My girlfriend never takes the time to initiate sex with me

* My girlfriend never initiates sex. As I have a higher sex drive than her, she doesn’t need to work very hard to get my attention, which means that she never initiates sex or tries to seduce me.

My girlfriend never takes the time to initiate sex with me

It is only when the spontaneous frenzy of first lust subsides that sex becomes a process that requires initiation and, more often than not, it is the man who makes the first move. In my 2012 survey of more than 3,000 people, 56.1% of male participants and 15.1% of females said they always initiated sex with their partner.
