ORIGINAL: madtourist Thank you for reading... I am in need of guidance and I thought/hope someone out there can understand... I am so lost right now. I went off on my boyfriend this morning kicking him, hitting him. screaming at him...i went nuts...Now, he tells me he is taking a temporary job in another state. I guess I deserved it. I went nuts because he is not fulfilling me sexually. I feel it is wrong to feel that way. I feel I have to beg him for sex and it is drives me crazy. Yes, I am totally lacking in self discipline.... I have such a high sex drive, and this is not to excuse my abusive behavior, it is a HUGE thing for me to limit sex to three or four times a week and not be able to initiate sex..I feel he is denying, withholding, and the more upset I get the more he pulls away... I used to have some understanding of handling conflict and power...or I thought I did.... I guess why I'm here and why I'm questioning my sub/dom traits is that I feel as if this huge core part of my self is not being expressed and satisfied in my life. Do I just resign myself to a life of quiet desperation? Am I the only woman who would ideally like to have sex three times a day.... How do I reconcile my sexuality with the rest of me? -----Karen First, drive drive and desire have nothing to do with BDSM. Please don't confuse your desire for sex with BDSM or Ds -- they may have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Second, it is far more common for women to have the higher sex drive in a relationship than our culture admits. Trust me, I've spoken to doctors and therapist about this, it is very common. Third, if you aren't fulfilled sexually and sex is important to you (would we question its importance to men or do we limit this criticism to women?) then you need to find a partner(s) whose drive is closer to yours. My husband and I have very different sex drives and we deal with it in two ways. First we are not monomagous. Second I learned how to please myself by myself sexually. I'd say that if your boyfriend has taken this job without consulting you, he's all ready told you the relationship is over. And yes, you lashing out may have pushed over the edge to that decision but that edge had to be there first to be pushed over.
