I have zero sex drive to. I thought mine was due to hysterectomy. But it all makes since now since your the same way. If you find something that works please let me know. I'll do the same for you. I've never been told from my Dr. that anxiety would play a part in sex!!!!!!!!!

Sex is all about mood. If you are anxious and can't concentrate on the task at hand, of course you aren't going to be interested. Go out of the box...try new things, force yourself to be free. It may sound easier said than done, but I've done it...and my sex life couldn't be better.

for me, the key to sex was to be mindful. i had to focus on my partner, stay in the moment. anxiety will try to distract you, just bring yourself back to the moment at hand. funny that i had to "practice" sex, but no better homework.

also, many meds will interfere with your sex drive. if this is the case, definitely talk to your doctor.
