I've got a libido that my wife just can't keep up with - what to do?

A female , *oveMyWife writes:

I have been married for 18 years, I'm 47, and my wife is 45. We have 3 kids (16Male), (14Girl), and 11(Male) I am the sole provider for the family. . We have always differed in sexual desire. I seem to have a much stronger sex drive than my wife. This is not to say that we don't have an active sex life. I just seem to put a much higher priority on sexual encounters. I constantly want to have sexual encounters with my wife, but if I don't initiate activity we could go for weeks or longer, but I would like to be with her much more often,even multiple times a day, and wish she'd initiate things. Even though I know this is unrealistic of me I tend to get angry. I guess my question is is there something wrong with me? We've discussed it before, and we never resolve the issue. I love her deeply, and I know I'm being unfare sometimes, but I feel that she doesn't desire me and it makes me feel unloved sometimes, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong until I bring it up. I know she loves me as much as I love her but it causes friction sometimes. I would also like to know how often the average couple has sexual encounters not just inter-course, but other types of sexual contact.? Any advice, comments, or insights would be very appreciated.

Jadzia1127 agony aunt You can get your wife and you into sexual counselling. This might help direct both of you onto a more mutual appealing sexual life.

On average married couples have more sex then their single counterparts.
