What if you’re married to someone who has more or less libido than you. What do you do if it’s constantly coming up as an arguemnt?

One person prefers quantity the other prefers less quantity but better quality.

Somehow I doubt the one who prefers "quantity" sees it that way. They probably just see it as wanting quality sex more often.

Def a difficult issue, sex drive is hard to ignore, and it even fluctuates throughout life so the chances of finding someone 100% compatible are low

It's the kind of thing you can only really address through communication if both partners have already made each other very comfortable in talking about everything honestly, so I'd work on that

[i][c=#BF0080]I’d say it’s time for a divorce if both are unhappy and unwilling to do something about it. [/c][/i]

@CharlieZ I agree

ok...so what do you do @CharlieZ

Well, sex like everything else in a partnership should be discussable.
But if you're using words like 'Quantity' and 'Quality' that indicates something/one doesn't see sex as quite as important as the other partner.

So it's a relationship issue.

Thus the question becomes....."Why is sex not as important for one partner ?"
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
both agree it’s important. The only disagree on how often. @Picklebobble2
If it is a constant argument and a loving compromise has not been found then I recommend marriage counseling. I also see a red flag at the mention of better quality. Definitely would suggest outside help.

*better quality meaning do it less but make sure it’s awesome . @Pinkstarburst
@DoubleRings If it was awesome wouldn’t you want it as often as you could get it???? Quality and quantity kinda go hand in hand on this (IMO)

in two people who have the same level libido yes. but one is lower and feels like it’s not as frequent of a need.

There has to be a negotiation. Trust. Respect. Love.

Maybe it's time for some education on both subjects .. As stalin I think said, quantity has a quality all of its own
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
@ozgirl512 idk what that means
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@DoubleRings just saying that the quantity person may need educating on quality ...

Keep talking it out until you reach a compromise both can live with. Get counseling if necessary.

Why can't one want quantity and quality, while the other is barely interested.

In theory or reality?

@DoubleRings Depending on how bad the situation is (One always demanding and the other almost never willing) the wanting one could find another partner with the permission of the one not willing.

Which one has more, and which has less?

Let me guess which partner says what...
That’s a tough one. I can only imagine: “Can I get a ‘hall pass’ for
a side partner, for more frequent sex ?” “Sure, if [b]I[/b] can get one for a more [b]skillful[/b] partner !” 🤭
