Low libido
hey there everybody, im new to this, ive read a lot of your discussions but havent had time recently to add myself to this but now i have.
ive had a few problems in the past with my libido, im in my early 20's and i became sexually active at the age of 17, i had my first boyfriend and felt very comfortable around him. i was fine with my libido then, it was quite high, but since ive gotten a bit older (not a lot!) i have since lost my first boyfriend and had a couple since then and my libido is nothing like it used to be! ive recently got into a new relationship and i find it really hard to want sex. weve only had it a couple of times and im very different to how i used to be in bed.
my new partner is also in his early 20's and like most men want sex all the time, if only i felt like this! i feel very uncomfortable around him (its not him, i feel like he wont like my body)
and wen he goes near me i feel an automatic reaction to push him away. i do really like this guy and i dont want my low libido to make problems between us, he says it doesnt bother him and hes willing to wait. most of my friends have sex 3-4 times a week but because i feel so nervous and uncomfortable about my body i dont let him go near me apart wen ive had a couple to drink, thats the only time i feel confident about my body. im underweight for my age and i hate my body wen im naked. ive also suffered from a very painful kidney//urine infection, which i took antibiotics for but i wasnt told how it started, it could have been anything from too much alcohol, or i thought it might be sex?? im worried to have sex again as it might bring it back on. (i was also checked for sti - and me and my bf were both clear)
could being unconfident be the root to my problem? and i just wondered if any of you are like me, coz at the moment i feel like the only one! is there anythin that i can do to make my libido higher??
thanks for reading, any replies will be greatly appreciated!x
