Wondering how to navigate low desire while dating
I have been single for three years now and just started dating again. I am embarrassed to post this, but I need advice on how others managed new relationships and not having any sexual desire. Thank you for any help.

Augh tell me about it!! Sex these days just feels like another thing on my to-do list, can't imagine wanting to get into it. 0 -
That’s a tough one... I’m with my husband, but this has still become a problem in the past few years. It’s not like I don’t love him anymore, it’s just that I can’t seem to get in the mood anymore. We’re thinking sex therapist in the future. But in the meantime, honesty and communication saved us a few arguments. I saw an NP here who said I might benefit from an ND appointment as well, maybe some supplement suggestions to help with this too. Did anyone else try that? 0 -
I totally get it—I’ve been there too. It’s hard figuring out new relationships when you’re not feeling that spark. Being open and honest with your partner about your libido might help them understand it’s not their fault. They might surprise you with their understanding. I haven’t mustered up the courage to do this myself yet, but faking it didn’t work before, so hoping to work up the courage to try brutal honesty next! 0 -
I admire your courage to start dating again! I’m in a similar boat and would love to hear what tips others have. How do you build a connection without the pressure of sexual desire? Any advice would be appreciated! 0 -
First of all, kudos to you for getting back out there! It’s natural to feel a bit embarrassed, but you’re not alone. Don’t hesitate to share your feelings with your new person; it can really strengthen your connection and a great way to know if they are a great guy or girl by their response. 0 -
Dating after three years? You’re braver than I am! 😂 0 -
