My girlfriend and I have incredible sex with multiple orgasams, but latley her sex drive has decreased. The last few times that I have been with her we just hug and hold eachother. She recently started a new job and her daughter started school so she has been busy and stressed out. Do you think that with all the changes in her life that would cause her sex drive to decrease?

Yes, stress is probably the number one cause of a decreased sex drive.

Oh, hell, yeah. A girlfriend I had back some time ago went through that. She was taking some medical classes and working at the hospital at the same time, and was always stressed, gained weight, got more stressed about that, and we hardly ever had sex for several months there.

This isn't a permanent thing. If you had a good sex life before, then it'll return. If she seems to have too many things on her plate, you might offer to help with them or maybe encourage her to let some of them go.

Stress does cause a decreased sex drive. The worst thing you could do is make a big deal about it. Just spend some time cuddling and eventually the sex will come back

Yes, stress can play a major role in a decreased sex drive. I agree that you should give your girlfriend time, and her sex drive should return. It wouldn’t hurt to take her on a date and pamper her in the mean time. She is probably feeling overwhelmed with life and needs to know that you will be there for her no matter what. She might even feel insecure depending on how things are going at her new job. Along with stress, birth control, improper diet, lack of sleep, and lack of intimate contact (other than sex) can lead to reduced libido. Whatever you do-don't add to her stress by letting her know that you are not happy with her new reduced sex drive!

Yes stress does decrease a sex drive & being overly tired form a new job & a child can do it to. Why don't you get a sitter for her daughter & then run her a nice warm bubble bath with candles & some wine, then you bath her. See if that works.

Definitly, stress is the leading cause of decreased sex drive. Just give it some time and ask her if you can help out with anything to take some of the load off of her.

People react to stress differently, but in most cases sex drive decreases with new stress, and it just takes time to go back up. Eventually she will adapt to the changes, and things will be back to normal.

There's been some big changes in her life and a lot of stress - that'll kill sex drive. It sounds like she's anorexic, the hormonal changes and lack of nutrition would explain the lack of sex drive. She might also have been assaulted sexually and/or physically. You need to stop pressuring her for answers - she needs professional help with her multiple problems and your support. If you love her, you'll back off, and encourage her to seek counselling. It sounds like she needs it badly.

She is tired from being busy and the stress from her busy life makes her more tired if she's tired she is not going to be in the mood. Help her out around the house so that way she gets done with what needs to be done faster and she won't be as tired and might be in the mood more often.

definately, sex has to do with the mind so if she is stressed up about othe things sex might be least on the list, u need to help her get over the stress, and once in a while touch her unwarranted sensitive spts when she is not even expecting in a way that will bring her mind back to u. all the best
