S/O if you could take a pill to get horny would you?

[sequins]

No. I feel like all the sex would cut down my gbcn time.

[stellas]

Absolutely. Especially if it were Viagra-like and I only had to take it when I wanted to have sex shortly thereafter.

I'd think a little harder about something I had to take daily.

[eddy]

Maybe

I would need to know the side effects.

[Eagles]

Nope.

[sharknado]

Yes

[LeggsBenedict]

ss: maybe?

[whitemerlot]

Yes

[LeggsBenedict]

I mean, I would take ecstasy.

[05heel]

Depends. I'm defending the FDA in one thread, but they still let a lot of BS through. I'm not opposed to the idea of it, but it doesn't exactly lend itself to good science in our current regulatory and healthcare environment.

[iamgrace]

Maybe? Idk.

[elleblue]

I don't think I would but I acknowledge that that's easy for me to say because I don't feel I suffer from a particular lack of desire.

[sewf]

Depends on the side effects. I already take BC, so obviously I'm ok with pills that mess with my hormones. If the libido pill could be taken in conjunction with the birth control pill, that would be fabulous, since it's the pill that fucked up my libido to begin with. It's kind of sad that the pill that allows me to have sex with a much lower risk of pregnancy also makes me not want sex. I guess it really works both ways!

[Deleted]

I'd like to say yes (and I did for the poll) but I'm not sure if I would actually pull the trigger at that very moment.

[mellimel19]

Absolutely. I want more sex, and I'll want it at weird random times of the day, but by the time H & I are together and have time for it, I am often just too tired.

[ijack]

Well it seems easier than figuring out what ADs not to take so I have a drive.
I hate the idea that I keep having to take different pills to keep everything in check, but I also don't know what else to do. I mean I know that my body isn't going to be the same as it was in the heyday of my hormones, but it's really, really frustrating having NO drive. Even on the first week that I started tapering off effexor my drive came back and it felt really nice to feel that again. I hate that it seems like I have to choose between feeling sane or feeling horny because frankly both suck for my marriage. And I get that my husband doesn't want to be married to someone that he doesn't have sex with, but I also don't know what else to do to make it come back

See, this is where I'm at. A lot of my lack of drive is probably due to medication (antidepressants, birth control) but the trial and error process of trying to find the medication or combo of meds that will A)let me have a sex drive while B) effectively combating my depression/preventing kids could literally take years. 6-8 weeks for each new med to take effect, plus adjustments to dosage, waiting to see if I go off the deep end, going back to the doctor to start all over.... this is why I have only half-heartedly tried up to this point. So he'll yes if they came out and said "here's a pill you can take with your other meds to give you a sex drive again" and PARTICULARLY if they said it would help to orgasm more easily? I would break all speed limits driving to the doctor for that shit.

Yes. This. So much. *hugs*

[Jermys]

I like drugs.

[elleblue]

{{{ijack}}}

And that is why the article, although making some valid points about the range of what actually constitutes normal libido, frustrated me. A pill isn't necessarily the first or only answer but to pretty much dismiss the need for it out of hand because women should instead work on feeling connected to their partner because that will surely solve any issues, feels shortsighted at best.

[pantsparty]

Maybe. I feel my H are plenty connected, he does a great job of making me feel beautiful, loved and appreciated, but it doesn't necessarily translate into that bonin' feeling.

[jane6672]

Well, when I was trying to get my rhythm back after going off of BC pill (which destroyed my drive, utterly), I did take horny goat weed. Ha.

[Deleted]

No.

[flex]

At the age I am now, yes, I would.

[eb777888]

No, I don't think I would.

I tried that too.  It didn't work, but it made us laugh a lot!

If it made having orgasm easier, hell yes.

Okay, that's a pill I would not only take, I'd buy stock.

This. And I don't even have a hard time orgasming, but, even more Os?  Yes, please.

[azurely]

With no side effects, yes.

BFing has completely zapped my already low sex drive. Feel sorry for my H.

[rupertpenny]

I'd have to take a pill to make me want to want to have sex before I signed up to take a pill that made me want to have sex.

[hi725]

Oh hell yes.

[isabel]

Probably not. H and I both acknowledge that our lack of sex stems from stressful jobs that we don't like. I think fixing that issue would help a ton. I'm not on any medication, so there's no impact there. I would rather try to sort out the external issues before taking pills. And we are both definitely trying to find new jobs.
