I have never posted anything before but I have to tell you that I go through exactly the same thing, which is why I was just researching high sex drives or "peaks" in women. I'm 36, divorced about a year and half ago, and started experiencing this about 2 months ago. I simply give up during my menstrual cycle, what I refer to as my "horny week". To have a higher sex drive during my period, though, has been happening for quite a while and has been getting stronger since I went off the birth control pill for health reasons. But in the last month or two, it isn't only that one week out of the month. It feels like I am wound up 24/7, like I'm all ready to go and just need a partner (I'm not seeing anyone and have occasional sex with a guy friend when all else fails). It IS very distracting and very frustrating...because nothing can satisfy you. I joke to my friends and say, "I should have been a guy." I'm so glad that someone else can relate to this, but I feel for you for having to go through it. I have been looking for an explanation as well.
