Negotiating differences in sexual desire

Your partner isn't interested in sex at all. What can you do?

It is very difficult when one partner in a relationship doesn't want sex at all but the other does. This is often really distressing for the "high desire partner" especially if he or she loves and desires the other deeply. And just to make this very clear, we get equal amounts of emails from female and male high desire partners about this issue. It seems that sex drive isn't linked to gender any more.

 

There are three main possibilities as to why your partner isn't interested in sex:

 

1 Your partner might not be interested in sex for some reason of his or her own, such as poor body image, a naturally low sex drive, or his or her emotional state.

 

Things like this can be quite difficult for the high desire partner, because it's really up to the other person to do something about it. Getting to know each other better and encouraging your partner to talk about him or herself may help to open up a dialog about what's going on. You could also suggest that your partner gets some professional help with this. If the lack of sex drive is a recent development, a medical check up may be a good idea: some medical conditions, such as stress or depression, can result in a lack of libido. So can many prescription medications.

 

2 Your partner's lack of interest in sex might have something to do with your relationship.

 

Perhaps there are things in the relationship he or she isn't happy about, which are manifesting as a lack of interest in sex. What about taking some general steps to improve your relationship, such as showing more affection, listening to your partner more or changing things about yourself that you know he or she would like? Also, for a good sex life, people need both time and energy, so make sure you're contributing your share to household tasks and the general routine of your life together. Additionally, it may help to talk more about how things are going between the two of you. This will allow any issues to be aired as they come up.

 

3 Your partner may have a problem about the way you are having sex together.

 

This may be the hardest to hear, but it is actually the easiest one for you to fix. If there is something your partner wants you to do differently, then you might change that for them: equally, any changes in your partner's behavior are up to them.

 

In terms of possibilities 2 and 3, I recommend Bernie Zilbergeld's book, The New Male Sexuality, published in 1999 by Bantam Books. He's very good at explaining how emotional relationships work and how to go about sex in a way that suits both men and women. His writing is clear, informative and funny, so it shouldn't be a hard read. His tips on how to talk with your partner are also excellent, and he explains how to stand up for yourself - so I do really recommend his book!  It gives you an opportunity to reflect on both difficulties in your relationship and any possible mismatch of sexual techniques and desires.

 

If the issue is more to do with where your partner is at, then things get complicated. This can be a real challenge as it's OK that he or she doesn't want to be pushed for sex and shouldn't feel obliged to have it, but it's equally OK for you to want sex with your partner. It wouldn't be good for you to give up on your sex life because of what your partner chooses for him or herself. There are no easy answers here. However, finding out more about what's going on for the other person is a good start. Another good strategy is to build up a physical relationship which is loving and involves a lot of touching, but may not be sexual right now.

 

If your partner is just not interested in sex over a long period, maybe you need to consider how sustainable this relationship is going to be for you. It can be very distressing for the high desire partner to be constantly frustrated and feel rejected all the time. You do have the right to a passionate sex life. although you may have to acknowledge that this isn't going to be possible with your current partner. In that case, you may wish to consider all the other  alternatives open to you for your own life.
