How often do you have sex?

DH and I have never had a very active sex life but since having DS two years ago we've only had sex three times! Is this normal? I think we'd both like to have sex more often but perhaps only because we think we 'should'. Is it the same for everyone or is everyone else shagging like bunnies??

but what if someone wanted to have lots of/frequent sex but didn't fancy sex with their partner?

Hmmmm, now there's an interesting thought!!!

Empress : i suggest doing it with your partner and closing your eyes and imagining someone else!!!

I miss sex!

it's been nearly a year now, being pregnant and single didn't help and now i'm sharing my bed with a 3month old baby!

Once a week suits me fine. Unfortunately, like most men, dh would like it a lot more.

Once or twice a month> dh has a low drive i would do it every day ( especially now that we both want a nother babe) he thinks it comes from the trees!!!!

Jolly - I'm afraid I'm real, but not anything like as lovely and perfect as I appear to have made myself out to be.

Our son is youngish - early school years (I don't want to give too much away in terms of detail because I don't especially want to make it to easy to work out who I am, and more to the point who my DP is), and he is pretty much all we have time to have in common any more.

Once in a blue moon, literally every few weeks we'll snatch 20 minutes together other than that useless time at the end of a working day when we're both snappy and too exhausted for words.

As for sex.... she doesn't like being touched or hugged, and I have had all sorts of theories why, that she's gay, that we don't know each other any more, that she is having an affair..there's another factor I can't talk about... but the long and short is that I love her, very very much, and if this is the best I'm going to get out of the relationship, I'd rather have this than anything else with anyone else. That's not to say I don't look at other women, and daydream, I do, but surely that, and "being resigned" like this isn't completely unique.

If there was a Dadsnet I suspect I'd be one of many, though being blokes we'd play poker with it, outdoing it by seeing who's gone the longest without...
