No,I mean its not normal to do no such a thing like that.You need to relax in this kind of relationship,because being unwell or stressed about just anything can get in a lot world of trouble.Let me tell you something women if you relax you would'nt be so tried.Sexual desire is good ok,it is nothing bad or anything like that and it doesn't die down ok cheer up.Find something fun to do,like chill at one of your friends house.Well make sure you are comfortable with him and agree on certain things with him that you might not know and probably learn something new honeybun.oh!keep your passion bye

I agree with deejuliet. Many things besides how the relationship is going can cause this lack or desire of sex. Were human, and both men and women have cycles.

As stated, if this goes on for over a month, maybe two, you may want to check in with your doctor.

Stress, anxiety will diminsh sex drive or interest.

x-kitycatlok-x agony auntYou cannot ever lose your sex drive, but it can lower considerably the longer you are with a person, as you know what's going to happen so it's no longer new and exciting. You should still find her sexually attractive, however, so if you are no longer doing this it could be a medical reason. Get checked out by a doctor if this keeps up.

Wishing you the best.

A female reader, deejuliet United States +, writes (4 April 2008):

deejuliet agony auntYour sex drive is not neccessarily a constant thing. Stress, age, being busy, being unwell, hormones fluctuating, being tired, can all contribute to a rise and fall of sexual desire. Also, when you are with someone new, it is all so very exciting and wonderful that your sex drive does engage at full throttle. After you are more used to each other and confortable with each other, some of the lust and passion die down. You should still find her sexually desirable, but maybe you just dont feel the need to have sex daily like you did in the beginning. This is all very normal. However, if you have lost all desire or if this lowered desire continues for an extended period of time you may want to get checked out by a doctor as there could be a medical reason that can be fixed. Good luck!
