There is an endless list of things that could put a strain on your relationship or marriage, from inconsistency to unmet relationship needs, to a lack of proper communication and an imbalance in sex drive, among many others.
Chief among those issues, and most pertinent to this article, is the potential tragedy of being with someone whose sex drive does not match yours.
Sex drive also known as libido is simply the urge to seek satisfaction of someone’s sexual needs. The need for sexual gratification, of course, varies from person to person, and this is where the source of conflict lies.
It necessary to you someone who shares a common ground when it comes to sex and the meeting of sexual needs. When partners have sexual desires that are so lopsided and so far apart in intensity, frequency and regularity, it really is not difficult to imagine such relationship hitting the rocks.
Even if it somehow persists, chances are that such relationship will be filled with resentment, unmet needs, stifled expressions of intimacy and a whole of lot of sexual desire brewing underneath.
In such a situation, if both partners are not willing to either tone it down or up their game to meet each other halfway, things become even messier and more complicated.
Whether or not you are having sex in your relationship, it is important to talk about sex, talk about how to handle sex-related issues and the things you both expect of each other in the relationship/marriage.
