Okay here’s the deal. My current girlfriend is always extremely horny. It has gotten to the point where I’m starting to wonder if I’m just being used for pleasure. She is the first girl that I have gone out with who is like this. All of the other girls were far from having a sex drive like this one. From my past dating experience I was under the impression that girls were different from guys in that guys for the most part are always horny and girls are not. So, is this normal for women or were the other girls that I have gone out with normal? ---

I hate to say this, but by definition, a nymphomaniac is not a women who likes it a lot, but rather a woman who is never satisfied. If she simply likes to do it a lot, then she’s just a more sexual being than the others. The fact is that, in general, women have to LEARN to like sex as much as men do. Young women don’t reach orgasm as often as older women. Your other girlfriends, quite possibly, may not have been reaching orgasm as often as your new gf, if at all. That could explain it. However, if she likes to do it so much that you miss out on other things you want to do, then she has a problem. If even after lots of great sex, she wants more and more, then SHE’S the one who isn’t being satisfied. ---

Guys are always horny while girls are not? Where? What is the name of this strange country and how can I avoid going there? I’ve never noticed this phenom., but can definitely see how some girls would be less comfortable about expressing it, whereas guys are, of course, pigs. So she wants to have sex all the time. Big deal. That’s what we in the world refer to as “luck”. Enjoy it while it lasts. ---

The question shouldn’t be “Does she like sex more than most girls do?”, but “Does she like sex more than you do?” If she likes sex a lot more than you do, there may be a problem. If you like sex just as much as she does, then what on earth are you doing posting to a message board when you could be shagging? ---

Can she be intimate in other ways? Does she use sex to avoid other issues? Is she any good? Will she play dress up? Will she let you take pictures? I should have your problems. ---

The answer seems obvious to me. Maybe the _girls_ are the same as they’ve always been and _you_ are different. Maybe while reading this message board you’ve picked up on so many wonderful sexual techniques that you’ve turned into a fucking sex god–literally. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Now go do that voodoo that you do so well.
