'sigh' Sex talk - need advice

[Bluetree]

Yes Cheri,
you were right to come here. I think what everyone agrees is that its OK to talk about these things and enlist help in overcoming problems. And its vital to talk to your CBF and your PCP and OB-GYN.

I think you'll be very surprised at how understanding your CBF can be... men have a need to FIX things and he may feel useless/helpless if you don't present him with things to, well, fix. Once you make him aware of the problem I'm sure he'll be gung ho and extra supportive... esp. because he knows what the rewards are!

Your PCP and Ob-gyn are also essential places to go. Believe me, having lived with physicians for years, there isn't much they haven't seen or heard.
If it's physical, they probably have the solution.

Most of all, don't beat yourself up over this. As women, we often make things more emotional and complicated than they really are. Let people help you... not only for your own sake, but for theirs. People who care about you want to help... the most unselfish thing you can do is to let them.

Take care.

I know this may sound strange, but try watching a really sexy movie together in bed with some ice cream or other fun treat, like a little movie house for the intimately inclined. It can be a funny movie, or serious, or raunchy- but just be sure it's got some hot stuff going on in it one way or another. This can definitely inspire the mood for both of you, and it makes it like a fun "date" too.
