    do i want too much, or does he not want me?

    odd question but i want him everday if not twice, he says my sex drive is just too high and he has out grown wanting to get it on all the time, other than when i ask him i also masturbate once or twice a day whenever he's out. being rejected soo much is making me think he isn't attracted...could this be the case or could a 24 yr old on no meds really not want sex everday?

    It's a common misconception that men want sex every single day. Their sex drive can vary as much as a woman's can. If there's times he doesn't want it, don't push it. Try to pull it back a bit, to maybe a few times a week and he might be more responsive. How long have you been seeing each other? Do you live together?

      Is he looking at porn?

        Good questions and they may supply the answer. If your sex drives don't line up, especially with him so young, they may never. How long are you willing to deal with that?

          From my perspective there are two possibilities :

          1. He has a busy life which is taking a lot of his energy which depletes your sex drive.

          2. As the famous quote goes 'he's just not that into you' anymore.

          If this is an issue now, I don't see it getting any better unless he is willing to explore what may be going on.

            An understandable question...
            Many things could be underlining the cause. But without any more information it is hard to know.

            Communication is one of the most important factors in a relationship. It opens up for a closeness, equal respect and intimacy between you.
            IMO, Lack there of... fuels doubt, frustration, confusion, and selfishness. Talk and listen to each other... If it seems unworkable, move on.. You may both have needs that the other is not full-filling.

              People also vary a lot in how much sex they want. There are lots of people who want sex once a day or even more, but there are also many who are happy with once a week, or even just once a month. There might be some "cause", but it might also be that you just have very different levels of interest in sex. If the latter, then it may never change.
