Question:
Me and my girl friend have been dating for 7 years. Sex was great up the last year. We used to have sex ever time we had the chance. When she got pregnant she seemed to lose all interest in sex, our child is now 2 years old and she still never wants to have sex. When I finally do get some I have to fight and argue to get it. Is she interested in other people and losing all sexual interst in me or what. What can i do to try to increase her sexual urges, I have tried doing everything i can think of, from candle light dinners, to nice romantic talks, and nothing seems to work.

Loss of desire for sex after pregnancy and childbirth is reported quite commonly but the problem usually resolves after a short while. In your case it seems to have persisted. A solution that has worked with some of my patients is to start physically strenuous exercises. If both of you do jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. regularly then you would notice the change in a couple of months. I would appreciate if you let me know the result after six months.
