DH and I have been together for nearly 6 years, on average I think we DTD 2-3 times a week which I have no complaints about, though my sex drive is a bit higher than his so I would be happy with a bit more frequency!

Probably a few times a month. 1 DD together 15 years.

About every two days. I would be happy with twice a week. I'm constantly fighting him off!

Married 17 years, 2 dc young adult / teen who never leave the house, neither of us can be bothered much anymore (!) Maybe once a month, sometimes less than that.

I was in a marriage like this before and I got so fed up with it we ended up divorcing.

Oh I meant it in a fun way. He is lovely and it's nice he finds me so attractive and sexy. He always takes no for an answer and never pushes or sulks!

Same here. These threads always bring out the frequent shaggers and then I feel slightly shit about myself

Instead of feeling shit, I feel relieved that I don’t have to bother with that palaver ever again. Gosh, every day? Who can be bothered with that? 🤣

That’s great and it’s nice you’re okay with it, but personally even with that sort of sentiment it would drive me insane. I don’t like feeling someone wants something from me all the time.

Never - and we're both perfectly happy.

Oh god we’re 46 and dp 50 3 kids between 7-14
i mean we can go ages like a couple of months sometimes even longer
we are both really lazy and cba which suits me and my menopausal can’t muster up enthusiasm state!!!!!
neither of us have ever had a high sex drive tho to be honest - our relationship doesn’t rely on that
He always jokes and says if I can’t be arsed to sleep with him him then there’s no danger of me having an affair and he is right 🤣
