MISMATCHED SEX DRIVES

Marital conflict resulting from the man wanting sex more often than his female partner is common.  (There are women who want sex more often than their husbands do, but this is not as common).  In fact, it is the most frequent complaint brought to sexual therapy and psychotherapy offices by couples around the country.

In the past, couples just lived with their sexual problems because sexual disorders were not understood, no cures were available, and most people were reluctant to bring the subject up for discussion.

But sexual information from research as well as effective treatments for problems has come a long way in recent years.  Unfortunately, much of the information that is easily accessible to the public is no more understandable or reliable than it ever was.

What you read on the internet or in magazine and newspapers is not always accurate.  Even many of the books about sexual problems and solutions are written by people who have little or no credentials in the flied.  Some of the advice they give can be harmful, and is certainly no backed by scientific study.

The reasons for one person wanting sex more often than the other can be due to a number of complicating factors.  To overcome this sexual dilemma, couples much first understands what’s causing their particular problem, and then move on to the correct solution.  If either one of these important parts is missing, the difficulty will not get solved but will worsen over time.

Examples of these circumstances include medical conditions, hormonal changes, medications, psychological factors, lifestyles, sexual addiction, fatigue, inaccurate beliefs, unresolved marital difficulties, and so on.

Mismatched sexual desires can be complicated, resulting in a frustrating situation for couples that can eventually cause marital problems.
