There's no point in trying to increase a woman's libido with the answer in a product. Women work differently than men. If she has low libido then find out WHY and work on that. The guys gave a few good suggestions in the thread above - ignore all that pertain to supplements and pay attention to the ones where you work on arousing her mind.

how do u work on arousing her mind like weve been together almost 2 years so like ive ran out of tricks?
that might be a little bit of a stretch. I've been with my GF for 3 years. She was on birth control last year and had tons of libido issues. Libido carries into everything. Libido is the entire spectrum of love, from holding hands, to having sex. When your libido is gone, you don't feel any sexual attraction, you just feel friendship, regardless of how hard you try to make things romantic, etc. I've seen so many women come off birth control and completely change. Too many guys get screwed over because they and their partners don't realize that birth control is likely to severely screw up everything in a relationship.

You find a way. NOTHING is impossible. Try TALKING to her about it. Start thinking outside the box. Use your imagination.
I can't speak for every woman. Hell, I'm NOT like most women in how my mind and body generally works and I don't use BC, so what would I know. However, you can't blame any one thing for the lack of something. You just work to find a solution. Besides, sex isn't everything, and IMO you don't need it for a relationship to be successful.

one word " alcohol"
lol, you gotta be careful with the "dosage" though. A girl has a fine line between buzzed/horny and passed out.

Scented oil back rubs open the flood gates at my house.
YES! And don't forget the feet! :firedevil:

FACT: Nothing turns my girlfriend on more than a nice oily back rub (or use lotion if you don't have any oil). Don't just massage, be sensual with that $h!t and don't be afraid to explore!

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Oral contraceptives (OCs) have been the preferred method of birth control because of their high rate of effectiveness. OC use, however, has been associated with women's sexual health complaints and androgen insufficiency. OC use is associated with a decrease of androgen ovarian synthesis and an increase in the production of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). There have been limited studies assessing SHBG values after discontinuation of OC use.
AIM: To retrospectively investigate SHBG levels before and after discontinuation of OC use.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Sex hormone-binding globulin values were compared at baseline, while on the OC, and well beyond the 7-day half-life of SHBG at 49-120 (mean 80) days and >120 (mean 196) days after discontinuation of OCs.
METHODS: A total of 124 premenopausal women with sexual health complaints for >6 months met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Three groups of women were defined: (i) "Continued-Users" (N = 62; mean age 32 years) had been on OCs for >6 months and continued taking them; (ii) "Discontinued-Users" (N = 39; mean age 33 years) had been on OCs for >6 months and discontinued them; and (iii) "Never-Users" (N = 23; mean age 36 years) had never taken OCs.
RESULTS: Sex hormone-binding globulin values in the "Continued-Users" were four times higher than those in the "Never-User" group (mean 157 +/- 13 nmol/L vs. 41 +/- 4 nmol/L; P < 0.0001). Despite a decrease in SHBG values after discontinuation of OC use, SHBG levels in "Discontinued-Users" remained elevated in comparison with "Never-Users" (N = 26; P < 0.0001 for >120 days).
CONCLUSION: In women with sexual dysfunction, SHBG changes in "Discontinued-Users" did not decrease to values consistent with "Never-Users." Long-term sexual, metabolic, and mental health consequences might result as a consequence of chronic SHBG elevation. Does prolonged exposure to the synthetic estrogens of OCs induce gene imprinting and increased gene expression of SHBG in the liver in some women? Prospective research is needed.

Love you to death Rosie, but I'm not totally sold on that. For instance, women do have a higher libido during ovulation - and that's due to a chemical / hormonal response rather than anything mental.
So I think there is something out there that could improve female libido - we just haven't found it yet.
-50mg DHEA/day
-L-Dopa (velvet bean extract)
-Maca teas or powder
Try it!!
You would be amazed at what DHEA can do.
Hell of a drug...
