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 on this board so that I can get and idea from the women on how to go about this. I am sexually attractive Italian/Irish American man. My wife finds me attractive, but does not act on it... I'm just at a loss.

I am turning 30 this month... I have had a high sex drive since I was...9 or so. I was interested in woman since I was 6 for as long as I could remember. I have masturbated since I was 8. Through my young teenage years I found myself masturbating more and more, then when I hit my upper teens, I had sex at 18. When I joined the military my sexual desire increased 10 fold. I have always been a very sexually active guy even till now. I am re-married with three kids, and my current wife has lost total interest in sex after our third which was her first born... she reserves Saturdays as ,y " relief day" where she really does not interact much with me to make the moment count. We use to have sex back to back three times in maybe 2 hours. 5 times a day maybe was the norm.

I unfortunately have this overwhelming desire that even when Im doing y college work, sitting in bed, reading whatever it may be, I get a sexual urge that I "HAVE" to get ride of so taht I can think straight. It is as is the sexual desire takes control of me and I will do almost anything to maximize the arousal. I.e talk to old Girlfriends that had interest in me, x- wife that was interested in me. I do not want to cheat on my wife, however, the urge is so great, I have this desire to seek out someone that wants me as much as I want it. After I climax, I feel like I am returned to normal and can think straight, ethically, morally and logically.

I am really starting to think there is something wrong with me. When I see my wife's body, I am aroused imminently. I just want to make love to her, hard-core, soft-core...anything that will get the fluids flowing and orgasmic volcano's erupting. Almost like a porn star. My wife thinks there is something wrong with me now as well, because I want sex so much... is there something wrong with me really?

I have fantasies of double penetrating her, or even inviting another guy or gal of her choice so that multiple orgasms will soar. Secretly I think she like woman, but she loves men too...she married me not just for the sex, but because I treat her like a woman and love her.

I just don't know what to do anymore... I'm so afraid my sex drive will plummet one day and hers will CLIME and I wont be the man she needs me to be...:(

A high sex drive is great if we have them, but how do you keep it strong? In addition, how to itself a strong libido with natural methods?

Food for a strong libido

Say with any, what you should and should not eat these days, it is almost impossible to keep track! I prefer to keep dieting simple, fresh and of course to achieve a high sex drive. They have low fat in your body. You need to eat fresh foods, rich in vitamins and minerals. Your heart, lungs, liver, and blood pressure must all be in a healthy condition.

You have to be reduced to alcohol, smoking and drugs. In fact, if you can cut out all this, then do so. Get checked out at the clinic and find out what kind of shape you are logged in

The High Sex Drive Workouts

The improvement in libido with exercise can not be displayed logical to you, if you've done it before. If your libido is lower than normal and you feel a little lethargic, then your testosterone levels are probably a bit low. Low testosterone levels, a weak libido for men and women.

Help for men, short, sharp, intense workouts to increase testosterone levels and decrease fat. If you combine intense training with a sharp libido nutrition and natural herbal supplements, you will be a sexual tyrannosaurus!

I'm 48, married to a man who cheated on me 5 years ago while on a business trip. Our sex life was better than excellent, but he still cheated. I have never cheated and never thought I would, but lately, my need for sex seems to be mentally out of control. Recently, an older (9 years older) male co-worker, began showing an interest which started as friendly conversation, now I can't get this man out of my mind. I imagine having sex with him EVERYWHERE. I can't get him out of my head and the thoughts are all sexual. I thought it was just attraction at first, but then it turned into lust. But over the last couple of days, I began to realize that it wasn't just for this male co-worker almost ANY man that I interact with, that catches my eye, I want to have sex with him. I fantasize all the time about sex, in the car, at work, in the shower, reading, watching tv and it's always with older (late 40's to late 50's) men. I have never forgiven my husband and our sex life has suffered. I now force him to wear a condom when ever (and it is not often anymore) we have sex and I refuse to allow him to perform oral sex because (even though I love oral sex) each time he performed oral sex on me (or when we are evening having sex) I always picture him having sex with this other woman. I do have a high sex drive and want to act on it with this co-worker. Our casual conversations have turned to sending each other text messages about where, when and how we want to have sex with each other (he's not married and lives alone). I have resisted so far, but don't know how much longer I can hold off and it's all just for the need for sex. But how do I explain the need to simply have sex with ever man besides the co-worker? I want to cheat, I want to have multiple sex partners. I long for excitement and love making, emotional sex, experimental sex. But again, this is not about payback, suddenly my need for sex with "other men" has exploded and I just love the feeling I am going through right now. Can you help me understand. Is it age? Pre-Menopause? Whatever it is, I am not going to lie I LOVE IT and if I do decide to have sex with my co-worker at least, I know I will not regret it one bit.

