How do you deal with different sex drives?

Question

Answer

so the options are, argue or submit/demand..
what happened to compromise and understanding

Answer

Educate each other and communicate. 
Most people receive a very poor education about how sexual desire and response actually works. 
Reading the book Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski changes my life when I read it years ago.

Answer

Not a single one of those options are healthy. You have a conversation. No one has sex they don’t want. Period. No if ands or buts. Now you can talk and try to find a way to compromise, but no one should ever have sex if they don’t want to. Arguing will not help. TALK. Communicate like adults. Whoever has the higher sex drive can either accept that they won’t have sex as often as they like and find ways to get off alone, or they can leave.

Answer

You have a discussion like adults in an adult relationship and you talk about how you can compromise.

Answer

I voted for other. My sex drive has always been higher than my husband's. There have been times where I have started arguments because my needs are not met,  pointless because it doest increase his sex drive and then we end up mad at each other for a few days. I've finally just accepted things for what they are and when I'm in the mood and hes not I just pleasure myself. Im not sure how things would play out if it were the other way around and he was wanting it more than me...

Answer

Compromise and deal with it like adults...

Answer

Compromise??????

Answer

I have a high sex drive but my partner not so much. Its become i thing i just say “wanna fuck today” and let him take the lead if he wants too. 
If he doesnt then i have a very fun little toy which satisfies my needs.
Sometimes my partner will surprise me or ill surprise him with sex. Other times well say “let me shower and well do it later” its all about compromise ha

Answer

Communicate like adults?

Answer

So I’ve had problems with my sex drive being higher than my bfs too.. and like another commenter said I used to start arguments about it but it was pointless cause it still didn’t make him want to have sex. I told him about my needs and he’s actually trying to compromise now by taking a supplement that increases his drive.. anyway I suppose it’s been helping cause we’re starting to have more than before.. I believe communication is key and if you just talk it out maybe there’s an agreement that can be made..
