I am a female my sex drive is way way to high!!!!!!!!!
It's higher then DH I thought that could never happen.
I was wrong! It's like mine went up and his went down. sigh.
It's become a frustration for me. The other day I finally broke
down and told him about it. I told him I would like to be normal
again! Ether he felt bad or it turned him on. Because we had great
sex after that. But it wouldn't of happened if I hadn't said anything!
I told him I feel like a man! He didn't know what to think about that.
Well nether do I. He said You don't want it to go away do you?
I said Yes! If we can't be on the same page yes I want it to go away!
Almost a yr. ago my sex drive went up and now that I'm pregnant It's
gone way up! But the weird part is I have a hard time getting off!
That is so frustrating and now I think about sex all the freaking time!
How do you think I found these boards. I'm glad I did or I'd really be going
nut's is there something wrong with me? Is this normal? I'm beginning to wonder.
I haven't talked to the doc. Because I thought it was probably normal. So what
do you think?

Up until this year, I would have said DH's was higher. Now mine is way way up and we both seem to be very happy. :-)

I voted "We are equal" but actually we are "about" equal. DH's drive is slightly higher than mine but I usually get turned down more by him than the other way around.

I did vote that mine was higher and it is, however when my DW hit about 35yrs old her sex drive went thru the roof. I don't know if it is a hormonal thing but it sure is great.

Hi Kareese.

To me, it sounds like your changes are hormonal. First off, I know that you are young, so even though you already had a child and what not, your body was still developing a year ago (may be even now). Although women do usually fully mature physically before men do, puberty actually lasts until the age of 21.

Since you're pregnant, your hormones are wacky anyway. It's hard to tell what will happen with them once you have the baby. For most women, it takes about 1 full year for their body to get back to normal after delivery. You won't know where all those changes will lead you until you actually go through them.

With my second child, I had an increased libido in my 3rd trimester. Because of difficulties throughout the pregnancy, we we not able to have penetrative sex, which made it worse. Once he was born, and I was through the recovery time -- and was actually cleared to have sex, I didn't want it anymore. Go figure!!!!

Hormones play a huge part in your libido. I wouldn't worry at this point that you will always be in the position of wanting it more often than your DH does. It's very likely to level off in the next year or so.

Currently, my sex drive is way higher than DHs, although he does a great job at trying to keep up with me (LOL).

There was a time period when I had no sex drive, so his was definitely higher, but most of our relationship, we have been about equal.

I hope so because I don't care to be the chaser
I'm a submissive person and would like to keep it
that way!!! Dh has always chased me and that's just
the way I like it!!!
I know hormones have a big part in it all! I hate them! lol
I'm just playing. This pregnancy has really thrown me for a loop!
Plus It's been awhile sense DD was born and you tend to for get things.
Never thought I would but I have.

Kareese!
Thanks for the reminder.

Since I've never been with a woman who had any sex drive at all that I could see, I guess I would say that my sex drive was usually higher, LOL.

Kareese,

I'm a male and I feel the same way as you about my sex drive.My wife almost has no sex drive at all any more since she had her hysterectomy a year ago.We started out on the same page until she had that done.I too have sat down and came out to her about how I feel about my sex drive.She says that it's because I started out having sex late,plus I am with someone whom I feel saver with.Kareese,It's like I think about and want it all the time from her,plus wanting it more than once a day,which we I ONLY get it once a month.I told her one time that I was going to my doctor to see if she could give me something bring it down like hers.She said,"No" that your sex drive is find and if I had a problem with it I would have said something to you before now,but I'm find with it she told me.Just thought that I would share that with you,since after I had read what you posted that it was that same feeling that I had been having.
