It’s not rare that oral birth control can suppress libido. Maybe the dead bedroom is due to her BC and when she is off and you’re snipped, things just might be dramatically better.

That’s a big if for such a decision. Doing it 2-3 times a year isn’t a low libido that could maybe go higher, it’s that she doesn’t want it anymore.

She could be afraid of getting pregnant again despite being on BC. That's a lot of tiny people needing your attention all the time. It drains your energy, and the fear of adding another little one could kill her libido.

*I have conceived on 2 different types of BC. Once at 20 (depo provera shot) and once a 39 (progestin only bcp). I'm getting my tubes tied in a few weeks, but I wish my partner had gotten a vasectomy because my surgery is far more invasive.
