    Our libidos were about the same until semi-recently.  The stress of my terrible job has, unfortunately, spread into many other areas of my life.  Amoung them, my libido has dropped significantly.  I feel bad for DH.  :(

    My husband has more of a drive than me, though mine is improving now that I'm on Nuvaring.

    I definitely have a higher drive than DH. We're working on it though.

    @Mrs.KMM: Blah same here. Mine actually used to be higher and I was always hounding him. Now I am so stressed from work, I come home... eat dinner... sleep. REPEAT. It's sad, and I am working on fixing that!

    My FI's is much higher than mine, but I have chemical reasons for mine being low. Someday it'll be high again, someday!

    Hubby's is higher. I was also on the pill until April, though, and that definitely played a HUGE role. Hated it! Unfortunately, it hasn't come back as much as I would have liked!

    @eloping: I'm super jealous! :)

    When we were child free our sex drives used to be on par. During the early "baby" years mine was lower, and now that our son is in school & I have my body back it is higher than my partners.

    Ours are about the same - I went though a "low" period recently, but am on my way back up, which is exciting!  I just wish he would initiate more - I feel like I'm always doing all the work.

    Mine's been terrible for years, but I've been off BC pill four months now, and it has improved a little - hoping it's a gradual thing as there is still quite a significant disparity between us!

    Mine is slightly higher. But his changes a lot. There have definitely been times where mine is way higher though. It oddly causes weird tension sometimes. Like, if mine is way higher than his for a period of a few days, I will start getting really antsy and snappy. I just started correlating that. LOL. Definitely something I need to work on. I never thought sex would play such a large role in a relationship until we got serious and I noticed the difference between good sex spells and bad sex spells. So weird...

    We both love sex. FI and I average about once a day, 3x or more in the summer when we have more time off. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner :)

    My FI has more sex drive then I do by far! He would have it 3x a day if he could. I, however, have to take meds for an anxiety disorder ( thanks to a rough patch in my life a few years ago) and it just takes it away. I could go once a week while I'm taking my meds regularly but that just isn't fair to FI. I feel bad about my lack of interest sometimes. Sucks that I need the medicine.

    I never thought I would find someone with an equal sex drive.  I think it is very important!

    I'm 11 years younger than FI and he likes to tease me that I'm a horny young teenager. (FWIW, I'm 20) But I think we're about the same. I don't ever feel like he wants it more often than me or vice versa. He just likes to call me a horndog.

    FI's cousin was complaining about lack thereof and FI advised him to go find a nice 18 year old (which is how old I was when FI & I met). Totally joking around, it was really comical though!

    @mrs.peters.to.be:

    rawr!

    That is how we used to be when we were child free, I definitely miss it. Darn work being a 7-5 thing, definitely cramps my style haha.  :P
