A one-sided sexual desire can be a source of tension in a relationship. When one partner wants sex more often than the other it can create feelings of rejection and frustration. The first step is to talk openly about the issue without blame. A difference in libido is common and natural. Many couples experience this at some point in their relationship. Solutions include scheduling intimacy, exploring new activities together, and addressing underlying issues such as stress or medication side effects. Couples therapy can also help.
