What would you do?

If everything in your relationship was going fine, but the sex drive of one person was far greater than the other; the other being once every 6 months - would you stay in that relationship? Why, or why not?

    Lack of a sex drive, especially in men, can be caused by a number of reasons. First and foremost, if it is the man who has lost the sex drive and he doesn't have any problems performing, he is getting his sexual needs satisfied outside of your relationship. What are the person's reasons for not wanting to have sex? A lot can be said just in their response. I question that everything is going fine...from who's point of view? I think it's time you had a long sit down with the one you love and communicate how you are feeling. If he is unwilling to respond to your request, then you will need to move on.

    I definitely would not leave or start looking for something on the side if I were the one with the higher sex drive. I would discuss this with my partner if I felt this was the one for me. Possibly there is something physically wrong and a thorough check-up by the Dr. needs to be done. If nothing is found to be wrong, my next step would be to get into sex therapy. There are many options in this day and age. Your partner needs to also learn different ways of satisfying you as well. This will be accomplished in therapy. If the first therapist does not do it for you - then move on to a second. I would stay in the relationship if I truly loved this person and thought my life would be spent with them. It's a lot of hard work but well worth it in the end. If you are not serious about this person - time to move on now. Good Luck!

    There are many different reasons for someone to have a lessened sex drive, some of which are medical or psychological. I would consult a medical doctor before I would end a relationship over sexual relations.

    No, that would be too little sex for me. I need it at least 4 times a week, if not more. My husband likes it every day and I like it less but it is so enjoyable that I we do it all the time.

    If you are not married get out while the getting is good!

    Afterall, you're asking total strangers for advice. Doesn't that tell you something?

    I were stay in it because your vows say for better or for worse. Talk to your spouse about how you feel and try to work it out.
