It's truth time.
I've changed my name for this so I can be honest. If you need to change yours in order to be honest, be my guest.

For me ..... Once or twice a fortnight is ample.

There.

hadn't had it for 15 months had a 2 week fling with lots of it in October last year - fell pg with ds .... had it once in December and nothing since ... people seem to automatically assume you're in a relationship if you have a pg belly/ young child .. i wonder why (jokinfg!!!)

This is too nosey

nooka · 11/09/2005 19:01

I guess about twice a week on average. I get worried if it drops below that. dh has consistently been an attentive lover, but over the last year or so (part of recovering from his affair) has become a fantastic lover, so I'm always up for it now - in fact more than him really. Having said that we've also had times when I wasn't interested at all (esp when I was pregnant and when the children were very little), which made him very sad. I would definately advocate sorting sexual issues out early as they can turn into serious relationship issues in time.

Kirstie76 · 11/09/2005 19:06

i agree wholeheartedly with that

IvorHeadache · 11/09/2005 19:07

Prob about 2/3 times a month. I would like to fancy it more than I do, as I know it really makes DH feel close to me. It's great once it is under way, so to speak, but I'm just very rarely in the mood.

Thought lav was back for a minute

Er...as I can't be bothered changing my name....nowhere near as often as dh would like.

WigWamBam · 11/09/2005 19:38

It varies hugely - sometimes several times a week, sometimes it's once or twice a month. When it happens it's always good, and it's an important part of our relationship, but it's not the be-all and end-all so if we don't do it for a month then it's not a problem.

Ahhhh
About once week usually to appease him, although I do enjoy it once we;re doing it, it's just it seems like such a hassle, I do fancy him and he is jolly good at it and all, but ummm, I've lost my va va voom...
I found excuse me for being a little crude, that if you indulge in a little solitary activity (ie vibrators etc)once in a while, then bring what you learn personally about that into your sex life with your DP, then it's easier.
DP is always keen for more and I know he is very patient with my lack of libido, but I think he takes it personally after all is said and done.

dropinthe · 11/09/2005 19:41

Why would it be?

marthamoo · 11/09/2005 19:41

Nah, lav only ever asked - never volunteered info about herself.

I know who bungalowbelle is....

(I don't really - just wanted to put the wind up you!)

marthamoo · 11/09/2005 19:42

One of lav's favourite and recurring thread titles was "how often do you have sex?", dropinthe.

I wasn't around when the legend that was Lavender existed-could someone lavish me with a potted history of her misdemeanors?

NOOOOOOooooo - don't go there !

dropinthe · 11/09/2005 19:47

Nice!

IvortheEngine · 11/09/2005 19:48

IvorHeadache - Clever name. It's rather similar to mine so people might confuse us. Not to worry, though.

bonkerz · 11/09/2005 19:50

Our relationship must be weird then cos i want sex every day and always have done and its DH who avoids sex! Im lucky if i get it twice a week, sometimes more and sometimes less. Maybe its an age thing? (im 26 hes 36!)

bonkerz · 11/09/2005 19:51

BTW have to add, when we do its very good its just i have a higher sex drive than DH. I know in hais previous relationship they didnt do anything for over a year!

bungalowbelle · 11/09/2005 20:01

I very rarely initiate sex and I actually dread him initiating it and have excuses ready much of the time.
When it gets underway it's ok, but not great. I find myself wondering how much longer it'll go on.
He's used to it, but it still upsets him.
