Do you have a similar libido to your partner?

My girlfriend and I have always had an great sex life. We've both expressed that the best sex has been with each other (I know from my end that is genuine :rotfl:) We are so comfortable with one another, like to experiment and overall sex is good.
Long story short, she has a much higher sex drive than I do. Because of pressures at work, general daily stress and me naturally being fatigued most of the time, her wanting sex everyday has turned into a bit of a problem. I am not an evening person and come 22:00 and I am looking to sleep. Her on the other hand is looking for sex. I know this sounds bad but recently sex has become a bit of a chore, to a point I have difficulty remaining aroused if she doesn't "finish" quickly.
How's your sex life with your partner?

Why are you waiting for bed / sleep time for sex? There's no rule that says you have to wait to last thing in the evening ...Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230

Without wishing to sound Victorian, my sex life is my own business thank you very much.0 -
Non existant...but then I suppose it would help if I actually had a partner!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

why wait until 10, is that just before your hot chocolate?
Could you fit it in during the ads on Emmerdale or Coronation St, a wee romp infont of the fire?0 -
This is a funny thread but to answer the ops question. My husband wants it every day. I'd be happy with once a week. By the time the kids are all asleep its about 10pm and I just want to sleep too so I can sympathize 0

We work together so are both as exhausted as each other, until the weekend comes. So yeah pretty similar libidos. If we didn't work so much I think it would be daily.Mortgage started 2015: £150,000 2016: £130,000 2017: £116,000 2018: £105,000 2019: £88,000 2020: £69,000 2021: £51,195 2023: MORTGAGE FREE!0

I wonder if the OP was female and her husband was wanting sex everyday if the responses would be different.0
