Understanding Sex Drive in Relationships
A common concern in relationships is the disparity in sex drives between partners. A woman confided in the author, "My boyfriend just wants to have sex all the time," sparking a discussion on whether men are truly more sex-obsessed than women.
Experts, such as psychologist and sexologist Laura Lee, note that true sex addiction is rare and characterized by compulsion, not frequency. As Lee puts it,
Wanting sex often isn't an addiction. It only becomes one when it's used to numb or escape emotion, rather than to connect.
The stereotype that men have higher sex drives is a common phenomenon, with some men using their partner's lower libido as an excuse to engage in infidelity without consent.
