Desire Problems

 

Desire difference & Mismatched libido. This is where partners have a different level of sexual desires

 

 

(1) There is no normal or average level of desire

 

(2) Sexual desire fluctuates over time.

 

 

What you could do

 

(1) Avoid rigid thinking. Do not automatically assume that they don’t fancy you any more, or want to leave you, as long as they are still being affectionate and have not changed in their other behaviour towards you.

 

(2) Is your partner alright? Rather than complain about the lack of action, show your significant other some care and concern. Are they tired, stressed out by work, feeling down, or taking medication? All these things can seriously affect their sex drive, and you should support them.

 

(3) Try not to stress out about the situation, it could be something temporary. Talk it through gently and calmly with your partner, without making threats or accusations. Most couples who are experiencing mismatched libido will need the support and management by health professional.
