We play with each other all throughout the day and we both initiate it but the act of sex itself doesn't happen until the end of the day and we're equal opportunity instigators. A touch can turn into intercourse just like that *snaps fingers*.

I think I initiate a little more, but we both do.

That's interesting, my girlfriend is almost never the one to initiate sex.

We've been married 25 years and I guess, when I really think about it, it has worked out to 50/50. When we were younger he initiated more I think, but now that it's back to the two of us, I think I initiate more now. 'Course, to be fair, he is still catching up with my newly found interest.

It's roughly 50/50 although I'd say he probably does it a bit more. Lots of his attempts are fairly halfhearted,though: we'll just be sitting around watching a movie and he'll look over and say, "Hey, can I have a blowjob?"
ME: What? No, I'm watching this
HIM: Pleaaaase?
ME: No.

And that's that. But I don't know if constant blowjob requests really count as full-on initiating anything, haha.

There is a constant thread - the EF contributors are the ones who initiate sex in those couples where one's sex drive is lower than the other - dah!

Do any of the people on here that usually initiate sex start to feel self conscience about it?

I'd say it is probably 50/50. If not, then maybe I initiate it more. All in all, I think it is pretty close to equal.

He's always up for it and I'm always mentally horny, so it's generally 50/50, since a small touch just expands into sex

Yea, sometimes a touch is all that's needed.

Yeah. I know how you feel. It can be frustrating when you usually initiate sex.

Normally I initiate it, I always seem to be in the mood. But the past few weeks, it has been my wife, which is a nice change of pace. Because a lot of the time, she isn't in the mood.

Thanks for specifying your sex! It's easier than having to look at peoples profiles.

That must be nice. And surprising. You sure she doesn't want something expensive? Just kidding

Sex in my house is really irritating! Mainly because I'm always the one who instigates it. I have a higher sex drive than my boyfriend.
