Not turned on at right time

Default profile image
I am 29 and married for 5+ years. My hubby and I have a 1 year old together. I normally have a really good sex drive, but lately I just am not turned on by my husband. The thought of having sex makes me tired and uninterested. however, before I go to sleep I think about sex a lot. I can totally turn myself on by just thinking about it and thinking about things I've done in the past. When I try to think about these things to help me get turned on for my husband, I find myself pushing away. I cannot seem tyo convince my body to want sex, even though I always dream about it and it's on my mind, and I need to get laid badly. I don't even remember the last time I had an orgasm. Porn is not for me, though the idea of making our own movies is exciting, though I'm not excited to do this with my husband. What's wrong with me? Any ideas?

Do you still love your husband or is it that you feel as though you are growing apart? Do you think your attitudes toward your husband and sex could have been affected by your pregnancy? It is great that you still have a strong sex drive, but I can see that you are really frustrated because you can't channel your energy to the person it is supposed to be going to. Have you found yourself masturbating a lot more since you stopped having sex with your husband, or are you just bottling up all this passion?

I feel loving and greatful towards my hubby. He supports us fully now, (I always used to work) and I think I'm feeling inadequate. I am not masterbating, as I get turned on and it's like I shut off in an instant. I don't think of anything differently, it's more like I try to arouse myself and everything's going fine, then the plug gets pulled. I just shut off. It's really frustrating. I wish I could find a way to channel my passion towards my husband, as I am pssionate about sex but can't seem to bring it on. I still find my husband really attractive. I've thought about going down on him and get all heated up, but when I start to do it, I turn off. I'm not sure if my husband can tell or not, though a couple of times he's asked me if I'm okay. I'm honest with him, telling him I just turned off, but it's frustrating.
