My brother and sister in law are in this situation and have been according to her from the moment they got married 10 years ago . . . He wants to have more sex . . . she doesn't enjoy sex much and would prefer to have it like twice a month . . . They are otherwise a happy couple and communicate very well with their thoughts and feelings. . . but can't get it right in the bedroom because their sex drives are so divergently different . . . Then What do people do? Do you leave your otherwise perfect spouse, who is your best friend? No, probably not . . . But what does he do about the fact that he isn't getting an intimacy and she isn't interested in giving it to him??
Thanks!

from what I've seen it's usually the partner with the higher sex drive who ends up losing out in these situations.
Another thing that's important to consider BEFORE marriage/commitment is compatability of sex drives.You see lots of advice telling couples to be sure their values and long term goals mesh before saying their I do's but seldom do you see the topic of sexual compatability mentioned.
What is the high desire partner to do when all efforts at communication fail?
