No sex drive
(How to have good sex)

 

HTHGS: No sex drive (written by Dr. Erika Pluhar)

Ask Dr. Erika,
I am recently married, 21 yr old female, who has never been with anyone else but doesn't seem to have the desire for sex.  My husband and I are very frustrated.  I take Paxil cr 25mg for anxiety and Levora birth control.  He is enjoying sex but I am not.  Please help us.  It is annoying to not want sex at all when I have waited so long to do it with the person I love.  Thank you Md

Dear Md.
Thank you for your question. I hear that you are frustrated and commend you for writing in with your question. From the information you provided, my first thought is that your sexual desire has been affected by the medication you are taking. One of the side effects of Paxil is a decrease in sexual desire or arousal. Did you notice a change when you started taking Paxil? How would you describe your level of desire before starting? Before your marriage? One thing you might do is talk with your doctor and/or mental health care provider about the possibility of switching to a different medicine that doesn't have as many sexual side effects. I wish you the best. Sincerely, Dr. Erika Pluhar

  Our Philosophy sex is like dancing, it changes every time. It depends on culture, atmosphere and mood. Sometimes it is done alone, with a partner or in a group. It can be fast and hard or slow and soft. Sex is a combination of non-verbal negotiation and verbal cues: a scream, a twitch of the toes, or a flush of the face. There is no one 'right' way to move, only what feels good to all those involved.
