Hi all, I haven't had a chance to read through all posts, but it's partly relieving to read about others who have the same problem I do. I'm no psychologist, but my housemate is. In the DSM-IV there is an actual disorder called Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. It states that low sex drive is related to emotional distress, depressive disorders, weakness, pain, problems with body image, or concerns about survival. With the current economic climate, job stress could be a hugely contributing factor, and reason why this problem is becoming seemingly more apparent. It's even been addressed on local radio! I guess all I'm trying to offer is reasons to understand your partner.
