Hey there! I’m (25F) seeking advice on how to enjoy sex more
I am in a relationship with my boyfriend (30M) and am struggling on keeping an active sex life. We have been together for 14 months.
For done background, I have been on SSRIs and antipsychotics since I was 19. Ever since I started, each medication has tanked my libido until it is essentially nonexistent. It is incredibly difficult to feel anything and orgasm because actions feel numb. I often describe it to licking my elbow. Additionally, at 19, I was raped. Ever since then I’ve related sex as an act you do when someone wants something from you.
I am in therapy but my therapist isn’t incredibly helpful in this area. There are no sex therapists near me that accept my insurance. I’m at a loss of what to do because I don’t want to live this way. My boyfriend is aware of these struggles and is also at a loss.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I just want to improve and have a normal sex life.
Thank you!
