I've told her that she probly will begin to get horney, and that part of her maybe just hasnt fully developed yet. Her boyfriend has told her that it doesnt matter to him, but it just really frustrates her. Does anyone hknow what might explain this? is what i've told her probly right?
Yes, you're right. Having a low sex drive at 16 years old is not something that she should be worried about. This is perfectly normal. She's too young - and she may feel insecure because of the extreme amount of sex in advertising and the media. Until the 20th century, many girls in the U.S. didn't have sex at all until marriage, which was usually over the age of 18, with a high percentage being over 20.

According to the medical literature that I've read, most women do not reach their sexual peak until 35 years old - which almost 20 years from now for her, so tell her she's got plenty of time.
