Are you sure she had a low sex drive? I've seen girls do a complete 180, under the right circumstances. I'm not saying low sex drives don't exist, I'm just saying it's statistically rare -- 'asexuals' are only about 1% of the population.
All signs point to yes. On the small chance I'm wrong, we're done, was just curious how many others experienced this and how they dealt/coped with it.
Low sex drive might not be as rare as asexual. Here's statistics I found.
- 92% of cohabiting heterosexual couples that have been together less than 2 years have sex at least once a week.
- 94% of homosexual male couples that have been together less than 2 years have sex at least once a week.
- 76% of homosexual female couples that have been together less than 2 years have sex at least once a week.
(Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983, p. 196)
It's possible that there are definitional problems with "sex" when it comes to lesbians, but it could also just be that a lot of females wouldn't care to have sex that often but do it either to please their boyfriend or are capable of being turned on and doing it more frequently than they'd spontaneously desire to. (Look at the discrepancy between heterosexual couples and lesbian couples.) Others just might not have much capacity to get put in the mood or don't care to please their boyfriend.
I'm open to hearing other explanations/comments for the discrepancy though!
