Answer

Question:

My girlfriend wants sex 24/7, sometimes as much as three times a day. I'm a healthy red-blooded American guy but now sex seems like a chore that is demanded of me. Please let me know what you think is a normal sex drive. We are in our late 30's.

Answer:

 Nobody wants to do something that is demanded of them. Once it becomes a chore or a job it become something distasteful to us and something that we “have to do”. Without knowing the details of your relationship it is hard to give you an absolute specific to your relationship. However, it sounds like your girlfriend might have a higher libido than you do. This does no necessarily mean there is anything wrong with you. If you are noticing that even without pressure form your girlfriend you’re just not in the mood you may want to rule out any medical concerns. Look at your sleep patterns, exercise, alcohol intake, use of any substances that might be reducing your energy levels and thus your libido.
