I have a very high sex drive. I am a female. I do not know if this is normal. I'm 19. I want sex everyday several times a day. I am dating a guy that I have known very well over the past six years. (He's 21) I find myself wanting it all the time now. I have been sexually active since I was 14 but this just started a couple months ago and not so normal for me. I'm not the type that wants sex allll the time, wellatleast I wasn't. I am very much in love with my boyfriend. We have a great relationship except he often gets frustrated w/ me bc I am wanting sex all the time. (Don't get me wrong we have a fantastic sex life, but apparently i want it to much) I get upset when he turns me down and it makes me feel unattractive an I'm starting to feel self conscious about my body and starting to wonder if he's just loosing interest in me. He tells me nothing is wrong with me an he loves me an so on but I keep finding myself in this predicament. He says he too has a high sex drive but why doesn't he want it as much as me? Is something wrong with me? Am I a sex addict? What can I do to fix this problem. Masturbation doesn't really help me. I'm tired of wanting sex all the time and he gets aggravated when I try. He often says I try to hard. But if I want it I can't help it. I need help. Please do not put rude comments or say that I should not be having sex at my age. I am an adult an am very aware of my actions and I am responsible. I just need to know if there is anything I can do about this. If anyone has any advice is greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I think all couples go through things like this. You can have the exact same sex drive for a long time then one of you has a higher one and the other has a lower one. Maybe this is what's going on with the two of you.
Can I ask if you;ve been under stress lately? I'm asking because sometimes when people are under stress sex makes them feel better and calms them down. I know, I'm reaching here. But, you never know. If this is'nt the problem then I agree with the other posters. See your Dr for a check up. If nothing is wrong then you're most likely going through the higher sex drive thing right now.

Well. Our sex drives were the same at first. Then mine kicked up a couple notches. Deff not goin to break up with him an look for someone else just bc he doesn't want to have sex every time I want. He does what he can. And I know he loves me. An I love him. And that's all that matters. We will figure out a solution together I reckon

It is not easy to find somebody with the exact same sex drive, especially since, as you are learning, drive changes over the years and circumstances.  

You need to find something that satisfies you with toys or whatever.  You could break up with him and look for somebody with a higher drive and could find it, but then after a couple of years your levels will probably normalize.  Then if you get married and have a baby, all of a sudden your hormones switch into baby mode and it may be years before you get interest back.  So then your boyfriend will wish he could help you get your drive back and you may think he's immature and inconsiderate.  

So the question is whether you want to settle down or not.  If you do, then you need to have a discussion about whether he wants to help you through this time with alternative sex of some sort or you need to find something for yourself or what.

See a doctor and get your hormone levels tested.  If this sudden increase in desire is new and unusual, you want to rule out a pituitary tumor or something else odd that might have made your hormones suddenly increase.  If nothing is unusual in your levels, see a therapist.  I would have said there doesn't sound like there's a mental/emotional component to this from the first part of what you wrote, because it sounded like merely a physical change.  But then you said that you're worried your boyfriend is losing interest and you take his disinclination to have sex several times a day as evidence that you should be self-conscious of your body or that he is losing interest.  If you're doing this obsessively because you are afraid he is losing interest, that's worth talking over with a counselor.  A human being is worth more than the sex they provide.  Your boyfriend sounds mostly like he is just feeling kind of harassed by your constant requests for more sex.  Try to relax.  If you're afraid the relationship is failing, address this, and I don't mean in the sack.  A counselor would help with all of that.
