When She Wants More Sex

by LoriGorshow on October 25, 2009

I have a story to share. It is a very personal and private story that I have decided to share with you. I am doing so in case the subject of this blog resonates with you; I want you to know you are not alone. I know a little something about this subject; I was in a long term relationship with a man whose sex drive was considerably less than mine. I suffered in silence, ashamed and embarrassed. I didn’t confide in family or friends instead I blamed myself.

Our relationship didn’t start out with a lack of sex. In fact. in the early stages of our relationship it seemed that we were sexually well matched.  So when sex began to take a backseat I started questioning what was happening. The response I got was that he was under a lot of stress from work. But when the lack of sex went from a several weeks to a month, I again voiced my concern. This time I was told that keeping score was a turn off. It wasn’t long before a month turned into several months.

As time went on with no improvement, my concerns turned inward and soon I concluded it must have something to do with me. Maybe he didn’t find me that attractive anymore; I had put on some extra comfort pounds. But when nothing changed after the weight loss, I continued to look for other explanations. Some of the more wacky reasons I considered; I wasn’t educated enough (at the time I didn’t even have a bachelor degree). I wasn’t talented enough and I was sexually boring. 

I will continue to explore this topic in future blogs but in the meantime let me know what you think about this subject. I would like to hear from you.
