    How do you deal with a situation where you're in a committed relationship but one of you (me) has a much higher sex drive than your partner?
    We've talked and there's nothing wrong ... He just doesn't want it quite as often as I do.
    Sometimes masturbation can't quite cut it and I'm starting to feel a bit 'neglected'....

    How off are your sex drives? How often do you want it, and how often does he?

    My first wife and I had this from time to time (it was a long time ago btw :) ).

    We'd "accomodate" each other.

    For example, when I "needed it" a lot, and she didn't "want it" much, we'd do "quickies" sometimes, or she would go down on me.

    For her, if I wasn't "in the mood" (meaning, difficult to "keep it up"), I'd eat her for a long time.

    For us, back then, that helped keep things in balance.

    I run into this a lot with my current girlfriend. I have a high sex drive and have always had a higher sex drive than all my girlfriends but I did get spoiled by one who would let me have sex 2-3 times a day on a regular basis.

    My current girlfriend really only wants sex like 3 times a week but we've compromised and made it to uhhh... maybe anywhere from 5-10 times a week.

    I think both people need to compromise a bit but the real problem I have is that when it's really imbalanced like I could have sex 3 times a day (21 times a week) and she only wants it like 3 times a week it ends up being that I am always the one initiating because she is constantly just looking for a break. I find this can have a long term negative effect so every once in a while I have to just hold off completely for a few days to give her the chance to initiate. I think it keeps things more balanced doing that.

    There could be a lot of things that could improve his sex drive but mostly the problem is yours unfortunately. My wife and I have been going through the same thing for about 15 years. I always want it more than she does. She has initiated about 5 times in that last 15 years. She says me "constantly" asking makes her want it less.

    Is your husband heavy, or really overweight by any chance?

    I agree with Nostromo... my gf and I are pretty much in synch fortunately, we both want it a couple times a day, but if one of us doesn't for some reason the other is always willing to "service" the other one way or another. ..

    if your partner isn't then that's just plain old selfishness and and I'd suggest you find someone who cares more about your needs.
    ... I am also a bit curious if he is overweight?

    Me and my partner both enjoy sex, although it's difficult sometimes to find the time: we're both really busy with school and he's usually hanging out with his roommate. But we find the time... More is always better though!

    do it the old fashioned way, cook him a big meal

    fetch his slippers, his pipe, rub his shoulders whilst he watches the sport. And then, when you finally take it to the bedroom, and he is so comfortably and ready

    he'll fault right asleep. Now, go fuck his friend.
