How much of a libido difference can you tolerate?

[minacia]

Many couples realize after they get married that their libido does not perfectly match. For example, party A might want to do it every day, whereas party B only wants to do it once a month.

We can express this mathematically as a ratio of (your libido) : (partner's libido).

For example, a 5:1 would indicate that you want to do it five times more frequently than your partner does.

If you were to marry someone, what kind of libido ratios would you feel is tolerable?

I would not marry, but I usually have the higher libido. I can tolerate low libido from my significant other.

The person is much more important than libido, but I am to an extent sex averse... but I think these play out differently with different ratio, people and relationships. So I don't know if I put a reasonable ratio.

I think things like libido should be discovered before marriage talks because this can ruin yah bed life lol....i have high libido and i definitely can tolerate my partner having a low libido.

I can match whatever freakiness they exude, however often they do it. Just be honest about and don't make me try and guess it.

you just have to balance things out by adding another wife

While I get horny about as much as anyone else, in the sense of desire for recreational bedsharing, I have virtually no libido. In this case, relative scales don't really have any meaning to me. If its someone who has equal or less desire for sex than me, well that just means a sexless marriage, and I am okay with that. Acting on the assumption of a partner with a typical libido, that would still be dozens of times higher than my own. Considering that my partner(s) having normal libido is a reasonable assumption, I have resolved myself to perform frequently enough to keep them somewhat satisfied, or to encourage them to seek relief elsewhere.
