Q: Too High of Libido
asked by: wildwings on May 2nd, 2007

My girlfriend and I(both 18 years old) have been going out for more than a year and our sex life has basically gone to zero. We started off having sex 5 times a week, slowly decreased to 2-3 times a week, to one time a week, and now we probably have sex two or three times a month(and these are usually in like a one-week period). Our relationship is still going fine, but there is no way the absence of sex is helping us. I've tried basically everything, and I always get turned down. I practically have to rape her(not literally) to get sex. And I know it's not because it doesn't feel good for her Laughing I respect her right to say no, but seriously... She never even wants to fool around or even just make out. And sometimes after I get turned I can't help but get in a pissy mood for a little while, it's like she's lost attraction to me or something.

So I have basically came to the conclusion after 3 months of sexual frustration that I just have to learn not to want it as much as I normally do.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the long post..

Thanks!

Actually no.

What you need to do is talk to her about this. While 3-4 times a month is by no means a bad amount, sex should be a balance between you and her. If you want more, then I don't see why you shouldn't have more. The thing is, the lessening sex is probably due to a loss of libido on her part... and it may make her sad, she may be frustrated about it. For all we know, she's one of the girls posting on the women's health forum saying "I've lost my libido!" I don't mean that literally, but you get my point I hope.

Thank you for the response!

The thing is is that I HAVE talked to her about.. more than once. And after we talk about it, we do increase our sexual activity for about a week(like mentioned in the first post). But then after that week of increased sex, it goes right back down to zero.

I think I just need to accept the fact that her libido is down from before and get used to it either until it goes back up, or just get used to it period.. Sex isn't the only good part about a relationship! But it is a definite plus! (plus it makes you feel more connected in an emotional and physical way, which is was seems to be bothering me the most, we've lost our physical connection.. and it stinks!)

Thanks!

are you certain she hasn't lost interest in you and the relationship? Could she be getting it somewhere else?

that is a possibility,but I am the same way as her.I only have sex maybe once or twice a week and it might not be because she is getting it somewhere else or she is not attracted to you anymore,but when your with someone for so long,it gets old and you have to kick it up a notch or two.how about not asking her for sex or trying so hard.Have fun with it and just do foreplay for a while.mess around with her through out the day,get her thinking dirty thoughts or something.it works for me lol

It sounds like I am kind of like you, Melissa. In the very beginning of the relationship, I want sex all of the time. Then I taper off to maybe once a week, if that.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I really hope that she isn't getting her fulfillment from somewhere else.. I'm about 99.99% sure that she isn't, shes very loyal and is very much in love with me!

I would LOVE just doing the foreplay and not even ending up having sex, but that's the thing, she doesn't even want to do anything physical towards each other.. and when I try to get something started I get my hand pushed away or I get a "no, not right now" in a disgusted voice.. I wish I could get her riled up and wanting it, but I just can't! It doesn't work anymore! I hope it's not that I don't have "game" anymore! Rolling Eyes

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the input!

I think next time I actually do get her wanting it, I'm going to turn her down Twisted Evil hehe, thats just mean, as I well know, but I think it might just work!

hah Wink SOunds like a good plan, unless of course she's put a lot of effort into it and it seems to be something special.

What I would do is start giving her little kisses, no matter where you are. Just little things. DOn't bother trying to "make out", just give her a peck on her cheek, neck, ear, etc. Touch her; gentle touches anywhere, even her breasts, but don't make it into anything. These are subtle ways you can get her attention without her resisting, because they're so fleeting, what's she going to do? She might not even know exactly what you're doing. But things like this may get her turned on throughout the day.

maybe she thinks you are pestering her too much and you are always trying to get into her pants! maybe you could give her physical attention but without trying to lead it into sex. little kisses or stroking; on her arm, on the side of her neck, on her tummy... whatever but not being too invasive or too in-her-face. make it gentle and loving and not neccessarily sexual. rather than trying to convince her to have sex, let her come round to the idea in her own time Smile eiri basically said it, i think. hope it goes well for ya.
