I find this topic fascinating. I find alot of women complain because their husbands/boyfriends have low sex drives. We don't think of this because society makes us believe that men want it ALL THE TIME which is not true.

I was wondering who here male or female are not "getting" it enough or want it more but the other partner is not interested. Also, I would like to hear from people that feel pressured to have sex with their partner even though they don't want to or feel the need to....

Sex is a tiring chore for most men but women expect it so many of us bite our lips and give in. Since counting ceiling tiles gets monotonous fast, I generally prefer to imagine myself preparing apricots for canning, and that seems to work just fine, at least so far.

Wow.... a tiring chore. I must say I haven't heard it explained like that. I love that preparing apricots works for you.

Well, I believe that at least part of the problem is how busy we can all get now-a-days. While a little "quickie" can be fun ever so often, it still can't compare to quality intimate time together, I don't believe. But, when you both ARE in the mood at the same time, and have enough time to really enjoy each other, it is so great. But job stress, deadlines on work projects, just plain old being exhausted, these can all take from an enjoyable time of intimacy, thats for sure. But, those good nights sure are GOOD aren't they?

I'm real lazy so we only do it once a month. Half the time we fall asleep on the couch and are too tired to do the humpty hump

I would love for my husband to be more playful and flirty - but he just isn't. I'm not that into sex but I like to "play"...He thinks I'm just not interested (lack of drive) I tell him it's because the most attention I get is a tap on the shoulder when we go to bed. What ever happened to a few smacks on the butt while I make dinner??

My sex-drive is definately greater than my wife's.... It's not to say she's totally uninterested, but she wants the whole romantic interlude and for everything to be "just right" and it's been a hard go of it to convince her that with a three year old we simply aren't going to have many opportunities like that....
