Husbands high sex drive

[tuliprose90]

My husband has a high sex drive, always has, and it's forever causing problems between us.
We've been together 25 years and have teenage children.
I enjoy sex bit am happy with it once or maybe twice a week, I work full time, run the home etc.
He wants it every night and gets moody when he doesn't get it. I have to admit I do fake tiredness and headaches etc to get out of it. I feel quite pressured to do it to keep the peace which is making me resent him.
Is this normal? Am I unreasonable just wanting it a couple of times a week?

The moodiness would drive me nuts. We only really manage it once a week

You need to have a discussion and meet somewhere in the middle with number of times a week and even which days.. Then he knows when he is getting it and when he isn't. If he is constantly being rejected it nibbles away at you. Mismatched sex drives can be marriage ending so i suggest you have the discussion otherwise he might look elsewhere if he isn't already.

I'd do it every night if she'd let me but not a single chance of that happening, I have a much higher sex drive so tend to have some lone time to see my through. We've been together nearly 15yrs, 3 girls 12, 9 & 3. She's not body confident but I tell her she's got a yummy mummy body to be proud off, still the same person i fell in love with 15yrs ago to me her body is perfection, lumps bumps the lot which I call curves.

I'd die if my partner told me I was a yummy mummy it's not very flattering at all ..

Tiger,,are you a yummy daddy,,and do you have lumps and bumps, and the dreaded paunch.. not that it matters of course ha ha. I am pleased that you have a high sex drive though,, as lots of men are super duds.

I had a man friend many years ago, and he had a very high sex drive, well he said he did, but he was just no good at the performing arts,so had to give him the push after a short time.

I’m like your DH and he sounds a bit like you. We compromised to 3 or 4 times a week

I'm oil paint or super stud. Just the average guy that likes sex

Sorry....NO oil painting

Getting moody and sully is unattractive. You need to sit down and talk to him, tell him that moodiness and pestering is making things worse.

Then you need to compromise. In so much as he needs to move towards your sex drive. Twice a week sounds fine to me. Perhaps with some non-sexual intimate time thrown in too? Stroking and caressing.

Me and my DW have mismatched sex drives and we do just fine. Couple of times a week works for both of us, but there's also plenty of comforting non-sexual content and I sure as hell don't sulk or pester if she says she's not in the mood. Ugh. If I'm horny and she's not in any kind of mood then I'm grown up enough to sort myself out.

What’s wrong with once or twice a week?! I know there’s no ‘normal’, but I don’t think you could call that abnormal!
