3/4 times a week, dh would like more but with a 4yo and 1yo I'm too tired

64sNewName · 12/08/2019 20:06

Usually 2/3 times a week.

AvengerDanvers95 · 12/08/2019 20:06

I think we had sex in January. It was extremely infrequent before that, but I used to care. Since the start of this year I don't give a shit any more. That would probably worry me if I took the time to think about it. (10 years married, 2 small DC).

MirandaWest · 12/08/2019 20:08

Probably on average about 1.5 times a week

NeverSayFreelance · 12/08/2019 20:22

Twice a month? Three times if we're feeling frisky? We're not very sexual lmao.

(Mid twenties childfree couple)

Not for eight years, since DH had a brain tumour removed - it knocked out his hormones completely and he has total erectile malfunction. We tried all the treatments but nothing worked. At least we can cuddle !

beatriceprior · 12/08/2019 20:31

Once every two weeks at the min!

Kids staying up later because of the summer holidays and we've both been shattered.

We do "bits" at the minute. No opportunity to do anything else.

We go away in a couple of days with kids
So prob no chances then but we have a long weekend together when we get back so prob will make up for it then

annieannietomjoe · 12/08/2019 20:34

Not had any since conceived DD2 - she is 3 months Blushwould like to get back to it but to be honest from since DS1 things have been dwindling...I love and fancy my DH but don't feel great in myself and my DH works all the time so we never get round to it Confused on holiday at the mo and planning to start again...prob the worst married sexlife on mumsnet Blush

Twice this year!!

DH has a very low libido. I cannot bring myself to initiate because I know he doesn't want sex. The lack of sex is the one bad thing in our relationship. I've resigned myself to it but it's caused so many problems for me (lack of confidence / feeling older and uglier than I am etc).

HJBeans · 12/08/2019 21:08

No penetrative sex for over 4 years. My DH would like to, but it’s very painful and my libido is nil since DS2. I’m fortunate he’s very patient, but something needs to happen. Surprised to see so many here who have it so frequently as I’m not that unusual among close friends. We’re all the middle age cliche of young kids, two jobs, tired all the time with the man wanting sex and the woman having no interest at all. Are there really none of us on MN, or do we just not comment on these threads?

genericxx · 12/08/2019 21:09

Once a day- keeps me blood pumping

UrbanMage · 12/08/2019 21:13

Once, maybe twice a fortnight.
Having a non sleeping DD (4.5) and DH who is exhausted from a long commute doesn't help. I'd like more but my self confidence is zero and his libido isn't high.
Which considering he wants another one is ridiculous.

Pre DD it was every few days.

Ellabella989 · 12/08/2019 21:15

It differs every week. Sometimes it will be every night. Other weeks it will just be once a week. Don’t think we have ever gone longer than 7-10 days though. We kiss and cuddle every day

blankittyblank · 12/08/2019 21:29

About once a month. Just so tired all the bloody time and can't be arsed!! Both happy with the arrangement though, we're both tired Smile

kaytee87 · 12/08/2019 21:32

3-4 times a week. We are ttc though.
Prior to that once a week maybe which we were both ok with tbh.

kaytee87 · 12/08/2019 21:34

Should have said, we're in our early/mid 30s and have a 3yo.

RJonezy · 12/08/2019 21:36

Once every 2 weeks or 3 weeks... I'm 27 unmarried ...
