"There&amp;#39;s often a disparity between the sex drives of two members of a couple, but if the dude you&amp;#39;re dating is crying &amp;quot;headache&amp;quot; and begging off of sex, it&amp;#39;s understandable how that might freak you out--or at least cause a lot of tension in the relationship. Just try to remember...\nPinterestFacebook__It&amp;#39;s not you. Probably.__Low libido can be caused by any number of personal issues: stress, depression, medication, bad health habits or just his unique hard-wiring. But that doesn&amp;#39;t mean he doesn&amp;#39;t think you&amp;#39;re the sexy, lovely, miraculous swan princess of all time, for whom he proudly keeps tampons in his otherwise testosterone-filled apartment.\nTry not to make him feel, like, really awful. There are ways to communicate about this that don&amp;#39;t involve either of you crying. Be as understanding as you can when you talk to him about it; he&amp;#39;s probably pretty embarrassed. Imagine if it was reversed. If a guy made his girlfriend cry about not wanting to have sex with him as often as he&amp;#39;d like, wouldn&amp;#39;t that make him a total chode?\nIf his problem is actual intercourse, do everything else. A lot. If he&amp;#39;s good to go just shy of penetration, work that angle (puns puns puns!). Rather than straight P-in-vaG, exhaust the sexual playbook. Maybe you&amp;#39;ll pick up some new favorite moves.\nIf you&amp;#39;re both comfortable with it, introduce a vibrator. He should be all about watching you get off.__\nIt&amp;#39;s hard, but try not to make *too *too big a thing of it to your friends.\n__ Let them know what&amp;#39;s going on if you&amp;#39;d like, but try to respect his privacy at brunch with your pals. You wouldn&amp;#39;t want him telling his boys all about your sex life.\nIf it&amp;#39;s really that bad, encourage him to seek help. Depending on the nature of the problem--physical, mental, emotional--a doctor might be the key to solving the problem. He might even need to go to the doctor to see which of those three the problem actually is. Be supportive. What if it was you?\n__\nHave any of you Various Girl Readers been in a situation like this? What was your tact to resolve it?__\nphoto: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
