sex drive differences

Re: sex drive differences

  • What's a cause of consternation is the fact he's having erectile problems.

    He needs to see a doc. He has to have the doc rule out physical issues: something cardiac, hormone deficiency, possible start of diabetes or a thyroid condition.

    All of these health problems can first present themselves in the form of erectile problems. The penis is the dipstick to a man's overall health.

    It could also be psychological -- a sex therapist can rectify the problem.

    This is fixable. GL.
  • I do generally have a higher sex drive than my H. He has diabetes, which causes him to get tired more easily, and even if he still WANTS to have sex when he is tired, he convinces himself that he won't be able to do it. He has some performance anxiety issues that we are trying to work on. So yes, we have had many conversations about the differences in sex drive, and we did have a lot of arguments about it, but now we have talked about it more and it isn't as big of a problem as it used to be. It seems like it is a step in the right direction that your H will try to pleasure you even when he isn't in the mood or whatever, that's what my H does.

  • My husband's a little older than me so some times I'll be up for sex and he won't but I just go ahead and initiate sex anyway and if we have sex it's great but if not it's okay, too.

     Also, with the "age" thing he doesn't stay hard every time we have sex.  When I feel he's starting to lose his erection during sex I give him a "hand".  I take some lube and warm it up by rubbing it in my hands and then I rub him and I kiss his lips and it usually helps get him going again.
