dating relationships, 50% of women and 26% of men reported consenting to study showing that women with high sexual desire are more likely to initiate sex .

Having a low sex drive is a normal part of life, regardless of your gender identity or relationship status. Everything can affect our desire to bang, from our hormones and mental health to whether we’re taking medication. This couldn’t be more wrong. Here, women who have the higher sex drive in their relationships explain how they deal with a partner who isn’t as horny as them.

It’s a tough spot. The worst part is I have always had the higher sex drive in all my relationships, and it hurts the same every time. Now I’m married and we were a great match at first, but after I got pregnant he lost interest and never gained it back. I’m still trying to figure out how to deal. Then I was put on medication and mine has face-planted so now we’re both at about the same level. The good thing about this though is now I fully understand what he has dealt with and I’m more understanding.

We try to maintain intimacy in other ways lots of touching, cuddles, affirmation words and make the effort together to have sex when we’re both feeling it. It sucks not having the drive I had at 25, but I’m happier than I’ve ever been with a partner.
