To want to know about your sex lives?

I sometimes worry that our sex life isn't as good as it can be. I personally think it's fine, but often wonder if it's 'normal', so I'd love to be nosy and ask a few questions.

How long have you been with your dp/dh/dw?

I've been with mine coming up to 3 years

How often do you have sex?

We have it on average 2/3 times per week

How many different sexual positions do you engage in?

Four for us - missionary, me on top, doggy and spoon

If you're not happy, you're not happy and you need to talk to your dp.

If he doesn't listen, you've got a problem.

That's all that matters. Doesn't matter if a load of randoms on the internet are happy with missionary once a fortnight, or swinging from the chandeliers three times a day. How does that make you feel any better?

One thing I will say - NEVER underestimate the importance of sexual satisfaction in a relationship. It's SO important.

Unless you're an HHT, in which case mine involves goats, lime jelly and a taser.

A happy sex life is one that is mutually satisfying for the people engaged in it - not some kind of comparative tick list.
I agree with Tawdry that satisfaction is crucial and with that goes a respect for each other's libidos. Nothing worse than being expected to perform when you are just not that in to shagging - or being endlessly frustrated by your partner's lack of desire.
Talk to your DP not us!

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 21/10/2013 19:20

Not had sex in 2 weeks, I'm jealous op.

Been with DH for about 10 years

HopeS01 · 21/10/2013 19:44

I'm very jealous Blush I'm single

phantomnamechanger · 21/10/2013 19:48

well we have our ups and downs but I have to agree with the others, what is right for one couple is not right for another and if you are not satisfied you need to talk, not dwell on it and worry or seethe to yourself, but talk to your DP and try to spice things up a bit

TiggyD · 21/10/2013 19:48

Mind your own business you perve! Grin

My sex life is just for me, the other people involved, and the audience.

RevelsRoulette · 21/10/2013 19:50

It honestly doesn't matter what the rest of the world does. You don't arrange your sex life so that it is in sync with everyone else's!

All you will get from this thread is that there are those who have sex twice a day, those who haven't had it for 20 years, those who have complicated role play with scripts and dress rehersals and those who do it on the bed with minimal noise and moving and one ear listening out for the kids.

Grin

None of which helps you one bit because it's what you want from your sex life that matters.

LEMisdisappointed · 21/10/2013 19:54

22 years, have sex 3-4 times a week (sometimes more Blush) sometimes less - i get grumpy if its less, i like the intimacy. What we actually do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,like im gonna tell you Wink

TEErickOrTEEreat · 21/10/2013 19:56

I've been with my husband 12 years next week. We've been married for 9.

The rest of your questions I won't be answering but will say it satisfies us both and that's all that matters.

RachelBerry · 21/10/2013 20:00

We've been together 7 years, married for 4.

1-2 a week, but I'd like more. DH works long hours and is often pretty tired.

All the positions you named, plus 'the other way' for a treat Grin

Lots of roleplay, fantasy talk etc.

It's whatever works for you!

KirjavaTheCorpse · 21/10/2013 20:02

Are you fishing for funny little quotes to put on Buzzfeed? Hmm

Purplehonesty · 21/10/2013 20:02

Been together 12 years, probably have sex about once a week on average but then we only share a bed maybe three nights a week due to shifts. And most of those I am knackered from running round after the kids and not sleeping.
We probably do the same as you but not me on top.
It's ok but not mind blowing - used to be very good but children got in the way!!

TheCrumpetQueen · 21/10/2013 20:05

4 years.

Not enough. Twice a month? More time for his games than me.

Been together over 20 years, three kids all 16+.

Have sex about once a week, sometimes far less (it's been about 3 weeks since last time actually Angry). I would like sexual contact of some kind 3-4 times a week ideally, but DH has a much lower sex drive. I try to be understanding but I do struggle with this.

What we do; always oral to start (for him, I don't like it) and then I get on top. It's always good. We have a collection of toys that we enjoy using. We partake in bumfun occasionally but oddly this has only begun in the last year or so! Blush

Don't really do any other positions, we have found what we like and stick to it; sometimes missionary or reverse cowgirl just so we don't forget how!

" mine involves goats, lime jelly and a taser."

Thank God. I thought it was only us.Grin

hiddenhome · 21/10/2013 20:28

I find WD40 generally does the trick, but it can sting if you get it on any cuts.

livinginwonderland · 21/10/2013 20:30

Together 8 months. No kids. 4-5 times a week.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 21/10/2013 20:35

I've been with DP for 25 years. We have sex less often than you anna
I'm much too old and sensible to answer your other questions.
