My girlfriend and I have very different libido's and come from opposite sides of the fence. I feel like neither of us are getting what we want out of our sex life. Is this something that will get better or is sexual incompatibility enough to end a relationship?

A Cappella agony auntI guess I'm more concerned with the fact that you can't talk about it either. You deserve to have sexual contact more than 1x/month. If you can't reach a compromise you will both be very unhappy, and that doesn't bode well for the future.

Dear Poster

Vow, that is very sad and must be very frustrating. You have only two options that I can suggest. You need to both try counseling or you will have to move on. You cannot consider getting married or building a future with this incompatibility.

I am sorry, I wish there was an easy solution. Try counseling it might be beneficial.

Best wishes and keep me posted.

Try to keep SMILING.

406rider agony auntI guess what it breaks down to is that she would be perfectly happy only fooling around maybe once a month. I don't just mean sex either, sexual activity in any form. My parents raised me to be a very sexual person, while hers raised her to believe that sex is something to be afraid of. Whenever the topic is brought up it ends up in a fight with one or both of us upset. It is a very serious relationship and I fear that this is a foreshadowing of our relationship in the future. I've been patient for over a year and a half and its beginning to run thin. What do I do?

Dear Poster

Unfortunately you are not really giving enough information to be able to give you more informed advice; however, if you have tried all the possibilities to enhance your sexual compatibility and are not successful; well then I suggest you should consider moving on.

BUT, I would suggest you also consider all the other aspects that are important in a relationship and if it is only the sexual compatibility that is worrying you, well,don't give up if you have not tried to work on the sexual compatibility.

Good luck.

Always keep SMILING.
