So, I’m in a long-term relationship with my loving partner, and everything is good, except for the matters of sex. Suffice it to say, one partner (male) has a very overwhelming sexual drive, while the other (female) needs sex like once a month (and it has always been so throughout life). Partners are monogamous and do not explore options of having a third party.

Can any good advice be derived for such cases? Is there something that can be done to improve things on each side? I would love to hear your advice.

    While not having sex regularly may indeed be a sort of neglect for the powerful love language, forcing yourself to have it rings of abuse.

    Besides, I simply don’t enjoy it if my partner is not enthusiastic - and I know when she isn’t as she tried this before.

    This is pretty much why I look into options on how to improve things on either side.

    As per monogamy - I feel that to most this is not a matter of limitation per se, but something about feeling special, being the only person allowed to something sacred. And from that perspective, I love the fact she’s monogamous and respect that she expects the same for me. While she may not be the most sexually active partner on the planet, she still enjoys knowing it’s her who gets the prize.
