Different Sex drives

Karen's boyfriend is ready for sex at any time, but she is not. She wonders, "Is there a chance for us?" Possibly. As with many couples, Karen and her boyfriend have different sex drives; no matter what's going on, he's ready, whereas her feelings are much more affected by her mood, the situation, how much time they have, and many other factors. Just as with other aspects of the relationship, decide how high a priority this part of your life is. Then, to make the relationship work, accept each other's differences and make compromises.

Some people have a naturally higher sex drive than others, but libido levels are related to many factors, both physical and psychological. This should reassure you that ups and downs are normal and do not signal the death knell of a relationship and that changes and adjustments can be made.
