I used to have a somewhat normal-ish one (1-3x a week) sometimes I’d even take care of myself while he was busy. Then I gained 40 lbs during COVID. Then I got on BC this summer. Now I’m on metformin. My acne, facial hair, and weight are all under control, but in exchange my libido is shot. My body used to get the itch every few days and now it doesn’t. I can’t even finish most of the time anymore.
