r/DeadBedrooms on Reddit: What does "HL" and "LL" mean to you?
February 6, 2017 -

I read here that's it between a relationship. If someone wants sex once a month and someone wants sex 3 times, the 3 times a month is technically the HL partner, even at 3 times a month.

Do you need to simply want sex more than your partner to be High Libido? Or do you need to have a lot of sex to be High Libido? I'm not talking about sex with your current partner. Just sex.

To be high libido do you just want sex more than your partner, or do you need sex at a certain frequency to function, like three times a day, once a day, once a week?

I find this confusing.

r/HLCommunity on Reddit: Your definitions of HL, LL, and DB
February 12, 2024 -

Reactions to my post yesterday got me intrigued as to what everyone is using as metrics in here. I know the official definition for the sub is HL just means higher. That would imply there could be people in here who want it 4 times a week while their LL wants it 2 times a week. That doesn't seem to be the case with the majority of people though. Perhaps it would take a larger discrepancy than that before someone would bother going on Reddit to find help in the first place. That would be an interesting topic as well as far as how large the compromise gap has to become before frustration starts setting in.

So before coming here, my definitions of these would have been:

HL - someone who considers once a day to be a compromise

LL - someone who wants it less than three times a week

DB - having sex less than weekly

I'm beginning to think these definitions are substantially different than most people's on here. It's seems for many LL is closer to no-L. So then are there HL in here who only want it once or twice a week but consider themselves HL because they are with a no-L. I'd love to hear from people who have been in relationships where there position changed, so they thought they were HL until they met their match, and how did that feel going from being the pursuer to the pursued. Did it help having a more empathetic understanding of what your HL was going through?

A few things to add here - I'd consider there's a middle ground between HL and LL HL and LL don't necessarily mean "high" and "low", they can also mean relative "higher" and "lower". You can have a "lower libido" partner that would still fit someone else's subjective for "high libido"...they're just less horny than you are. Dead Bedroom - There's a subjective use, but there's also an informal clinical definition that generally puts it at once a month or less that does not account for mitigating circumstances. My own definitions would be: HL (High Libido) - When you consider your sexuality a core part of who you are. HLs will want sex in their routine and will actively pursue these plans. They consider sex a normal component of affection and a human need. LL (Low Libido) - When you consider sexuality only in terms of function, i.e. keeping a partner happy or making babies. LLs will not prioritize sex nor plan for it and consider it as something separate from affection and not a basic need. Your libido is a part of your sexuality, developed similarly to your gender preferences - it lies on a separate axis. HLs know from a young age they want...something, even if they can't define it. LLs just aren't that into it and probably never were. This can be mitigated by your home life or environment you grow up in, but is for the most part out of your control.

HL = Needs it Daily Normal L = Wants it Weekly LL = Wants it Monthly No Libido = Never needs it. Happier celibate. DB = Less than 1x/month. To answer your other question, I've never met someone who exceeds my drive. I imagine it must be amazing though. So many different things to try and experiment with. I'd probably hook her up to a remote vibe and play with her that way if she was ever in the mood and I wasn't (which must mean I'm at work or otherwise physically incapable of performing).
