I don't entirely know what's defined as a healthy sex drive, especially if it's affected by the way you're raised, etc.
Does that effect it?

Stress does have a huge affect on sex drive, so that's very understandable.
How one is raised in regaurds to sex can often affect one's sex drive.
Do you feel how you were raised is affecting your sex drive now and that is part of it?
In every new relationship, things are fresh and the sex is exciting and different as you explore this new person you're with.
My husband and I have actually increased our sex frequency over the past 7 years of being together. When we first got married, we only had sex about 2-3 times a week.Things are much hotter and the sex is more frequent now, mostly because I'm a lot more comfortable with myself sexually, I believe in keeping the spice in your sex life. We also watch porn together and I've gotten a couple sex toys, there is something to be said for being comfortable enough with each other to be able to explore new sexual positions and sex toys together. On a good week, we have sex 6, sometimes 7 times a week, on a really busy week or a week with work stress, it's about 4-5 times.
There is an ebb and flow to relationships and to one's sex life that's pretty normal, if there is a strong attraction towards each other, for every lull in your sex life there will be a surge of great sex.
As a side note, I'm sure your guy has noticed a change, have you talked with him about how you're feeling? Always a good thing to communicate, especially about sex.
