How much sex?

76 replies

Chokehold · 23/12/2016 20:18

How much would you like and your partner?

How much do you get?

.

Twice a day (me), thrice a week (him).

Thrice a week.

I think there's an old fashioned misconception that men have higher sex drives than women. In this day and age it should really have died out. I know lots of women that have higher sex drives than their partners and lots who have lower. All people are different.

I'd go for at least 3x per week but in reality lucky if we do once a week.

DP is really affectionate but just seems to have a low sex drive.

We've been together 5 years and it's been a bit of an issue for us that we have different expectations / desires

Twice a DAY?!

I couldn't be arsed with the faff. Once or twice a week is plenty for me especially with a baby.

Purplebluebird · 24/12/2016 10:05

Shock I'd be very happy with 3 times aweek!

Chokehold · 24/12/2016 11:15

Magpiemay my bf's sex drive fluctuates which can cause issues with us too. I think it fluctuates due to tiredness etc but very easy to feel rejected if you are the one left wanting. Do you have discussions about it?

Twice a day is what I like, could go more though!! But was being practical by putting twice 😂

Having a baby has pretty much killed ours. Once a month maybe

NextInLine · 24/12/2016 11:23

A few times a week, dh would have sex everyday if he could.
We have sex about 3-5 times a week.
We've been together 8years and have three young children, including a 10 week old.

Chokehold
Yes I know the feeling well. It's the biggest and probably only issue that we seem to have. We've spoken about it over the past couple of years... tried to come at it in different ways but it's never gotten back on track to what I'm satisfied comfortable with.

I think it's a really important part of a relationship!

user1480613212 · 24/12/2016 14:35

2x a day? Please don't make me laugh.

WeAreEternal · 24/12/2016 14:42

Usually twice a day, more on the weekend.
We've been together 20 years.
Both have high sex drives and really fancy the pants off of one another. Wink

Chokehold · 24/12/2016 14:48

Magpiemay can I ask how you have talked about it and what outcome came from the different methods. I always seem to end up feeling rejected and unattractive 😒

User why does that make you laugh? Not enough hours in the day or an I don't believe it as fact sort of way?

I haven't had sex since August...
I would like it a couple of time a week though. I do not have time for everyday.

cottencandy55 · 24/12/2016 15:45

Every night we both love it Wink

Janey50 · 24/12/2016 15:49

Who gets time to do it twice a day?! Xmas Grin at dotdash. 'Twice a year is ample'.

Beebeeeight · 24/12/2016 15:59

What a nasty username.

ChocoChou · 24/12/2016 17:07

We aim for every day. But don't always manage it.

ghostspirit · 24/12/2016 17:13

3/4 times a week. But sometimes go ac week or so without

Minivaperviper · 24/12/2016 18:36

In the beginning we didn't count but probably 5-10 tines a day Blush, 2-3 when it calmed down but we did only see each other 1 or 2 days a week so made up for lost time I think.

m17362772 · 24/12/2016 19:01

5-10 times a day! Ouch......

Difficultyear2015 · 24/12/2016 19:08

Been livibh with DP for 9 months and we are on an average of about once a day unless one of us is ill.

We are expecting a baby in June so want to make the most of it as we have been warned that it may not happen so much after baby arrives!

Fireandflames666 · 24/12/2016 19:26

I usually want sex every other day. OH likes it whenever he can get it.

We usually mange three times a week on average.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 24/12/2016 20:07

Bloody hell, everyone is having far more sex than me.

peppatax · 24/12/2016 20:10

I can't say having a baby is always a reason for a slow down - it's fine while they still nap. It's when the little buggers are always awake that you have to be creative!

Chokehold · 24/12/2016 20:13

Good idea for a new thread!

Creative ways to have sex when kids are running riot!!

Loads, we spent 4 hours in bed this morning and I could go again now as can dp from the text she's just sent me.

Disclaimer; we have only been dating nine months so dare say it will tail off
