It’s common for two partners to have differing sex drives. When sex drives are significantly different, though, it can cause relationship difficulties. Frequency and type of sex are common topics of argument. Talking about your sex needs is important in resolving such issues.

If you’re both physically healthy, then look at other parts of your lives. Since the most significant sex organ is the brain, anything that distracts you from sex and intimacy will reduce interest in sex and make it difficult to enjoy sex. Stress, relationship problems, and distractions from children also can make it more difficult to want and enjoy sex.

Brainstorm with your partner how you can de-stress and eliminate some distractions. Try setting a sex date where you both commit to focusing on each other and on being intimate.
