Just curious how often people have sex. Been in relationship for long time. Thanks

Usually 2-3 times per week. Been together 8 months and had a rather long dry spell before that so enjoying it very much Wink

Bl00dyhell · 03/02/2014 21:23

Twice a year if I'm lucky.

Anyone else think we have an issue
:)

McRoo · 03/02/2014 21:37

Blimey! You must all have a lot of energy to be doing it 2-3 times a week. We are lucky if we get to it twice a month at the moment. I'd be happy with once a week!

Fairylea · 03/02/2014 21:41

Average about 3 times a week. Used to be every day (both high sex drives) for years and then ds came along and we are both shattered... Some weeks not at all now, sometimes everyday again!

cjel · 03/02/2014 22:00

Last time 2 and a half years ago when I left H

BaconAndAvocado · 03/02/2014 22:05

Once a week.

Been together 10 years, married 8.

DH would definitely like it more often but I'm usually tired/falling asleep on sofa or just don't want it. Quite why I don't want it, I don't know.

I wish I could get my sexdrive back! After having our 3rd child I think it got dislodged.

shey02 · 04/02/2014 00:12

2 years, not living together, but still every day if we see each other, or every other day, or couple of times a day if we're kid free.

With my ex, god, could go weeks with nothing... started to think it was me, but I think I have proven to myself that I still got it!!

Compatability vs incompatability.

fruitandbarley · 04/02/2014 00:39

6 month old baby so about once a month. To be fair wasn't that much more before, as we both work long hours. Been together 9 years. First few years was twice a day, but didn't work crazy hours then. Can't be arsed now but still chat all night and lots of hugs and affection all the time.

1974rach · 04/02/2014 00:46

asgard you deserve a medal!!

Up to 5 times a day?? where do you find the time?

Grin

ps please don't tell my OH - I'll never cope!

Mrsantithetic · 04/02/2014 00:47

Twice since I was 3 months pg with dd who is now 16 mo. The second shag resulted in ddc2.

Shock

PatrickStarisabadbellend · 04/02/2014 00:49

Once every 6 weeks if that. I'm 31 and this has been going on for 10 years. Sometimes he actually washes.
I'm fed up.

Mrswellyboot · 04/02/2014 00:52

Once or twice a week. Married two years with five month old baby.

yummytummy · 04/02/2014 10:03

Never. Am single and its driving me crazy living without sex

bearleftmonkeyright · 04/02/2014 10:12

We have gone through long periods of no sex, but we did it 4 times last week. It really varies. I have been with dp 20 years and we have three kids. It can be really tough if you don't do it very often and it has made me really upset. We do have issues.

Branleuse · 04/02/2014 10:19

Probably 3 times a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less

stripeygreensocks · 04/02/2014 10:30

Probably 2-3 times a month. Been together 13 years, 3 dc. He works till late most nights and we do have a few issues ( well I do, he thinks all is peachy)

justgivein · 04/02/2014 11:03

Twice a week or twice a month .Dp friend advised not to give Men too much,keeps them keen,maybe right because a real treat when it happens.

UnionofMultitaskers · 04/02/2014 11:12

Once every 2-3 months. Is that bad? I'm ok with it, I think he is?

Writerwannabe83 · 04/02/2014 12:03

Nowhere near enough Hmm

Our longest space between having sex was 8 months Hmm We then did it as we wanted to conceive and have done it once since (currently 32 weeks pregnant) So 4 times in 15 months Shock

badbaldingballerina123 · 05/02/2014 00:32

Every day , and more if I get the chance .

KatieChooChoo · 05/02/2014 00:36

once or twice a week, depending on mood. Having a toddler and working shatters us both out and neither of us want to see sex as a chore so we dont pressure each other.

jester68 · 05/02/2014 07:24

Well used to be once a week. sometimes less often than that. But a few weeks ago we had some problems and talked about a load of things.

And both of us agreed having more sex was important to us both.

So now 3-4 times a week. Sometimes more and sometimes less depending on tiredness etc

jester68 · 05/02/2014 07:24

Oh we have been together nearly 12 years and have 2 children aged 7 and 2.

bornagainatheist · 05/02/2014 08:24

Have not had sex since my DW fell pregnant over two years ago. Even then it was once a month when her fertility monitor said so (I hoped she would take longer as I was actually getting sex again) So a grand total of five times in five years..count yourselves lucky! its slowly killing my spirit.

brokenpurpleheart · 05/02/2014 09:51

I think this sums up everyone ..... There is no normal. Love this clip.
