Help! No interest in sex...

I am a 22 year old female who is madly in love with her boyfriend but I have no desire to have sex. We have been partners for almost 2 years, but I am never aroused, we haven't had sex in probably 2 months. I have been on some medication recently as well as birth control and I am pretty sure that is what is causing all this! But seriously I am in my early twenties and I can't live like this forever. I get jealous of all those horny girls. Any tips?

Have you tried talking to your doctor about this? You really should. Please don't be shy about it. They have heard it all before. If you're not comfortable talking to your doctor, you need to find one that you are comfortable with. Your medications may be able to be changed. Maybe try a different birth control.

Welcome to the board cawaza.

Hormonal birth control is well known for causing libido problems. I'm not sure what other medications you are on, but anti-depressants also cause problems for many.

Talking with your doctor (either primary care or gyn) is the first step in getting those figured out. You don't have to go into great detail with them, just that you feel you do not have a healthy interest in sex and you feel your medications may be affecting your libido.
