Low sexual drive

by Lyn
(MA)

I am newly curious about whether my extremely low sex drive could be related to a sensory integration issue. Any thoughts?

I Think it does, my girlfriend has a low sex drive with the disorder ,but we still think its maybe a combined package (the pill, the syndrome, some passed experiences), she stopped the hormone contraceptive and changed it to the coil without hormones, but it will take 6 months to a year to flush the body out. So we will see, at the same time we are trying hypnotherapy seeing some results there but to early to tell, Hope this helps

I am wondering if I have SPD and if it can cause severe pain during sex? Sometimes, I feel like my husband is ripping me apart...even kissing is painful at times. I want to have sex and have a drive, but the pain causes me to react on the drive....

I have also felt that my low sex drive has something to do with my sensory issues. I have trouble with tactile issues in a big way. I also have with smells. It makes it extremely hard to get close to someone, especially when my stress level is high, which is all the time considering I work full time (self-employed) and have 3 kids who fight all the time, and a husband who yells a lot and is often very demanding.

I have found that doing some relaxation techniques often helps. I have also discovered that glass of wine helps when the relaxation techniques don't work. It is also very romantic. :) My husband tries to be helpful by using mouthwash and shaving, but sometimes there is just not enough time for that (life is sometimes unpredictable when you have kids).

Find something that makes it easier to deal with the sensory issues you deal with. You could try a massage, candles, a warm bath or shower... Use your imagination and good luck!
