‘Horny’ mom, 42, reveals terrifying reason behind the sudden loss of her sex drive: ‘My partner took it personally’

A British mom says she was stunned to learn what was behind the sudden loss of her sex drive. 

Leanne Jones, 42, was once “horny,” admitting she loved spending hours in the bedroom with partner Adam, 40.

Several years ago, the former legal secretary suddenly found herself struggling to get aroused and wasn’t able to climax as usual.

“I went from being very highly sex driven to feeling like Grandpa Joe from ‘Willy Wonka,’” the mom-of-two, from South Wales in the United Kingdom, told Jam Press.

“My partner took it personally at first, as many would, and thought I didn’t love him anymore,” she continued. “No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get back my once horny self.”

Jones was also experiencing “crippling” fatigue and partial hearing loss.

Knowing something wasn’t quite right, she saw her doctor and was booked in for an MRI scan.

Shockingly, the Brit was diagnosed with two conditions; Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which affects the brain and spinal cord, and functional neurological disorder, which impacts how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body. 

“Because of the nerve damage to the brain and spine, the signals needed for arousal, sensation and orgasm are no longer there,” Jones explained. “It creates a disconnect. For us women, there’s issues with low sex drive, lack of sensation and lubrication and pain.”

While Jones’ partner was initially upset about lack of interest in sex, he is standing by her as she faces her health battle. 

“There have been many times my partner could’ve walked away, but he says we are a team,” Jones stated.“I spoke with an MS neurologist in front of him about the issues we were having in the bedroom and he understood that it’s not him, it’s my brain.” 

Jones is now an advocate for other people who are suffering MS, taking to TikTok to explain how the illness impacts sex drive. 

“I had a number of male sufferers message to thank me for discussing it as a few of them had lost partners over it,” the mom told Jam Press. “This is why it’s so important to raise awareness. It’s such a debilitating and lonely life.”

In addition to her lack of sex drive, Jones is suffering from problems with her speech and issues with her mobility and vision.

However, the mom insists she’s still able to enjoy her life.

“I want people to know that even though it feels like a prison sentence, it’s not,” she said.

“You’ve got to work with it, not against it, as there’s so much to live for.”
