I hope you guys won't laugh at my question, but I find it very serious. First of all, do you ever think that you are having too much sex? I want and can have sex any time of the day, but my husband says that I am not "normal" - that my sex drive is not normal when I want it EVERY day. He always teases me about it, and now I started thinking that something is wrong with me because I want it so much...

Thanks JoeandFamily and mjb68. Actually I am taking a sex education class with my husband ( in college ) and there is going to be a whole chapter about sex drive. So I hope that the "professor" says that there is "nothing wrong with me" so I can prove it to my husband.

OMG. There is something wrong with you.

Just kidding. Of course there's nothing wrong with wanting nay-nay once a day. Or once a week. Or twice a month. Or doubling up on weekends but going the week without. EVERYBODY'S sexual style is different.

What's really more wrong here, is feeling you need your professor to confirm this. What do you feel that would do for your relationship? Will your boyfriend say, "Oh, I didn't realize that," and suddenly start having sex with you every day? I'm asking this honestly, not snottily. Because what you have here is a difference in sex drive and just as there's nothing wrong with yours...there's nothing wrong with his, either.

Now if there were a sudden change in his sex drive, or yours, *that* could indicate a problem, but pointing out that he's the one that's wrong isn't going to help matters. Trust me, saying "I asked all these people on a message board and they agreed that you just have a low sex drive...and then I asked my professor and he totally agreed" is going to be the LAST thing that will turn him on. Telling him he's not as sexy as you are and that other people also feel he's not a stud, is the last thing that's going to get a tent pitched down there.

I say all this not to be mean but to point out that if there is a serious difference in sex drive between two people it can be a problem in the relationship. Can you meet *each other* halfway? See if he feels sexy a little more often, but not every day? This is something that really can cause a rift between two people, eventually. Because the one with the "lesser drive" is bound to feel inferior eventually...and feeling inferior, in my experience and observation, just has never encouraged men in the sexual arena. Instead, they turn off and turn away. Don't let that happen to you...don't ask your professor...talk to *him* about it, and not in an "you're not enough for me" kind of way. Well...I'm sure you're not, but you know what I mean. If you address this now, early on, with tact, things can work out for you. Good luck to both of you!

I know you're not trying to be mean. Well, my husband thinks that having sex EVERY day is not so healthy, and by the time he is 30 he'll have a prosthetic hip. He is joking about that one ( the hip thing ). Although some of his friends were telling him that too much sex can have negative results on your heart, as well as too little. So he always wanted to ask someone in "medical" field is that true or not. Being that our professor is actually a doctor...Maybe that will answer that question.

LOL--it's healthy. Don't allow anyone to make you feel bad about yourself.

1. You are not weird. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have sex with your husband everyday.

2. No, having sex everyday won't have some negative impact on his cardiac health. It's actually most likely helping prevent prostate cancer for him - I could reference some literature if needed.
