Advice

I've never had much of a drive to do any sexual activities past making out and now it's caught up with me. I consistently feel guilty about not wanting/ enjoying sex with my significant other. Any advice?

Unfortunately I don't have any advice but it's nice to see someone else feels this way. I have the same exact problem and always think something is wrong with me. My sisters and I have talked about sex and they're all very active and love it. I'm the only one who doesn't care much. I don't know how to fix it either.

A key component is a testosterone. As a woman, you don't have enough juice to grow a goatee or develop a burning desire for a Game Console; but the amount you do have plays a role in your sex drive, especially just before ovulation (when you're most likely to get pregnant). Every month at mid-cycle, women's brains signal their ovaries, which create 50 percent of the body's testosterone, to produce a surge of the lust-stimulating stuff.

Testosterone also initiates blood flow that causes your girly parts to become plump and sensitive. This leads to lubrication and, with any luck, one hell of an orgasm,

Sadly, not all of us are so lucky. (I am working on it though.... lol) Getting past old hang-ups, in the process of switching to a new med (with less chance of sexual side effects)..... Never occurred to me about testosterone levels for women.
