What It’s Like Being With Someone With An Opposite Sex Drive

Scheduled fornication. Every Tuesday and Saturday is happy day. Usually in the evenings after the kids have gone to bed. It might appear boring, but it is surprisingly calming. There are no surprises, but there are also no nagging, resentment or expectations. At least for us.

It was a rough 4-5 years before we got it all the way talked out. Now things are good. For me the lack of sex hurt but the rejection hurt worse. It’s about compromise and communication.

Her drive is higher than mine (I want it every day or two, she’s a freak) so often I’ll just be going through the motions to please her because of some macho bullshit of not feeling like a man if I can’t satisfy her. Once I start giving it to her I usually get horny and start enjoying myself, so it works out in the end. The third time around can be a struggle though. I’m not complaining, I’d rather have a feast than a famine.
