How to deal with “the chaser effect” with a partner?

    I remember when we used to have sex (2 months prior to starting no PMO, currently on day 13) with my partner. When we had sex on day 1, I craved for another on day 2. If I had it on day 2, I would crave for more on day 3…

    Meanwhile I was not a fan of the craving and other side effects (i.e., sexual frustration leading to lower patience and being more sensitive in general), they were there.

    When we had sex on day 1, my gf didn’t have the chaser effect on day 2; thus, we didn’t have sex that day (but I still had the sexual urge).

    My question is if she felt the same chaser effect as me, and as a result we had sex; would it be harmful for our daily lives (i.e., less motivation to do real/awarding work, more mental fog, depression etc.)?

    The reason for me asking this is I wonder if “the chaser effect” is closely linked to “high libido”. If someone desires sex for every day, gets it, and doesn’t see any negative side effects; does this mean that this person has high(er) libido?

    Is this something I and her needs to experiment?

    If I were in your shoes, I'd try to work out a loose schedule. Spontaneity is a huge part of sex, but a regulated method of going about it might ease off the proverbial throttle a bit.

    No. There are plenty of women who desire sex continuously, just like men do. Probably more.
     
  4. When I'm in a healthy relationship, I desire sex every day or more. When my partner at the time was healthy and also feeling the same way, it did not interfere or give us any kind of negative side effects. It was almost like a quick gym session or walk during the day. We could be a bit tired or winded, but it didn't fatigue us or wipe us out unless we purposefully aimed to go a few times in the evening before bed with the purpose of being wiped out and falling asleep after. It didn't consume my thoughts, but I'd definitely think about him during the day and look forward to it and be aroused, but it was similar to looking forward to a fun date, rather than a distracting craving to just get off.

    The connection tended to make us (or me at least) more patient and motivated at work/around the house. We'd play around and mess with each other and things were just fun. It was not the same as my exes have described the impatience of waiting to be alone or for people to go away to get their fix.
