Your Boyfriend Wants Sex Every Ten Minutes

November 14, 2000

Question

Dear Dr. Love,

I have been going steady with a man I met online for 2 months now. We both are 26 yrs old. We have a long distance relationship and we only meet every two weeks to spend our weekends together.

Altho we do not see each other everyday, he does call me often to ressure me of his love. When he is in town, we would rent a motel to spend time and to rest.

My problem is that my boyfriend has a very high sex drive. He wants to have sex every 10 minutes and can keep going if we don't check out of the motel.

Because of his high sex drive, I have to fake orgasm alot so I don't know if he's trying to impress me.

Can you please help me understand why his sex drive is so high and what is he trying to prove?


Answer

The only way to find out what his thoughts, feelings, and motivations are is to ask him. I can't begin to read his mind. I can make some guesses, but these guesses will need to be confirmed by him.

Let's assume that you are reading him correctly and that he is trying to impress you. Can you see that you are painting yourself into a very dark corner by faking orgasms?

If he truly believes that you are orgasming as much as you pretend to be, then he will believe that he needs to hold up his end to keep you satisfied! It is entirely possible that he is inflicting a terminal friction burn on you because that's what he thinks you want. Meanwhile, you sound like you'd be happy to spare yourself the vaginal rug burn.

The only way to resolve this issue is to TALK to each other. If he truly has a huge sex drive, which many young men do, then that doesn't mean that your drive need match his.

Most couples don't have identical sex drives. He may be greatly relieved to know that your drive isn't so huge, which will give him a chance to rest and put some chapstick on his you know what!

All jokes aside. You both need to be honest and understand where you both are coming from (no pun intended). If he is going into overdrive to satisfy what he considers your insatiable sex drive, or if he is trying to make up for the time you are apart, that needs to be admitted.

If he does have a huge sex drive and you don't, then that needs to be discussed and accommodated. This relationship can't move forward with all the faking and lack of disclosure (and I don't mean 'disclothesure').
