I've been dating my girlfriend for 2 and a half years now. Almost everything is great between us and we want the same things in life but we have huge differences in our sex drive. If it was up to me we would have sex just about every time that we see each other but lately we only have sex once every 3 or 4 months, causing plenty of arguments in our relationship. I keep telling her how important it is for a healthy relationship but every time we have an opportunity to she has a different excuse. (She's not in the mood, she feels uncomfortable, she doesn't want to in a specific location, etc.) She's a very beautiful girl but has very low self esteem and I think that this may be a reason. I truly do love her but it's gotten to the point that were constantly arguing and makes me feel like that she wants nothing to do with me physically. We're 23 years old and I feel like this is something that happens at age 50, not 23. Do I end the relationship and possibly miss out on a great future together or stick it out and be sexually frustrated? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Only you can make this decision no matter any stranger on this public forum tells you. Talk with your girlfriend and ask her directly what the real issue is and work it out or not.

Women are like old cars. They need to be warmed up first (inside and outside of the bedroom).

Good point - if sex is the only objective- then it is s turn off. Get that old tune by Ottis Redding TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS....Have a listen- then go old school and get an Etta James CD---turn the lights down and learn to slow dance--- be tender...love her--- touch her with care...hold her hand.......and cool that horny toad thing a bit- sounds like physically you want to re-populate the planet...Must be great to have that drive- now that you have that- get some romance going..........What's the rush - If she had sex with you one- it will come again...but not if you act like a horny little dog ---lol...

Doesn't seem like she's attracted to you anymore. Does she take birth-control?

How long has she been on it? I know some women lose their sex drive completely while they are on the pill(this was always the case with me).

Ouch!
It is hard to tell from your thread what your sex life was like in the beginning up until now and what incidents have occurred since then?
Although after 2.5 years sex gets into a routine it is def. more than once in 3 or four months.
If it has been this way since the get? I would say this is what you haveto look forward too and if sex is very important to you then perhaps you need to speak about terminating the relationship.
Since sex seems to be very important to you and not to her, it is like squeezing blood from a turnip, does not happen.
If it ha decreased a lot? I would speak to her about what the issues are. Perhaps there is not enough foreplay? Foreplay does not always mean being adventurous and having sex in different places it is actually about YOU getting her turned on..romancing her, getting her in the mood…sorry
