How often do you have sex?

Hello,

I am curious to know how many times a week you have sex with your partner?

Thank you!

Why do you want to know?

FaFoutis · 01/10/2019 19:10

Do you want descriptions too?

MonetC74 · 01/10/2019 19:11

been together 18 years, and roughly, about twice a week?
It'll be different for everyone, parents with newborns, VS people with no kids, are going to be worlds apart. Whatever you are both happy with, is normal.

Woodlandwalk · 01/10/2019 19:13

Thanks MonetC74 that's really helpful.

Every quarter past the hour

Ohbuggerlugs · 01/10/2019 19:27

Varies, id prefer more though!

magpiecounter · 01/10/2019 19:28

We last had sex may 25th... I don't think we will again if I get pregnant in November when we have a FET 😂

If you aren’t interested in answering why try to be nasty with your shitty comments. There are many good reasons for people to ask. I remember when I was feeling pressured from my ex and being told everyone else is at it every night of the week. Sometimes its good to get a reality check and have that reassurance that u are normal.

donethinkin · 01/10/2019 19:33

About once a year!

Woodlandwalk · 01/10/2019 19:36

Thank you Nursejackie1 I wasn't expecting catty comments like this Shock
Not sure why there is a need to be mean.

And yes I need a bit a reassurance, I think that's it because I've moved in with my partner and wondering whats the norm, if there is such a thing. I'm finding it difficult to work, cook, see friends and pencil in sex Grin and wondering if that's normal or if I can do something different.

Obviously lots of women out there feel the need to be horrible for the sake of it. Nice

I had a lover, but told him for now I'm not interested in sex- just my level of libido at the moment, and because I feel unattractive. What he wanted sexually was very hard work. I have perfectly satisfying sex by myself, probably a couple of times a week.

Please don't do anything you don't enjoy- even the basics. I decided I don't always like giving oral for instance (I also have never liked receiving it, so it's not unfair. :) ) What my last lover wanted was nastier than that...I've resolved never to do anything I don't like or want to do again. I think more people should think of sex this way-we shouldn't do things we don't want just because we feel obliged. Having sex one doesn't want isn't like doing other stuff you don't like to please your partner. It's grim.

Every other day or once every 3 days. We’d like to have sex every day, but life does get in the way.

SillyMoomin · 01/10/2019 19:39

It’s just because you worded your OP like a journalist looking for details for an article

If you’d written a bit more like a human “my dp and I do it 5 x an hour, he wants more”, or “I think once a decade is enough, do you agree?” then people would be less suspicious and answer your question more politely and truthfully.

Plus there is a sex topic for questions like these

FaFoutis · 01/10/2019 19:41

Nobody is being horrible for the sake of it.

DBML · 01/10/2019 19:42

We’ve been together 25 years and only have one child, who’s a teen, so regular sex is very manageable.

It’s not about what others are doing though....it’s about what you and your partner discuss will work for you both.

itsasausage · 01/10/2019 19:52

3-4 times a month probably. life / stress just gets in the way!

SherbetSaucer · 01/10/2019 19:53

At least a couple of times a week, can be up to 5 times a week if we’re feeling frisky! No children (by choice) and DH has had the snip so can do it anytime, anywhere which adds to the fun!

SimonJT · 01/10/2019 19:58

With my ex (who I lived with) virtually everyday. I don’t live with my current boyfriend, so it isn’t really enough for either of us.

It doesn’t really matter how often other people are having sex, it’s about having the right amount for you.

Woodlandwalk · 01/10/2019 19:58

FaFoutis then don't comment ffs.

SillyMoomin firstly I didn't realise there was a certain way you had to write to be acceptable on here Confused secondly I didn't realise there was another area to post.

Thank you to others who have been kind enough to share.

Not sure why there is a need to be mean.

Because strangers asking strangers about their sex life while not first offering up their own personal experience are viewed as perverts.

It happens alit on here where they post like you did then wank off reading the replies.

Maybe add more context to your OP before calling those who you wanted to share their sex life with you a fucking stranger meanHmm

Ratcatcher9 · 01/10/2019 19:59

Together for 20 years. In our fifties. About once a month, if I can face it. Less than that if I can't. Dh would like more. I would like none. Still appreciate a handsome man, but just can't summon the drive to do anything about it. Grin

Woodlandwalk · 01/10/2019 20:00

I think our slight disagreement is that my partner wants more per week and feels he's not doing enough to make it happen and feels I'm not attracted to him. Not the case!

The truth is my libido is lower and I want to increase it. Not sure how.

Feel really stupid for posting this and in the wrong place

OP posts:
Woodlandwalk · 01/10/2019 20:01

Ffs if you think I'm a pervert for getting a bit of advice then either report me or ignore the post Hmm

OP posts:
tisonlymeagain · 01/10/2019 20:01

About 5-6 times a week. Slightly less now pregnant but still at least 3.

Regretsandregrets · 01/10/2019 20:06
