A mismatch in sex drive between partners can lead to relationship friction and breakdown.

“And one h as say, a sex drive, which means a n interest in sex and maybe proclivities for diversity of sexual experience. Let's say if we just for sake of this example, we put on a one to 10 scale, that person is a two. Okay, now let's say the other person in the relationship-- Andrew Huberman: 10 being the greatest? Paul Conti: Yeah, sorry. 10 being the greatest. That person is a two. Now let's say the partner is an eight. Okay, so there's a big mismatch there, you think, how does that normally go? The two stays a two, the eight stays an eight, and things don't go well.”
