Neither my DH nor I noticed a difference. I have the copper IUD, so no change in hormones/libido.

I have the Mirena and it's been awful for me, but I hear I'm not the norm.

My husband can feel the strings - he's complained about them a couple times (of course, he told me AFTER my one month check-up, so I didn't know to tell her to trim them, grrrr).

My sex drive is non-existent now that I'm on the Mirena. Not only do I never want to have sex, when we do have sex, I don't find it enjoyable anymore and if I do have an orgasm (and that's a BIG if because it's so much harder now), it's weak and pathetic.

But I'm not the norm!!! I think most people do just fine with an IUD!!

I had Skyla and it did not affect my sex drive. DH never said anything about feeling the string. I had other issues with it though - bleeds randomly and now that I had it removed my cycles were wonky for a couple of months after.

I have the mirena and DH can't feel the strings. My sex drive is not affected. I just got on / weeks ago though and have been bleeding ever since. My midwife said it should stop by a month

I had the Mirena and hated it. My husband could feel the strings, although they eventually softened up. Sex HURT with it...possibly it was post-baby stuff, but I had it removed and sex stopped hurting. It seems like most people have a good experience though!
