“I have been in a relationship for two years now, and it has been mostly wonderful up until this point. A few months ago, I started to lose my sex drive. I’m still attracted to my partner, but I just don’t feel like having sex—ever. We thought it was just a phase, but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better, and it’s really starting to take a toll on our relationship. My partner doesn’t feel attractive, and I feel really terrible. Can someone at SCRS help me figure out what is causing my loss of sex drive so that I can try to save our relationship?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- Help you figure out what environmental, medical, or psychological issues may be contributing to your lack of libido
- Give you a safe space in which to explore if there are any aspects of the relationship that are contributing to the problem
- Offer to meet with you both as a couple to support you as you struggle with this issue
