I know that this sounds weird and quite opposite for a woman to never get enough, but that's me. I have always loved sex and when my husband I first got together, we did it all the time and now he hardly ever wants too. I don't suspect that he is cheating on me at all. I wonder if there is something wrong with me. Maybe a horomonal overload of some sort. I know it bothers him when I try to initiate sex everyday and I don't want to bother him anymore. I just want us both to be happy in that area and i don't know how to NOT want it. My sisters are the same way so maybe it just "runs in the family." I don't know if that is possible. I want it the way it used to be when he would initiate it first. I don't understand sometimes because he told me when he was younger and with his ex-girlfriends that they didn't like to do it and HE could never get enough. I guess I'm asking how to slow down and get him to come on to me. I am 25 and my husband is 30. Any advice?

First, if you have not already done so, it is important to talk to your H. Secondly, it is important that the two of you understand either needs. I believe by talking it out so that each of you understand the issue and the needs part then it should get better for the both of you.

Is he working a lot or does he have a stressful job? Maybe he's just tired. Maybe try going out and de-stressing. Good Luck!

I have tried countless times talking to him about it but the more we talk about it the more he seems to not want me. I think he is stressed at work and this might have a lot to do with it, and he took a pay cut when he took this job as an elecrical apprentice. That may be a factor. I know I need to be patient and have suggested going out and destressing but going out requires money and that would stress him out even more. I just am afraid that it will always be like this. The only time he does want sex is on the weekends in the morning and when we do it only lasts like 2 minutes. I hate complaining about sex because I love my husband and I don't want him to think that he is not good in bed because he can be. I am just depressed that my husband doesn't want me anymore and maybe someday it will get better but right now I just don't feel sexy to him.

Stress can definitely take the libido out of a guy.

There's lots of destressing that can be done w/o spending a lot of money.

It may be that your husband has some other need that needs to be met. The EN questionnaire and other stuff on this site can help.

Generally, as both partners EN's are met, their SF's come into balance. Being out of whack maybe a sign of an issue somewhere else.
