How would you feel if your partner said that she hasn’t felt sexual desire despite you both having sex in the past?

Question

So basically the title, my partner and I have had a dead bedroom for awhile but ocassionally had sex. She recently told me that she realized her desire for sex was really to have her libido back and not actually for sex. Like a “I miss having this feeling” vs “I have the feeling”.

She’s been my first everything so it just feels weird that it all happened but she never truly wanted it (but consented to it). How would y’all feel if this happened to you?

She’s experiencing a sexual disorder caused by medication so that’s not really going to work haha! But thank you for replying :D

Is it anti depressants?

Yes, SSRIs (and birth control) but she’s gone off of them but is now experiencing PSSD. It’s been a whole trip ^^’

I had this. Got onto wellbutrin which is not an SSRI and the only one proven to have no impact on libdo. Could also ask doc for small dose of topical testosterone gel.

Yeeah, I've been on the other side of that. It's not super fun for anyone. I adjusted my hormone therapy and it definitely helped, I was basically asexual for a while. Hope you two make it work.
