    This may be a question for bees in their 40's: My husband has had a very high sex drive, usually twice a day, for the nearly two years that we have been together. Lately he seems to be avoiding sex. My only guess is that since I think that I may be starting early signs of pre-menopause and having nights sweats, this may be turning him off. I am really concerned about this and would like some help from other bees for advise or similar situations.

    Have you asked him about it? Has anything changed? Added stressors?

    @Old Hollywood:  It is not you, has he had a blood test lately? His testosterone levels may be low. is he taking any medication? Some medication side effects include a low libido.  I would tread lightly here, men are proud especially when it comes to intimacy. when you speak to him about this, try to describe how this makes you feel. hopefully you both can get to the bottom of this without anyone's feelings being hurt.

    Thank you for your advice, Birdi and relaxed. Nothing has changed that I can think of. As far as the night sweats situation, he doesn't want to cuddle while sleeping (which he always did before) because he said that my body feels too hot. I feel rejected and hurt.

    @Old Hollywood:  The night sweats might make your body feel hot to cuddle but this probably wouldn't deter him from sex, especially in the morning. It sounds like he has some issue that has more to do with him. Does he have any recent health issues?
