat maca

as porridge, chew on the maca tubers, or consume blended maca drinks

typically to get 5 grams to perhaps 2 ounces or more per serving. But

supplement companies put only about 500 milligrams of ground, dried maca in

each capsule and recommend three to six capsules daily. Rare is the herb

that works in such small doses. I believe that to get any benefit from maca

you'd need to take a minimum of 5 grams-10 capsules of 500 milligrams each

- of powdered maca daily... In toxicity studies conducted in the U.S., maca

showed absolutely no toxicity and no adverse pharmacologic effects. So you

can be generous with the amounts of maca product you take. "

So, there you go. The libido herb. Anyone wanna experiment? Teehee

[Guest guest]

Had to put in my 2 cents. I am 47 had the mgb 3 1/2 years ago. I love

sex-can't get enough and have even had sex twice a day on a number of

occaisions. My husband also had the mgb 3 1/2 years ago- we both have a

better self image and more confidence more energy and the sex is great!

Because I feel better about my body I feel sexier and that helps. I have

several friends in their 40's and 50's that really enjoy sex at this time of

their life- I think if you used to want sex and see a difference in your

attitude or desire then you should look into it- if you never really cared

and haven't changed then that is fine too. I think as with anything if there

is a drastic change you should seek medical advice. I was actually going to

ask my doctor how my sex drive could increase so much because it definitely

has and I hope it stays this way for a long time to come. My husband and I

are pretty much on the same page which also helps.

Just my 2 cents.

Wow what a thread I openned!! I'm glad to see so many people chiming

in on this subject. Just to clarify, I am 33 and newly married. I

have had an amazing sex drive for most of my adult life. In the " O "

department, I have been truly blessed. Now though, I feel just about

dead from the waist down. That is quite a dramatic shift in only the

last couple of months. Yes, I exercise 3-5 times a week and am

starting to feel better about how I look. Even when I was 350+ lbs,

that didn't slow my sex drive much.

It is probably hormonal. I take zinc, so it isn't that. I've seen the

Dr's posting about testosterone. I've also heard that the estrogen

patch should not be taken without testosterone if you still have a

uterus. So I will go in and let my gyn know what is going on. Well,

at least I'm not losing my hair anymore, but I'm not happy about losing

my sexy time either....

--yes, I had the same experience. My libido just disappeared. I was

58 when I had the surgery but still sexually active, but following surgery,

it just died. Am divorced now because of it.

I'm curious, in the last few months, my libido has been nil. I've lost

88 lbs, I exercise regularly and figure that I should be feeling pretty

sexy, but not so. When I was down to this weight before, I was pretty

randy. Now, I don't feel much of a desire. Could this be hormonal?

Yes, I still need the patch to be allowed out on the street. Anyone

else with this issue? Thanks,

Quite some time ago I posted something on libido to the list. I

tried to access the post, but groups search function is not

working for me these days.

coconut-info/message/3187

So I am reposting what I had written below.

Alobar

You ready for dat?

I went to the little Vietnamese grocery store earlier

today to buy a whole case of coconut milk. The little old lady

shopkeeper, who barely speaks English held up her palm like a traffic

cop, halting me as I put the case on the checkout counter. She had an

impish smile on her face.

She asked me " You buy lotsa coconut milk with good fat!

Not watery stuff. You know danger? "

I must have looked quite perplexed. She giggled and said

" You not careful, you live 100 year. You ready for dat? "

I shook my head vigorously in affirmation & smiled at her.

She continued to warn me with mock sternness in her

voice, wagging her forefinger at me like I was a small child she was

scolding. " All this coconut milk! " she said. " You clothes no fit soon.

You get skinny & have to buy new clothes. You ready for dat? "

I nodded gravely & said I was ready for that.

She then said " You get like young man & get in girl

trouble like years ago. Much trouble! You ready for dat? "

This one took me by surprise. I had not heard of this

property of coconuts. I thought about it briefly, smiled & nodded my

head vigorously in affirmation as I said I was ready for that as well.

She smiled at me & said " I bet you are! " giggled at me & blushed.

As I was leaving the store, I asked her how she knows all

that. She looked at me with much pride & said " I from Thailand. From

country. We know the old ways city people forget. They get fat & dull

& die too soon. "

As she held the door open for me to get thru with my arms

filled with the case of coconut milk, she said " You be back soon. 1

box not last you long. For girl trouble you need come back here soon. "
