I (31/f) stopped taking my birth control right before I married my husband (38/m). My libido has SKYROCKETED to the point where I can’t sleep. I think it’s affected his self-esteem. /u/StrawberryGrapeJam Sex

This will probably sound like a first-world problem or something. Maybe this is a venting thing.

So I had been on birth control for 10 years before I married my husband 7 months ago, then stopped almost a year ago so we could “try” and stuff. I thought I was high-libido before, and he considered himself high-libido before we dated but couldn’t keep up with me.

Now I can’t stop thinking about sex to the point that it’s so distracting. Or, more like my vulva is so swollen that it makes me think of sex. Constantly. Having sex daily on top of multiple masturbation sessions doesn’t stop the issues.

I’ve told my husband, more with the intention of “oh your wife thinks you’re so sexy, she wants you all of the time!” But I think that backfired and he’s feeling less of a man.

I’m very happily married, very emotionally and sexually satisfied by him. I have no urge to cheat. He’s awesome in bed. He’s the only person I fantasize about. But he wishes he could do more and it breaks my heart. I’m sexually frustrated.

I’m wondering from other ladies if this constant horniness is from getting off of birth control. I can’t concentrate, I can’t sleep, and it’s miserable.

Any advice? Reassurance? How can I help my husband feel better? Is this “feeling” normal after quitting birth control? I think I need to back off from telling him how I’m constantly horny.
