That’s it really.. how often do you do the deed and how long have you been together?

We used to have sex most days but it’s got less with each child, down to about once every fortnight if we’re lucky 😂🤞🏻

Wow such varied answers!!

(Sorry if posted in the wrong place or if this question gets asked a lot 🙈)

I’d love to know how people keep it up with kids & years down the line, slightly jealous of those who DTD 3/4 times a week, that’s where we used to be at!

We have 3 under 4 so no energy and there’s usually a child in the room 😂

with @Momtot 's DH? Most days, whenever get can pop out

JesusAteMyHamster · 18/02/2021 21:38

Everyday pretty much.......bit creaky after 25 years mind you 😉😂😂😂

looselegs · 18/02/2021 21:47

Been together 25 years....
After all that time we're lucky we're still talking,never mind having sex!
( We do though, about 4 times a month)

AllMyPrettyOnes · 18/02/2021 21:52

Only about once a month lately ...

I just find it to be so much effort, even though I know DP would like it more.

Chattydoll · 18/02/2021 22:12

Once every 2/3 days. We’ve been together 16 years.

Fiona2020 · 18/02/2021 22:14

Probably 3/4 times a week. Depends. We just had covid and had to isolate for 10days together so there was a lot more Blush

ShouldIgonow · 18/02/2021 22:18

Once a month - prob should do it more and I think we would but we’re tired of being together 24/7 lol (lockdown) and young kids & been a stressful time with jobs. We always orgasm etc after 17 years we know how to do that for each other at least!

Magnificentmug12 · 18/02/2021 22:22

1-2 a week normally.

Since kids are constantly home with no school, twice a month if we’re lucky and they are sleeping in.

peaceanddove · 18/02/2021 22:23

Been together nearly 30 years and still have sex several times a week - and at least once a day if we're on holiday (remember them). We just still really fancy each other a lot, even after all this time.

Abracadabra12345 · 18/02/2021 22:26

Twice a week, he’d like it a lot more and I’d like it a lot less so this is the compromise we can both love with. We’re a lot older than pps here though. I have absolutely no desire to become someone who has it 3-4 times a week but good luck to those who do. 😁

SplendidSuns1000 · 18/02/2021 22:26

At least once every day. Been together 5 years, married nearly 3. We've definitely not lost interest because we keep things spicy Grin DH working from home has definitely helped...

Doggybiccys · 18/02/2021 22:27

@Userguaranteed

Oh we've been together for 60years but we have a Benjamin Button situation going. Only we've stopped at the teenage phase. So life is good.
Yeah right. You are (presumably) 70 plus and doing it ever couple of hours. GrinGrinGrin
Sammiesnake · 18/02/2021 22:34

Most days, unless one of us is ill/ over tired or something. Brush teeth, get into bed, cuddle... Grin

oakleaffy · 18/02/2021 22:38

@Unhomme

With DW, once a week.

With DGF, twice a week

Your Grandfather? that's gross!
Sweet666 · 18/02/2021 22:39

2-4 times per day depending on the day and how busy etc

Shelovesamystery · 18/02/2021 22:40

Some weeks it's 5 times, some weeks it's once. It really varies depending on how much we've been working, how early the kids have been waking up, period etc. We both want it pretty much every day but just don't have the energy. Together 13 years, 2 young DC's (5yo and 2yo).

thepeopleversuswork · 18/02/2021 22:41

Every time I see him, which is two days a week (we don’t live together).

I am certain if we lived together it would be less.

Madtimes78 · 18/02/2021 23:09

We’re doing it right now, whilst I type this

Summerunlover · 18/02/2021 23:11

He never wants it’s been 10 months! Together three years, I would have it every day if I could!

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 18/02/2021 23:29

In terms of trying to up your game, DP and I operate on an organ donor type basis - it’s an “opt out” rather than “opt in” situation for us!

The expectation when we go to bed is that we will, but if either of us isn’t feeling it then we’ll let the other know at some point in the evening. It may be that one of us isn’t feeling 100% or we decide we’d rather watch a bit more TV if we’re too tired (although quite often we end up doing that and THEN get upstairs and do it anyway Grin )

We have candles in the bedroom and joke that lighting the candle makes it legally binding.

MonsterMunchPaws · 18/02/2021 23:38

I’d say probably every other day or third day although sometimes we can go a week without depending on work stress / tiredness etc. Also sometimes it’s just a case of scratching the itch without any of the theatricals but in the main I still really enjoy it. Together 13 years married for 8.

Kottbullar · 18/02/2021 23:48

Not as often as I'd like because we don't see each other all week so we make the most of it and have a lot of sex at the weekend.
It makes me happy, afterwards I get the euphoric feeling I really wish I got from exercise.
We've been together for nearly 24 years and have 4 DC

crystalcherry87 · 18/02/2021 23:56

Most weeks we'll do it around 5 to 6 times except my period week. And we have nights where the kids are unsettled or we're too tired and then it's usually 4 times a week.

GreatOak · 18/02/2021 23:57

No, not unreasonable to ask: there’s no pressure to reply. Smile Have not for over a year and it tapered off way before that. DP’s on anti-depressants, and both of us working so hard we never feel like it. We do still love each other... but the passion has gone. Both in our mid-40s, together nearly 15 years. I often feel sad about it and want more, but not badly enough to leave or cheat on him.
