1:How often should new couples have sex?
2: when does the lack of interest in sex by your s/o become a problem?
3: How do you work through it? Should you work through it or move-on?
4: And...does being on medication (causing decreased sex drive) alter the way one should view a lower/diminished sex drive of that s/o? (Meaning, should you excuse the lack of sex drive due to conditions beyond their control?)

1: (Almost) every time they meet
2: After two weeks
3: Working through it or not depends on the situation. If he rather jerks off as sleeping with me - dump.
4: If I know about the medication when we meet - no second date. If he starts taking medication when we are together for a while, either work with it or try to find a different drug that doesn't slow the libido down.

1: However often they wish to
2: Whenever it occurs
3: Depends on 1000000 factors
4: Yes, I think medical issues does affect how I view the issue. Excuse? I don't know. Be understanding and compassionate about it? Yes. Though I would hope that would be in play at all times.

Nice! With #3, that seems to be the outcome of pretty much most relationships, in my opinion.

True. #4 I think is tricky. I mean, if your partner is on antidepressants, and those meds decrease sex drive, isn't all antidepressants offer the same side effects?

No, they don't. And the same drugs don't have the same side effects on different people.

Two people are sexually compatible if they are both about equally satisfied with their sexual activity together. What does your survey have to do with this?

There are no hard and fast rules about this (no pun intended ), it's really different for different people.

How old are you? You should know the range is vast....you likely have a chip on your shoulder that you're not getting what is "due" you. Of course, showing a column that you should be getting more is not likely to have the intended effect.
