If you've lost the desire to have sex but have no idea why, your hormones could be out of whack. Seventy percent of low sex drive is hormonal, so ask your doc to check your levels, says Sara Gottfried, M.D., an ob-gyn and author of The New York Times bestseller The Hormone Cure. He or she can help you choose the best treatment options, which may include adjusting your dose if you're on the pill.
If it turns out it's not physical, use your gynecologist as a referral for a sex therapist, Watson suggests. "A good counselor will be sympathetic and empathetic to your pain, and be able to help you identify how you may be playing into the sexual problems in your relationship."
Either way, there are new libido-boosting options currently in research trials for women, including the drug Lybrido, recently written up in The New York Times, though these won't be available for at least three more years, and not all experts are fans.
"Women will want to take this pill," Watson says. "Women want to feel desire and some body sensation." They sometimes need to have sex before being in the mood for it, and then once they do, they're glad they did, she adds. So remember this snowball effect the next time he's horny and you're glued to Game of Thrones. After all, having sex is always better than watching it.
