my sex drive is too high for my boyfriend...
The problem is not him at all. I was wondering if there was any thing I could do to get my sex drive lower at all.
Re: my sex drive is too high for my boyfriend...
Does not compute.
Seriously what are we talking, several times a day? You could take care of things alone sometimes if he feels like your all over him too much. Unless we're talking daily or several times a day your sex drive is probably perfect for most partners out there. This may be an issue you need to think long and hard about concerning your relationship.

More backstory will help.
I don't know if you are living together with him or what but I think twice or three times a week would be great, if you are.
If you are currently living apart, I am guessing you and he are more or less weekend sex people. A guy is probably good for twice a night, tops -- so you're talking maybe what, sex potentially 6 times each weekend, starting with Friday night?
More backstory, if you will -- how often are you having sex right now? How long have you been seeing him?
We'll be able to give you a better answer with more backstory.
Sexual compatibility is crucial to successful long term romantic partnerships. That means you're both deriving genuine pleasure, you have comparable desires on frequency and 'style' (degree of exploration), and you communicate when your needs change! Did you just discover you're frustrated or have you known all along? This may just not be a sexually compatible guy for you. If so, and you stay, you'll be frustrated to some degree forever.
More masturbation may help you. I don't know. But I have (outspoken) friends who have sex 6-9 times a day. This seems insane to me and like they'd never get anything done, but they're perfectly happy. I am sure there are other couples who are just as happy to have have sex 1-2 times a week, or possibly even less. What matters isn't actual frequency, it's whether you both like that frequency.
If you're more of a 6-9 x /day girl, you may need a new man. *shrug*
