Q: 

High Sex Drive: Normal or Abnormal?

Is there really such thing as a sexual peak when you hit at a certain age? I have been pretty promiscuous since I was about 19 years old and I am now 32 years old and my sex drive becomes higher and higher every year. Is this normal?

I always hear men complain that their women do not like to have sex and within a group of my friends, there are only two of us that have high sex drives. Can someone clear the air about this subject?

I'm affraid my high sex drive may end my relationship, because my partner has a low sex drive. I'm not very happy or nice an usually fustrated when I don't have sex after 3 days. What can I do?

I thought I was alone and going crazy, I very briefly thought I was a sex addict but i have a healthy committed sex life and none of the classic markers: ponography addiction, constant masturbation or dangerous sexual attention seeking behavior. with me, i just literal can NOT get enough. I think about sex at least twice an hour, I wake having dreams about sex, the slightest romantic notion between two people on tv and I'm ready to go. I feel really bad, as though I am pressuring my partner into a constant sex/rest/sex cycle. He jokingly called me a predator and i cried because thats what i felt like. I've thought about therapy but I'm convinced the issue is either hormonal or physical, but I currently have a male doctor and when i once briefly explained the problem he blatantly giggled, asked how a "girl like me" could have an issue "taking care of that", called my bf lucky, suggested i try a different vibrator. unprofessional, sexist and rude, I'm one year from medical school and would never think to say that to someone with a genuine problem.

Has anyone found something that truly works?

Wow! As I read this I was starting to freak out thinking "How could I have forgotten that I wrote this!!!" . I've had the exact same experiences. My BF playfully calling me a predator, and the issue with trying to talk with my doctor (at the time). I even tried talking with my (male) gynecologist. He didn't giggle and tell me my "man" was lucky, like my MD did. But, after my exam he gave me TWO percriptions for pain pills!!! Which I handed back to him, and politely said "I'm not in pain". Like you, I don't have issues with porn, or excessive masturbation, just need for sex to point of distraction.

hi there , i was just searching an ans to something similar. i have a super high urge for sex too. trust me there are more people like us around and are in similar situations. I think what atleast helped me to ease is- first begining to accept the way we are and enjoying every bit of it . Try doing that. I was searching if louise hay has written any thing on it . You must read " heal your self " by louise hay .

take care .

I'm a 28 year old female with 4 kids sex was never important to me as it was to my husband for 10 years. Now I can't seem to get enough my husband makes me feel bad BC he says what's wrong with you and maybe we should see a doctor but I can't help it sex is always on my mind all day all night it's gotten to the point where my husband sleeps in the living room so he could rest. Sex with him has always been great but now I'm scared BC the other night I kind of forced myself onto him but I couldn't take it anymore so what should I do HELP
