I'm 20 years old as well as my husband. He's been the only man in my life and will be. I lost my virginity to him when I was 17 and he was 16. We use to have sex a lot and I was very pleased. As soon as we got together and got married our sex life came to a down fall there have been times that we don't have sex in 3 weeks. I get really horny almost all the time but he doesn't anymore. I barely get satisfied and he does all the time we have sex. Is there something wrong with me? Am I a sex addict? Please help! It's really hard for me to understand why I want to have sex all the time and he doesn't. It hurts me knowing I probably don't please him anymore.
