eating disorder and sexual life

[Guest guest]

I have a concern and you might have some input on it.

I know that in my 5 year relationship with my boyfriend, there were times in

which my eating disorder affected my relationship and my sexual life as

well.After a binge, I would prefer to cancel plans to be together and if unable

to cancel plans, I would choose not to have sex.

Now that I am not engaging in old eating disorder habits, I feel that I don't

need sex as often as he would want but I am not able to see if it is because I

am still having body issues or simply because I don't have the same sex drive.

Also, it is the first time in a long time that I am able to stay in a long

relationship so I am not sure if it is normal not to want sex daily .

Any ideas on how to solve this puzzle?

thanks

Hello Men & women have differing sex drives, mother nature didn't quite get the match right!Your quite normal. Unless it is causing relationship issues I would suggest not to worry. Sex does lesses after the first flourish of a new relationship & you fall into a routine which suits both parties. This pattern will of course vary for each couple. Life will also change things: work, illness, tiredness, hormones, time etc. If your partner & yourself are communicating then you may find that there is not puzzle to solve, just a normal sex drive for you being different that his normal sex drive.
