    sex not pleasureable

    I am a 29 year old woman, I am currently in a relationship and have been with the same man for about 2 years. I have always enjoyed sex, but lately it is like I have no feeling while we are having sex.
    I've never had an std, and I get yearly exams. As far as I know I am in good health. There is no reason that this should be happening. I have noticed that during masterbation, it doesn't feel as good as normal either. I am still able to achieve an orgasm.
    I am wondering if this is mental, all in my head. Am I subconsciously causing the loss of pleasure?

    Is there any reason this could be happening?

    Are you on any medication including birth control pills?

      No prescription medication, only otc vitamins. I have been off birth control for about a year now.

        Are there any extra stressors in your life right now? Work or family related. That will really dampen sex. Also how is your relationship. Are there any issues that have recently popped up.

        Couple suggestions is to do keigals. That will strenghten your PC muscles. Another thing is eat healthy and work out, especially cardio workouts. You want to get the blood flowing.

        Good luck
