well our 'new' norm is a lot more frequent that our 'old' norm. Old norm was 4 or 5 times in about 6 years

New norm.........well - 4 times in the last month (and that includes AF coming in the middle of it, having to share a room with the boys while on holiday and me working 3 nights a week!!!).

It's a good job I'm sitting down else I'd have fainted just writing that down!

Well I would like to think I have a rampant sex life - but thats actually a figment of my overactive imagination. Probably averages really about once or twice a week. Sunday particularly good day in that atleast we're both in the same house. Three kids = very fond of my bed - just for sleeping in!

notasheep · 13/09/2006 16:42

once a month at the most

badkarma · 13/09/2006 16:44

Can be anything between four times a week or one time a week... depending on our children, Dh's schedule and my evening commitments... I wish it was before we were married, then it was every time we met up

Pfer · 13/09/2006 17:07

As little as I can get away with never been the same since I had DS1 (now 4.6yo) so I'm not that bothered, but I usually give in 2 or 3 times a week if DH gets really agitated.

multitasker · 13/09/2006 17:10

Men and women just sooo different on this subject. Know DH would drop his pants at the faintest chance of a quickie - I'm more of a slow burner sadly.

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 13/09/2006 17:12

of course my DH thinks all his birthdays have come at once this last month - I think we've now equalled the number of times we did it in the previous 6yrs LOL.

superwomanStitch · 13/09/2006 17:12

we dont

NotAnOtter · 13/09/2006 17:12

its the people who do it a lot who reply to these threads

Pfer · 13/09/2006 17:14

So is 2 / 3 times a week a lot then? If it is that means I can cut back and tell DH he's lucky to be getting what he gets so quit the moaning on and on and on and on and on........

sleepinbeauty · 13/09/2006 17:17

yes 2-3 times a week IS a lot, we used to do it every day when we met, now just once every 6/8 wks or more...

Pfer · 13/09/2006 17:21

Hurray!!!!! I knew he was getting too much!!!
Thing is he's one of these stupid men who thinks if you say know you can't possibly love him anymore. Gah!!

juicychops · 13/09/2006 17:53

Most days sometimes twice. but we have only been together 8 months so still in the honeymoon period

rosebea · 13/09/2006 17:56

we've been together nearly nine years and we do it far more now than we used to. It's probably about 4-5 times a week, some days not at all and others 2 or 3 times in the same day......not bad after all this time
But then there's some thing a man washing up..........(sighs whistfully)

franyfroo · 13/09/2006 18:27

about 2 or 3 times a week, but only quickies, as its all i can stay awake for! more on holidays though, usually every night, or more

southeastastra · 13/09/2006 18:29

morning, noon and night

mell2 · 13/09/2006 18:31

i last did it on friday, but i dont have proper partner , so dunno when it will be again

pinkchampagne · 13/09/2006 18:37

It used to average around once or twice a month.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 13/09/2006 18:53

Several times a day when we are together, which is most days. I have a really high sex drive

glastocat · 13/09/2006 19:04

I think it would be more intersting if people said how long they've been with their partner.

I spent the first 18 months with my bloke in bed, shagging constantly. :D Life outside bed was a pain, eating, working and all that got in the way. The next few years it went down to every day, then 3-4 times a week. We were together 9 years before we sprogged, and were probably twice a weekers by then. After I sprogged I had PND, so nothing for ages. Now we're probably about once a month after 14 years, which I feel guilty about as I do fancy him, I just can't be bleeding arsed. . So all you people feeling smug now - just wait - these things can change. /voice of doom/

emkana · 13/09/2006 21:36

how can you manage to do it more than once a day when you have children? Or even once a day?

morningpaper · 13/09/2006 21:38

(I don't know emkana, do they all have nannies or something?)
