Sexuality and the sleeve

Susan, if this is inappropriate, please remove. But I do have a question that I am sure others may have experienced and/or dealt with.

Without trying to sound like some horny toad guy that is having an ungodly amount of testosterone or Viagra running through his system, has anyone else noticed an increased libido with the loss of weight and a thinning of the body? I swear to goodness, I feel more like I did as teen the more weight I lose. I mean, things seem to work better and there is so much less getting in the way.

I know that I felt so unsexy and unworthy of physical encounters, but as I lose weight it feels like I have a lot of lost time to make up and stuff to do.

Once again, sorry if this is tacky, but it has been on my mind quite a bit lately.

I have also found that my sex drive increased since my weight loss. I saw on Oprah that for every 30 to 50 lbs of weight loss you gain 1" in penis size so in my case.........

All jokes aside I think that the weight loss has helped my physical ability to perform. Now if I can just find a partner......

I wish I was having an over abundance of libido hormones, I tell you I had figured that the more I lost and the increase in energy I have from physical activitiy that I would feel even more in the mood, but alas nope ...I swear it is like nothing going on down there...not interested nothing. My poor hubby is used to us being more intimate and now he can barely sit in the same room without salivating (it is cute) but he is really really enamored by my slimming shape and even though he always wanted me before it is like double whamy now and I just feel NOTHING in the way of desire...It has actually been getting me down I want to feel that again, jeesh I adore the man. Thank god my hubby is understanding and knows it is probably just a phase or hormonal thing and it will level out. GOD I HOPE IT DOES.

Any all natural things to try like herbs etc?

Singledom sucks!

You can talk to your Dr or gyn and they make a creme I believe out of estrogen that should help.
