Ladies, what times is your libido highest (or lowest)?
Do you notice any differences by time of month, time of day, time of life, etc?
Thanks. 
The day just before and the two first days of my period are when my libido is higher. There is another uptick which I guess must be ovulation. And I’m a morning person, for this as for everything else.
It’s the highest a day or two before my period, making it one of my most reliable PMS symptoms. Just after ovulation would make more sense from a biological-reproductive standpoint, but it’s not the case with many of us.
I’m an exception - my libido strongly increases about mid-cycle (right about the same time as ovulation), which always made sense to me biologically.
Me too. I want it twice daily when I’m ovulating.
I’m getting closer to “that age” and my libido is all over the place. I think the fruity hormone levels are to blame.
As soon as my period is over. I chalk it up to feeling normal again, feeling like I got my body back.
Just before and *during *my period is the highest for me. I take it as another of my body’s signals that I shouldn’t breed anymore! 
Actually, just before ovulation would be the most advantageous for conception.
I actually haven’t ovulated much in my life, but I’m definitely noticing that around that time my libido really kicks in. I sit around thinking, “Damn, is this what guys feel like all the time? How do they get anything accomplished?”
The week before ovulation it goes crazy. As soon as ovulation occurs it drops off. Around my period the last thing I’m thinking about is sex.
SOP can be hot!! I mean I wouldn’t want it like that all the time but once a month sounds about right.
I never turn down sex. 
I’m usually pretty horny, but around the time I ovulate I’m basically obsessed. I think that’s what it must be like to be a teenage boy. I feel sorry for them.
When I was dating, early in any relationship, I was always aching for it. Something’s changed and it’s just not a priority anymore. I can usually rally, but I rarely initiate. (Poor mr. lust…)
I can generally count on my libido kicking in at least a little just before my period, though
Somewhat off topic: I’m lucky in that I occasionally have intensely orgasmic dreams. It tends to be multiple months between episodes, but when they hit, there can be a couple in a night, sometimes multiple nights. Does a body good.
I’m the same way. I blame my dysfunctional hormones.
When I was on birth control, it was even worse – I thought about sex all day, every day, old people, young people, everybody in between – which is one of the reasons I went off of it, because I couldn’t handle the constant distraction. (That, and PMS-like rage every day, x10 during actual PMS.) Hence, my blame on my hormones.
Me too! And not at all around my period.
Huh. It appears I, and most of the guys I know, are constantly ovulating. Apparently.
Whenever I flip it on.
Although I am almost at the end of menopause I seem to have the libido of a teenager.
I’m on the Pill. I’m ready for sex any time, but I can’t orgasm before breakfast. It’s weird. We’ll still have morning sex though.
