I am 23 and I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years. Lately my sex drive have been going down lower and lower. I know my weight is a contributor, along with stress probably. I just don't feel sexy anymore. I've always been a little overweight but I've gained more lately. Are there any other women that have this problem and have gotten their inner sexy back? Any suggestions?

Well, you might think about getting your hair done in a drastically different way, and getting a manicure and pedicure or something (and if you're brave, you could get any number of things waxed).  Then go get some awesome lingerie.  Good grooming always, always makes me feel better.  Good luck!

Thanx Sarah, I've definitely been slacking in the self pampering area which I love and miss. I had been thinking about a drastic change with my hair, I will defenitely try to make it to the hair shop.Smile

I'm sure everyone goes through phases like this.

I felt like this a bit over a year ago. It was because of the pill I took. i stopped taking it for 2 months and ping! it was back.

Spoil yourself, but at the same time look at the reason you feel this way, maybe you body is trying to tell you something. While pampering will make you look nice, it might not tackle the underlying issue. then again, it could be because you haven't done much pampering lately, I start to feel unattractive if I slack on my beauty stuff.

My sex drive is charged by endorphines which you get by working out. Prior to having my son, I worked out a lot, almost everyday and I felt great. Plus I weighed 60 lbs less which made it more comfortable.

Try working out at leat 3 days a week and see if that works for you!

I know exactly how you feel.  After I had my son I definitely did not feel sexy and my husband didn't help the situation.  Once I started losing weight I started feeling better but for some reason still don't have the sex drive that I used to have.  I have discovered it's because of the way I look at myself and the fact that I don't get the right kind of compliments from the husband.  I'm not sure how supportive your bf is with the weight loss but that could be part of it.  Plus the other part could be if he gained weight and you are losing you might feel like maybe he should be doing the same since you are making that effort.  Just a thought.
