When you have a desire gap with your partner, it doesn’t mean you’re doomed to disconnection and strife.

Libido mismatch affects couples of all ages, orientations and backgrounds— yet most people suffer in silence, wondering if desire discrepancies signal deeper relationship problems, or something broken within themselves.

The truth? Sexual desire differences are completely normal.

Why desire gaps happen (and how to bridge them)

Your libido mismatch has real causes: everyday stress, different arousal needs, life transitions, and relationship patterns that developed over time. Desire discrepancies don’t mean either of you is defective or that your relationship is failing.

Here’s what matters: once you understand what’s creating your desire gap, you can start addressing it as a team instead of as opponents.
