Hi. I've seen a few posts about similar issues before, but I need some advice now.

My partner and I have different sex drives and I’m not sure what to do. For reference, my partner has a higher sex drive then me, and I feel that a) I’m not adequately providing for them and b) there might be something wrong with the way I feel. They want to have sex every time we're together, and I'm really not that fussed most of the time.

It’s not just the fact that they want to have sex more, they’re also more into it – based on how they act/what they say. When my partner says something like “I’ve thought about touching you all day” or “I really want to ***** you”, I’ll feel guilty, because, honestly, I don’t feel that. It’s not that I don’t like my partner – emotionally I feel very close to them, as I trust them immensely and they’ve also done a great job of improving my self-esteem and worth; I just don’t attach as much to physical attraction as they do. I enjoy spending time with them, but sex just isn’t that much of a deal for me. That being said, I know it’s more important to them, and I want to be good to them.

What can I do about this? Either in terms of the way I approach this with myself, or with my partner? Maybe I’m getting inside my own head with this. Any advice is appreciated!
