Contraceptive injection has killed my girlfriend’s sex drive and we are both frustrated
AFTER my girlfriend had the contraceptive injection, her sex drive disappeared.
She doesn’t want it as much as she used to, and when she does she doesn’t get much from it.

We both find it frustrating.
She is 18, I am 19 and we have been together for 18 months.
Her mother said I could move into their home for lockdown.
I bought her sexy underwear but that made no difference.
I don’t know what else to try.
I still love her and I know this gets to her as well, but she can’t seem to overcome her lack of interest.
DEIDRE SAYS: She should ask her doctor about alternative effective contraception but there could be other reasons why your girlfriend is less keen on sex.
Fancy underwear won’t do the trick.
That is more likely to be exciting for you than for her.
Ask her how she feels about your relationship and the way you have sex.
It might not have been as great for her as it was for you.
