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.

Maybe you need to take the bull by the horns and tell him how he can make things better for you, bb. If he isn't hitting the spot then perhaps he needs to be told what works for you and what doesn't.

Twice a week, sometimes 3!!! Week before I am due not once as we usually aren't speaking!!!

kelli22 · 11/09/2005 20:43

feel for those of you who are not getting as much as you want or enjoying it, we probably do it about 3/4 times a week depending on how busy we are etc, its much harder now im heavily pg but we still enjoy each other im really gonna miss it when we have to stop for a couple of months... oh well ill probably be too busy anyway

helsi · 11/09/2005 20:44

bungalowbelle sounds a lot like me! I can't be bothered TBH. He initiates and I have excuses too. Once or twice every fortnight is enough for me but dh would want it every other day. Not sure how I became pg recently TBH!

I can confirm that this name bears no relation to my 'real' MN moniker.

Kidstrack2 · 11/09/2005 21:33

About 3-4 times a month sounds terrible doesn't it! Sometimes I feel we should be at it all the time because I'm 23, but then again I'm lying in bed with my head buzzing thinking along the lines of: did I bring the washing in off the line, did I close the kitchen window, I must remember ds packed lunch for school oh and Iron his uniform etc etc sometimes I wish I could switch off and then on again!

QueenOfQuotes · 11/09/2005 21:34

The truth?

Well I can count on one hand how many times in the last 5 years !

kelli22 · 12/09/2005 04:14

Kama, im due a baby any day so will be needing some recovery time and probbaly be quite busy...

crazydazy · 12/09/2005 10:01

Do you then wait for your six week check before you have sex?

We couldn't wait on both of my children's births, I think we waited about a week!!!

Hermione1 · 12/09/2005 10:03

Depends on my mood, good week everynight almost but can go for weeks without. so to average it out say about 2-3 times a week if he's lucky, lol.

Toothache · 12/09/2005 10:06

At the moment.... once a month..... maybe.... . DH goes through phases of just not being interested. We're not getting along that great the moment anyway.

NotActuallyAMum · 12/09/2005 12:43

Most days, and we have done since we met - but then again we've only been together 15 months so it'll probably drop off...

NotActuallyAMum · 12/09/2005 12:44

PMSL at what I just said

Needless to say I didn't mean that literally of course!

Vaunda · 12/09/2005 12:45

every night and some mornings but we are still relatively newly weds.... so that could wear off.

Toothache · 12/09/2005 12:48

GOOD GOD! Even when we first met it was only 2 or 3 times a week!

Ulysees · 12/09/2005 12:53

sex, what's that???

crazydazy · 12/09/2005 13:13

Jesus Vaunda, I feel a headache coming on just imagining that!!!!

How long had you been together before marriage??? I have heard of the "honeymoon" phase though!!!

Still don't think even on our honeymoon we would be at it every night though!!!!

I think if you haven't done it for awhile (say a week) and then you do it makes it more exciting!!!!

crazydazy · 12/09/2005 13:14

It will drop off if you carry on like that young lady!!!

kelli22 · 12/09/2005 13:35

crazydazy - i waited 3 weeks after id had my dd im hoping it wont be too long this time but its hard to tell without knowing what the damage will be - ouch just thinking about it sends me funny ahh well at least my gorgeous baby will be here soon!!!

Listmaker · 12/09/2005 13:57

Hate to brag but me and my dp have only been together a year so we did it 3 times on Saturday alone (and he's nearly 48 so age is no barrier!!). I expect it to drop off in a year or two but hopefully just down to 2 or 3 times a week. I am far more into it now I'm in my forties than I ever was (and I was always keen!).

QueenOfQuotes · 12/09/2005 14:04

crazy - she's been married 2yrs

gingerbear · 12/09/2005 14:35

Listmaker 'I expect it to drop off in a year or two' PMSL

Listmaker · 12/09/2005 14:45

Yeah I just re-read that and realised it hadn't come out quite as I intended . Let's hope it doesn't literally drop off!! That would curtail my fun (well and his more of course )
