? Re:Mans Sex Drive

[JulieBaby]

Sex Drive meaning: hpw many times they are wanting sex.

Is it normal for a man to want sex everyday (at times), and then suddenly only want/need to do it oce or twice a week?

I understand the everyday thing, as I was married to a horn dog who wanted sex all the time regardless of what I said :(

Because of my prior experience I worry when SOs sex drive lessens.

Does your partners drive sometimes diminsh to practically non existent status?

I know exactly how you feel, my ex was an everydayer and my dh's drive comes and goes. I have learned it's got pretty much nothing to do with me.

Don't let your self esteem be based on how often he wants it and don't think him not wanting it means he doesn't want you.

Yes it comes and goes..... teehee

Some weeks (or months) its very frequent, sometimes he could care less. THe more he is stressed out (with work and kids) the less he wants it.

Yes ITA with Drama its nothing to do with you (Its taken me 5 years to accept that!)

Sorry, I'm no help. DH can go months without doing the deed.

All things being equal, I think most men cannot get enough. However, I find that there are a great many things that I will pass up a roll in the hay for. Hunting, fishing, poker playing, baseball....and last night astronomy on a dark night all come to mind.

I know this will not be a popular POV, but I know many men who are just plain fed up with their partners and their game playing in the sex dept. Such men tend to want exactly one thing from women and otherwise don't want anything to do with them.

dh is one of the everyday guys, except when he actually gets it everyday. After a week or so he is sexed out and doesn't want it as often for a while. I don't think there is anything abnormal about a man with a varying sex drive, hell think of all the women whose sex drives wavier. I think it's quite normal, and a lot of it comes from stress, work, kids, life, all that.

DH has not asked for sex in months so I am no help either. XH was an every day man but we were in our 20s so I really can't compare. DH and I are sneaking up on 40 I have heard the sex drive of a man peaks at 40... or maybe its the woman.

I always heard it was 20 for the guy and 40 for the woman. I guess that's why older women want younger men. LOL

A friend of mine married a guy like this. His sex drive disappeared a couple years into marriage. he became kinda tired overall. He finally went to the doc and was Dx with a thyroid dysfunction. He is a horney guy 3 years later still taking his meds ;)

Prior to pregnancy with DD (she's now one)...I had the higher sex drive. DH had a very low sex drive. I wanted sex everyday and he had the stereotypical female excuses for not wanting sex: headache, tired, not in the mood, etc. Which was fine and I'm not female bashing here either. Just putting the excuses in there to show our opposite libidos.

From 32 weeks pregnant until now, my sex drive has crashed to super low (almost non-existent) levels. I now have the low drive and DH appears to have a higher sex drive.

He's not the typical man as far as wanting sex everyday or anything like that. We do compromise and try to give each other loving when needed.

Everyone (male and female) is different in their sex drives and needs.

My dh has a mellow sex drive, sometimes its annoying as I'm usually the one to get things going.

Things that have helped are 1. Making sure I feed him good ( he works nights and misses most dinners I cook) and 2. Waking him out of a dead sleep,lol or being up for him in the morning.
