    Are there any natural sex drive enhancers??

    My boyfriend and I are completely in love and adore each other. We've been together for 2 years and 8 months and you can still say we haven't left the "honeymoon" stage. We have no drama, great communication skills with each other, makes me feel sexy, go on regular date nights and outings, have a healthy and active life style, our own successful business, house, etc. The problem? I have NO sex drive. He has an extremely high sex drive. 99.9% of the time, it's him initiating the sex. The other .1% of the time, I do just out of guilt! He is HOT and sexy, though, so it's not like I'm turned off by him at all. I just can't seem to get my sex drive going. It ends up feeling really good, but I just wish I WANTED it more.

    Are there any natural sex drive enhancers for women?? Pills, vitamins, foods..anything I could be doing to help myself?

    He has only gotten frustrated with me once during our entire relationship and he apologized immediately after. But I feel like I am the one with the problem and getting so fed up with myself.

    Pills nope. Vitamins nope. Foods yes if you buy into the aphrodisiac phenomenon. If there was something available it would likely be under a prescription so that means the so-called guaranteed sex drive enhancers online will be fakes and placebos.
    There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.

      What is aphrodisiac phenomenon? Yeah, I don't buy in to the sex drive enhancers offers online or anything like that. That's why I was asking about natural enhancers or something that could at least help get in to the mood.

      And typo, my boyfriend and I have been together 1 year and 8 months, not 2 years and 8 months! Whoops!

        Money and power are the traditional aphrodisiacs. Since the brain is the greatest sex organ, these quantities excite parts of the brain due to chemical releases, just like good sex excites parts of the brain due to chemical releases and distinctions seem a little blurred at times.

        Do you climax strongly and a lot or often? Again brain chemistry is involved. This would make good sex an aphrodisiac and have an addictive quality that will play strongest to those who get addicted easily.

          This is probably not the kind of answer you're after, but regular exercise is probably the best sex drive enhancer.

          Exercise will increase the body's natural testosterone production, which is responsible for increased drive. Additionally, it improves one's self image and confidence, both of which are also directly linked to sex drive.

          It's not a pill or potion, nor is it fast. But it is very effective.

            I agree about the exercise.

            My boyfriend is taking Ashwangandha for sleeping and apparently it's supposed to help with sex drive as well. He's been taking it for a couple of weeks and we went from having sex about once every two or so weeks to about 4-5 times a week. So something is working and that's the only thing that has changed.

              A good diet and multivitamin can increase energy and sex drive. There are also a whole lot of over the counter sex aids. Many of which are in pill form. All the ones that work for men can help women. I've taken black pearl and orexis. There are various herbal formulas that use things like horny goat weed. Some just help increase blood flow. Go check out any site that sells supplements and they often have an entire section dedicated to sex aids. Whether they do much for you is hit or miss though and some people can't handle the stimulants used in a lot of them so research and be cautious if you have any health problems or are overly sensitive to things like energy drinks and caffeine. I no longer take any of those things because I've had some problems with tachycardia (high heart rate). I was feeling weird earlier today from an herbal energy drink.

                    Maybe his sex drive increased once he started getting enough sleep!
