I am also a man. I had a similar issue with my ex-wife. Her sex drive was much more constant than mine (i.e. 1 or 2 times a day vs. every few days for me). It caused huge stresses in our marriage. She was suspicious and jealous and that was exacerbated by the difference in sex drives. The increased suspicion, of course, decreased my desire to be close to her.
I think every situation is different, but no marriage will ever be happy and fulfilling unless both partners get outside themselves and communicate. In my situation, sadly, that never happened.
