What does a high sex drive feel like?
My dp says he has a really high sex drive but I just don't get it as clearly I don't. He can get irritable if he doesn't have regular sex and says he can't help it!
I never have a strong urge to have sex. I have to be completely in the mood and that means the build up needs a bit of effort. I have never had the urge to just jump on someone without a bit of build up.
Does it feel different as I am trying to understand how he feels when I don't want to. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't push it but will always have a go and would do it 2 times a day if I was in the mood.
To be honest once every couple of weeks would do me. I have never put sex at the top of my priority list. It's not that I don't enjoy it, I do but just don't feel a need to do it all of the time!
I have had spells where I have gone over a year without when single and it hasn't overly bothered me.
I can see it coming between us if this mismatch continues.
Is it hard to live with when you have a high sex drive and your partner doesn't?
