I am 31 years old and I have been with my boyfriend for three years. We have a 20-month-old son and we have been living together for the past year. I love him with all my heart and I hope to marry him next year, but the problem that I am having is I find myself not sexually attracted to him like I was before.
I think that it has to do with the oral contraceptive that I am currently taking. Before I started taking it, I only needed to see him and I was turned on, but now I try everything not to be with him like that. I know it is frustrating for him as a man and I know that he won't cheat on me, but you never know. I don't want to lose him because of this. He is a very good man and I know that he really loves me.
Please, pastor, give me your advice on what you think about this situation and may God continue to bless you.

Dear K.B.,
I suggest that you go and see a sex therapist. You both are living together and your child is 20 months old. It is not unusual for a woman who just had a child to lose interest in sex for a few months. But 20 months is a very long time. I wonder if you have your interest elsewhere. Is it that you are not interested in sex at all or not interested in having sex with your man? A sex therapist should be able to help you. Please ask your child's father to accompany you.
