how often do you and dp have sex?

just wondering....my dp thinks he gets it a lot less than other men out there (we manage it about once a week or so), when actually I don't think we are doing too badly really. There are a whole load of reasons that contribute to whether I'm up for it or not (frustration, tiredness, risk of interruption to name just three), he is happy to do it most of the time it appears regardless of his day....even with a risk of interruption from dsc's!

DS's are 3 and 5

Everyone is different and everyone has different circumstances, you can never compare your sex life to someone else's really, you need to just talk to each other about it and come to an agreement whereby you are both happy. Plus a lot of men (and women) will say they are having a lot more sex than they are actually having, see the BJ thread, is full of little exagerations i'm sure :) .

About once a week for me too, but me and DP are both happy with this. I think it's more about quality than quantity tbh Wink

pfftt.
More than one a month, less than once a week.
I think we're both OK with that, but there's plenty of affection between us as well. After 30++ years I'm not that worried about it.

About 15 times a week but then we're both in our 20s, have no kids and have only been together a couple of months. We're also both horny buggers and have found each others' on switches so it only takes one of us to decide they're in the mood.

Feast or famine for us - can be every day for a while or can be few weeks of drought depending on DW's energy/stress/hormone levels, how badly the kids are treating us and of course how much of a twat I'm being. I'd like it every day of course. The more we understand each other and communicate, the more we seem to find a joyous middle ground.

QueenStromba - careful, you might get lynched :) Trying to recreate those good old days with 4 young kids and whilst in our late 30s is proving difficult, although we seem to be in a bit of a good spell at the moment....

I did think twice before I posted that! If it makes you feel any better it's my reward for being patient and helping him work through some terrible stage fright at the start of our relationship.

About once every six weeks. It's always really good when it happens but I'd like it a little more often.

happiestblonde · 10/02/2011 17:50

Oh constantly, it's all we do because we have huge problems right now. 3 times a night usually, more on weekends. It's a wonder I get anything done.
