    Excesive sex drive

    I am a 46 year old woman who is ALWAYS horny.
    I feel like there is something wrong with me!!! I wake up wet, am wet almost all day, wet on the drive home and go to bed wet...
    BF of 20 years (he is 55 yrs old) is always tired or just not into me anymore. We have sex usually only 1 a month if I'm lucky.

    I use a vibrator a lot ..What is wrong with me???

    Nothing. There's no set standard of what a "normal" sex drive is, because it's something that varies a lot. I hope I still have a very active sex drive when I'm in my 40's!

      Nothing is wrong with you. Your bf's libido sounds low. Has he checked out why he only wants sex once a month. As usual, the person with the lowest sex drive controls how often sex occurs. Has there been discussions about you wanting more sex? If so, what was the outcome?
      I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

      Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

      From a speech by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 at St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia

        Yes I talk about it all the time!! He just says his work is more physically demanding and I get ups earlier and blah blah blah. I can understand to some extent but there is ALWAYS some excuse. I even joked about trading him for a younger model or getting a "Friend with Benefits" and he just blows it off. I do love him but.......I do need sex!!

          This is painful and you want it excessively and maybe you go hormonal at times when he is not in for sex and I think, I am not a consultant and not even an experienced person, both of you must go holidaying somewhere ,to some distant exotic destination and have fun, romance and sex and he may turn up positive in good time.
