I agree with you Triangle Sun 100%. I remember when I dated my ex-gf who is Brazilian back in 2007. We were exactly 8 years apart, our relationship was amazing in all aspects except for 1 thing. She had an extremely high libido and always wanted to have sex more than twice a day, as I was able to go without having sex for an entire month. We still cuddled, kissed and fell asleep in each other’s arms when we weren’t having sex but in the end I was just not up to par with her libido/sexual needs that I felt it was best for her and I to part. When our relationship ended, it ended very nice and calm. She was definitely hurt because I was the one who ended it but I honestly wasn’t ready at the time due to my age and maturity to settle down with her at the time. Plus I also felt I couldn’t satisfy her libido on a daily basis. As I could go a month without it. We actually became friends again a year ago and she is currently doing really well in her life. I personally feel that sex is a private thing between a couple and both should feel comfortable. A real relationship should never be based upon sex, ever. Affection/cuddling and doing things together outdoors is more fulfilling.
Hope that helps.
