The Drought - When did your libido take a vacation, and how did that feel in your daily life?
My husband and I did not have sex for almost 2 years!!
The Spark Moment - Spill it! What unexpected thing woke it up again? A conversation? A bold move?
Starting HRT was the catalyst for saving our marriage. So for the past 2 years, we have been enjoying each other again. We have been married for 20 years and feel like newlyweds again, and then some! We're taking the spiciest adventure of our life!
The Oh-YES Details - What actually worked? The tricks, the talks, the "why didn't I try this sooner?" moments that made all the difference.
I made appointments with a functional medicine doctor. She put us both on hormone therapy. Then we started having intimate conversations about our desires. This led to some crazy interesting adventures, such as Role-playing, using toys, going to adults only resorts and clubs, BDSM, and even exploring swinging.
The Strut-Your-Stuff Effect - How has getting your libido back changed you? New confidence? Better sleep? Secret smiles?
My confidence!! I feel sexy again. I feel desirable. I know am brave enough to bring up topics that I want to try.
The Girlfriend Advice - What would you tell your bestie if she confessed her libido had gone MIA?
I would share my story and experience, because I have been there! I would recommend finding a good doctor, sex therapist, sex educator, and toys like Oboo, meds like Vyleesi, and arousal products.
