I have had a high libido since I was about 18 (although I didn't have sex until I was 21, and I have only had sex with one person, my ex-boyfriend). One of the reasons I left him was because I always felt rejected when he turned me down for sex. In my next relationship, I would love to have sex everyday, but my ex only wanted it once a week. I would be willing to compromise (i.e., every other day), but my self-esteem went way down after being turned down almost 90% of the time!Have other people on here (guys or girls) had this problem? How do you deal with it/compromise? Or is the trick to find someone with an equally high libido?Thanks!Ps. I know sex isn't everything! And that there are a lot of other important aspects to a good relationship. But I also think some compromise is important, when ever a couple disagrees about something, including sex.

You probably just like sex but if it consumed you, drove you, wouldn't you have done it earlier, with more people?A difference between sexual desires is a classic, it is 90% of the jokes in "Married with children" and while the old line was that of the man wanting it and the woman having a headache reality is that lots of women find themselves wanting it more then their partner is willing/capable of supplying.Finding someone with who you can have the right amount of sex/intimacy (not all sex has to be the same) is probably one of the hardest things in a relationship.But it shouldn't be a compromise, both people should want it rather then the idea of one or either giving into other demands. A compromise follows out of a struggle, a debate. And that is a lousy starting point.

I think there are two solutions to your problem. Find someone who is as horny as you are (once a day is totally normal), or learn to satisfy yourself in between sex.
Note that being rejected sucks for everyone. It has nothing to do with your desirability, it's just a difference in libido.
