Time to talk: I can't address the romantic issues beyond noting that committed lovers work hard to please each other, mood or not. Your natural androgens may be high & you'll need to add an rx such as topical Clindamycin and/or a retinoic acid derivative; if this fails a trial of the oral contraceptive pill if it's right for you may be next, or a systemic macrolide antibiotic. Good luck with both aspects!