It's not the men you really want sex with. You miss your sexlife as it was before your husband cheated on you and that was a time where you both had a "clean slate". The men you are desiring do 'so to speak
' represent that missing clean slate since you have no negative experiences with them. It would be a bit like a "fresh start" with each of them and therfore no negative feelings and therfore relaxter sex and lust. You cant change your husband, you cant change the past. But: you can change yourself. I would strongly suggest that you see a marriage counsellor (dont stick with one you dont like but check a few first) and a sextherapist. Then you will have all the fun you (and your husband) deserves back in your life. Good luck!

Hello Anonymous,
I'm a 47 yr old married female, soon to be 48, and I am having the exact same problem as you. For almost the past year, all i can think about is sex. Same as you, mutlitple partners, experimentation, cheating. I'm starting to believe it's like a hast hurrah before menopause. I used to have problems with painful penetration and dryness, but not anymore. I feel like I've gone crazy in a way, my sex drive has never been this high in my entire life.
I love it as well, but I am in a very troubled marriage that I don't believe is salvageable. If you have a good marriage, but it's only sex problems, I suggest you consider forgiving your husband. From this vantage point, it seems that you are only punishing him by making him wear a condom and depriving him or oral sex (which deprives you too). After all, it's been 5 years, and he obviously still loves you by wanting to have sex with you. Men express their love through sex and the need for it is much more physical. You say you have problems thinking about him with the other woman. What happens if you act on your desire to cheat? I can almost guarantee the first time with someone else won't be what you expect. At the same time, if you've never cheated maybe you need to use your "get out of jail free cheat card". What if you cheat and get caught? Then your husband thinks about another man giving you oral. Same deal. If you want to cheat, I say go for it, it could open up a whole new world for you. If cheating doesn't work out for you you have your husband and he may just love your new and improved libido, and it is quite possible for the two of you to experience sex on a whole different level. On a final note, I equate what you and I are both going through to what it feels like to be a teenage boy. It's a constant want for sex.

I too have an over active sex drive and I am afraid that I am going to ruin my marriage because of it. I seriously don't know what to do.

I have a high sex drive and I am in a healthy relationship. My sex drive was never a problem, except I could never relate to other women when they complained about sex. However, in the last year, I have noticed a few significant changes. I am in a constant state of arousal, which may sound good, but it isn't. Walking, wearing pants, simple things are getting annoying. My nipples even stay hard. I feel like an old man who took too much viagra and is stuck with a four hour hard on. Going to the doctor soon to discuss this very embarrassing topic...yah me...NOT.

I have a question along the same lines: Is 3 times a day a normal healthy sex drive for a male? I've been lucky enough to find a girl friend who shares my same urges and we do it right after brushing teeth in the morning and once on my lunch break from work and another time after the day is over when we are both in bed cuddling. I was wondering is tis a normal cuz I read a lot of studies saying it's normal when couples do it once or twice a week and I think that's an insanely low number of times for a married couple. I always do a lot of foreplay and buy flowers and do the dishes and laundry clean around the house after work which helps keep us both in the mood, her cuz there's less work and she's getting treated like she should by the guy that loves her and me cuz she's happy with me and beautiful.
