Jolene, I have to agree with you. What is considered "normal sex drive" for me and what is considered "normal sex drive" for someone else are more than likely 2 totally different things. I have always felt that my sex drive is quite normal, daily would be perfect for me. But, for my husband he would prefer 2 maybe 3 times a week tops. It has always been this way. Therefore, that is our normal sex drive. Some people would probably say that daily is a really high sex drive. I don't think so. It is just different from theirs.

We've been talking about high sex drives, low sex drives, etc. What are we comparing our sex drives to? I suppose the question is rhetorical, but I think it raises an important issue. Are we comparing it to our partner's sex drive? Our friends'? Some statistical average from a survey?

Looking forward to your comments.

Jolene, in Toledo

I am new to this forum but this caught my eye. I have struggled with this for as long as I can remember. I have always had a high sex drive. I'm wearing my husband out. I definitely want sex more than he does. I know it is testosterone related. Before I knew about PCOS, I could not understand women who had no interest in sex. Before I got married, I thought, my husband would certainly be pleased that I was not going to be refusing him. However the opposite has been true. I want sex much more frequently than he does. I think he is pleased when I DON'T ask for it. I've always felt that my sex drive was much more like a "typical male". Sorry if I sound sexist. I think it is merely a chemical difference.
