    I always considered myself to have a pretty low sex drive.
    Hubby very very high sex drive. He never pressures me though. I just get frustrated if anyone does that and makes me think 'F OFF'! (Following bad experience as a teen)

    Penny has dropped

    I don't have a low sex drive. I'm just not that interested in sex with men.
    Hard to say aloud that, I feel like I'm being awful to my hubby. I am realising things.
    It is baffling to think humans can truly trick themselves into believing something.

    I think back to all of my experiences......and it all makes sense.....

    Oh my god can I ever relate to this!

    I also thought I had a very low libido. My sex drive is super high now that I've come out to myself. I fear for the safety of the first woman I am intimate with....kidding.....sort of. :icon_wink

    I can very much relate to this. I always thought maybe I was even asexual or demisexual because my sex drive was so low. Started with women and now I feel like a horny teenager that can't get enough! Amazing what dating the right people will do.

    Ah thanks for empathising! :slight_smile:
    Yes we have spoken about this and did explain that I wonder if it would be different with a woman. We are honest with each other and regularly talk about it.
    We did talk about open marriage, there is just something about it I am not sure I am 100% comfortable with
