    Just wondering if a couple have mixed sex drives is there anything that can be done to try help the relationship when it is becoming an issue? Something to increase one persons sex drive or something to stop the other person becoming frustrated?

    It really depends on how different the drives are....

    Some folk use accessories / toys / self-pleasure.
    Others may decide to have open relationships.

    However -whatever you decide has to be acceptable to both parties.

    Not too much you can do about sex drive though except for the obvious
    ie.
    > if under stress in work - drive will be down
    > exercise has varying effects - ie if you are always horny (or the partner is) - send them out for a run around the block
    > general health - as your health and stamina improve - it can have an impact on the sex drive
    > even look at the foods being eaten - ie lots of starch send my OH asleep in minutes... Not good when you plan a romantic evening :)

    So personally I would maybe first look to toys as a stop gap (though it might be long term) and at the same time then work at either getting healthier or trying to reduce the stress.
    However if this still does not work and is negatively impacting the relationship...

    Remember though - both parties have a responsibility here to the relationship - no-one person can do it all (no pun intended here).
