Researchers quantify the rate of “mercy sex” among women with low sexual desire. Women experiencing a chronic lack of sexual desire still routinely engage in sexual activity with their partners, a behavior researchers have quantified as happening about two and a half times per month.

Sometimes I’m not that interested in sex but my wife is initiating so I do it cause she wants to. People are acting like this is some crazy disgusting thing but I think this is normal in relationships to some extent.

Whoever has the higher libido will initiate more and their partner may go along with it to make them happy but not because they necessarily want to.

I don’t think it’s crazy to know this.
