Increasing sex drive

[satu]

Hi,

I was wondering what is the best way to increase sex drive. I've tried damiana and horny goat and maca before and they have worked a little, but not enough. I used to have a good drive before BE. Could you please advise me how to get it back. Of course also tiredness and stress have affected it.

Thank you,
Satu

Hi Satu, just popping in !!!

I have a big problem with this. I saw a study that said big improvements were gained from fish oils (not sure why) together with use of "devices" to increase pelvic floor muscles. The latter possibly doesn't apply to you coz you are so young, but it is supposed to assist with blood flow to the whole area. I've started the fish oil (4 weeks) but no changes yet.

Damiana did nothing for me either. I thought Prog cream would help and it didn't.

Actually I gotta say that the thing that works for me is a glass of wine


Hope you are well

love

rebecca

Heya Satu-

Yeah, it just may not be possible to have the best of both worlds. For some women on BE, their drive is just affected. Maybe consider a progestinic source which would enable . Of course, this would prolly affect your BE. Since you're doing BO now, maybe just give your body time to adjust to. Perhaps even check to see if it will come back.

First of all WELCOME BACK HERE, WEN!!! We've been missing you heaps.

And then to the topic:

Rebecca & Wen, thank you for your replies.

I'm not sure if I want to take fish oils for this purpose. If yours helps clearly, Rebecca, then i might give it a try.

Maybe i could try using my progesterone cream more.

Wine wouldn't help as I don't drink at all.

The problem is not physical, but more in my head. I used to have a really good drive and get excited and think about sex a lot, but now my mind has kind of switched off (some of the time). As soon as we start things, my drive jumps in, but it's mostly the mental thinking i'm worried about. I think it's mostly also because of the stress from work and tiredness. As on our holidays the drive has been nicely back. Maybe i could do something about the tiredness.

Do you think, Wen, prog. cream affects my BE with BO?

Thank you girls.

Thanks for welcome back Satu-

O, shoot- if it's a mental thing..that's a whole other approach! Just adding progesterone haphazardly- yeah, you'll def slow down your BE progress. However, if you do some kinda of chi-checking to see if you're lacking in progesterone before you take it, you can be sure to affect your BE less.

So, really I would recommend that you try to separate sexual thoughts from work thoughts. Instead of fixating on the rush you used to have, reflect on memories you used to have to see what that does for you. Seems physically things are in order, just gotta figure a mental approach.

I have always had a low mental sex drive, but I just wanted to say that Wild Yam has done great things for me physically, so it helps to boost my mental drive knowing that when it happens, it's going to be great

I don't know why it has changed on BE, but it goes as soon as I stop taking them, so I know it is BE. I'd say the effects have a lot to do with what our hormones are like before BE.

Aaahh- Thanks, Jem for posting that.
So overstating the obvious then Satu- do you feel different while on BE breaks? Is it a BO thing?

Wen'

[satu]

No, there's no difference between herbs or BO and my previous drive didn't come back during the breaks either. It started going though when i started BE a 1.5 years ago. It's kind of "seasonal". Sometimes it's there, especially when i'm not tired and stressed, and sometimes it doesn't show up and it's very annoying. If there's anything you can think of to try, please let me know.

Thank you,
Satu

Hi,

I've just noticed now that i paid more attention that while i've been on a few days break from BO, my sex drive is better. If i added WY, would that affect my growth badly?

Thank you,
Satu

One way to boost your sex drive would be to go to a male strip club

[Wenonae]

If you're adding W/Y for your sex drive and you don't need it for BE per indications- it's possible to affect BE progress. I would instead just check to see about adding breaks in the regimen to keep the sex drive up since it's because of items you consume which cause the problem anyway. I wouldn't INCREASE the items to consume, but then again, I don't like swallowing a lotta pills.

Up to you.

Wen'

[satu]

Thank you Wen,

I actually checked if W/Y would increase my sex drive and i got a no so i won't add it. I'll check about the breaks. I'm actually planning to take a month's break after the next cycle. I haven't needed to take much tablets with BO. The feverfew and vitamin B6 are very rarely in my daily doses.

Kittygurl, my boyfriend is the only male i would ever want to see strip for me so if i need to see it, he'll do it. I don't think strip clubs are an answer for anything. Besides in my family they are considered very bad and unfair towards your partner. But thank you for your suggestion.

Hi,

Just a quick question. Do you think homeopathic testosterone would increase sex drive without increasing hair everywhere and all the other male things?

Thank you,

Good question- one I don't personally know for sure.
Recall Fawn had found a homeopathic one. She used it with progesterone and BO and grew breasts like mad.

Did you dowse to see if you can do anything towards improving your sex drive which wouldn't set back BE? With permissions, I indicate you can not do anything, but your body will naturally adjust.

Hang in there.

I think Wild Yam is very effective in promoting sex drive, at least for me, anyway. I heard that it also works in breast enlargement. For me, I've had to lay off WY cos it gets too much for me since I am single.
