SEX...come on guys-how often do you expect/get it?

Sorry to invade the mens room, but think I need advise from a male point of view, & women if they want to add....

We average 2/3 times a week, but that doesn't seem to be enough for my dh. He doesnt say so-he's just moody about it, which infuriates me.
Although we have a great sex life, sometimes I just feel pressured which ends up putting me off. To be honest I dont think any guys will understand this but Im sure plenty of women will.

He sends me texts throughout the day-asking if Im up for it? Just recently I told him Id prefer it if he were more spontanious & wished he let me initiate it sometimes. It worked well for a while, but like most women I know I could go a week without sex & not be too bothered, but my dh is. He watches porn on the pc but only when Im at work in the evening. It bothered me at first, but I just sort of got used to it & put it to the back of my mind, & admit to watching it on my own too.
He was away last week for few days & the first thing on his mind is sex! We had sex on that night, then 2 nights later (which I initiated), then the following night he send me a video on my mobile phone of his willy with the message saying "do you want some of this sexy" I acnowledged it as a laugh because I really wasnt in the mood for it, but he spent the rest of the night with a face on him.
So Im feeling rather tedious & pressured about the whole "sex thing" now.

But to be honest we are a really loving couple who have been together for few yrs with 2 kids aged 9 & 3. We are very kissy, touchy, feely people.

Am I overreacting or is he asking to much of me.

ok, this is depressing reading. we're more like once a month but dh would be more like once a day, so i'm the problem! just can't be bothered . anyone else out there who is in the less frequent camp, but has been too shy to post so far?

Flamesparrow · 27/09/2006 21:59

I've only just refound my sex drive noonar.

Planning on jumping expat - been sending a few texts... he's meant to be consoling a friend on her crappy love life, so it might be being a bit distracting

mustrunmore · 27/09/2006 22:00

Is this a good time to tell you that Flame's dh is lovely??!!!

morningpaper · 27/09/2006 22:00

Tamba are you ovulating today?

fattiemumma · 27/09/2006 22:01

i've not had sex in 2 years!!!
why do you think i workl for Ann Summers? lol

Flamesparrow · 27/09/2006 22:06

pmsl MRM!!!! He's not wearing makeup today though

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 27/09/2006 22:12

I dont think you ovulate on the pill so probably not.

Alexmom - Ds1 is at school. DS2 has a very long nap (3 hours!) of an afternoon.

I only have the boys for 4 days then H has them so on those 4 days I have all the time in the world.

mustrunmore · 27/09/2006 22:23

Ok, but Flame, dont show me a non made up pic; you'll dash my impression of him

Flamesparrow · 27/09/2006 22:35

You implyin that my DH is less than perfect without eyeliner????

(Hopes MRM forgetting just how enthused I am by the made up look... )

jasper · 27/09/2006 23:38

Tamba how long have you been with your partner?

mustrunmore · 28/09/2006 08:27

Of course not, just a bit too young

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2006 09:28

He is NOT 12!!!

Didn't get back til stupid o'clock last night, by which time I was exhausted

noonar · 28/09/2006 09:46

fattiemama, you have all those toys to play with tho, dont you!( lol at the cone thread!)

mustrunmore · 28/09/2006 11:55

How old is he then? I never found out. TBH, he'd have to be at least 40 for me to be interested in anything other than an aesthetic way

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2006 12:27

He's 28

mustrunmore · 28/09/2006 12:48

No he isnt. Looks such a baby face...

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2006 13:14

lol - you sound so decisive about it!! Found a pic of him holding DD and you wouldn't believe he was old enough for it to be his child!

HappyDaddy · 29/09/2006 12:21

I never expect it, nor get humpy or miserable or shitty if i don't get it.

I hope for it most nights but am glad and feel lucky that my dw wants it most nights too. We usually have it a couple of times a week, we're too knackered most of the time.

Us men can be very immature and selfish at times.

expatinscotland · 29/09/2006 12:27

IME, if a man is getting good and frequent sex, he tends to think the relationship is great.

HappyDaddy · 29/09/2006 12:38

Expat, believe me regular sex is only a small part of what makes a good relationship for me.

It does help paper over the cracks, though!

DH seemed very offended by that comment I'm guessing it isn't true for all men.

duvet · 05/10/2006 12:41

tamba does your partner not work either, if I had kid free time with my hubby in the day then I reckon I would be having a lot more sex too. You've got it good to have so much freetime. We used to when dd1 had nap, but now she is at school only mornings and dd2 only has about 40 min nap! I'm looking forward to when they start school full time, my hubby can nip home in his lunch hour, I miss afternoon sex it's my favourite!

cowmod · 05/10/2006 12:43

oh dear
this thread is not a veyr good idea at the moemnt whne you srcoll down

expatinscotland · 05/10/2006 12:43

I'm still jumping DH's bones at every opportunity.
