What to do when you want to do it three times a week and he wants it just twice a month (or vice versa)?<\/p>

This is a common phenomenon. We speak about Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) only when the frequency is limited to two or three incidences of sexual intercourse<\/a> a month and when the situation continues beyond six months, without dreaming about another partner. On average, men have desires<\/a> more frequently than women because women are subjected to hormonal variations. But some factors can reduce the male desire (depression, sickness and tiredness about traffic jams), whereas women (except in case of synthetic hormones) can have their desire intact from January till December. HSDD concerns 30 to 40% of women and 5 to 10% of men. Without HSDD, 25% of men feel they don\u2019t see enough sexual desire in their partner\u2019s eyes.<\/p>

The advice: waiting for your\u00a0spouse on the bed by tapping on the pillow is not a good idea. It sounds like a 'Bailiff\u2019s report'. Nevertheless, it is a fact that quantity is as important as quality. The couple\u2019s harmony feeds on intimacy<\/a> and intimacy feeds on sexual intercourse. According to Pascal de Sutter, \u201cif he wants to do it three times a week and you once, it would be better to respect the lowest frequency because pressurising the one who want less would be counterproductive. Then it is better to enjoy and be happy with once a week.\u201d<\/p>

Couples: We don\u2019t have the same rhythm<\/a>
Couples: We don\u2019t have the same approach<\/a>
Couples: We don\u2019t like the same preliminaries<\/a><\/p>
