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!

Once a week, been together 11 years and have an 18 month old. Honestly I’d be happy with once a month. I’m exhausted from work and looking after DD and sex is way down my list of priorities.

winniesanderson · 01/10/2019 20:14

Once every couple of weeks roughly. A partly cosleeping, still breastfeeding 1 year old and a recently sleep dodging 9 year old mean it's tricky. Plus since the youngest came along we're shattered 😂

Before I was pregnant with the youngest it was more like 3 x a week.

OccasionalNachos · 01/10/2019 20:18

About 3-4 times a week at the moment - less than I’d like, but I am 5 months pregnant & quite tired.

Interestedwoman · 01/10/2019 20:19

I don't think you worded what you asked wrong at all. xxx People fear that sometimes (usually male) pervs come on here just to get off on women's answers. People are I think also more suspicious because a journalist recently used the board for content.

I didn't know there was a Sex board until recently, either. People could just post the link as their first response, rather than having a go.

Have been with DP for 5 years (we don't live together). Every 2-3 days but would gladly do it several times every day. When I was married, it was only to conceive the DC, and fortunately I became pregnant first go every time less frequently.

Thornhill58 · 01/10/2019 20:20

About once a week. We've been together 30 years. It varies over time.

Groovee · 01/10/2019 20:21

Varies. As we've both been ill the last few weeks it's been once a week.

Other times it's 3-6 times. We have no pattern as dh can work late, I can be out and being home together for spontaneous sex can be difficult.

Teenage daughter hears everything too. She thinks me moving in bed is us at it and starts bellowing! 😱🤬

sheshootssheimplores · 01/10/2019 20:25

I would say 4 or 5 times a month.

doublebarrellednurse · 01/10/2019 20:28

6 years together and I'm pregnant. 4-5 times a week mostly led by me 😳

henchmen33 · 01/10/2019 20:29

You've also chosen a nickname that sounds like perfect swingers or dogging material

Crazycatperson · 01/10/2019 20:33

Feast or famine for me as sometimes I'm a moody, hormonal bitch

OnlyYellowRoses · 01/10/2019 20:47

New relationship for me so currently as much as we can in the one night we get together each week 😁 I'm sure the magic will wear off eventually but at the moment I'm making the most of someone who seems to think I'm some sort of goddess!!

itchyfinger · 01/10/2019 20:51

Pre kids 3/4 times a week. Post kids (who are 3 yo) twice a month

SherbetSaucer · 01/10/2019 20:55

Seems the emerging theme here is kids ruin your sex life! So glad we’re not having any!

FinnGermey · 01/10/2019 21:09

Pretty much once a week, at the weekend when we have the time. So always planned and never spontaneous in the week as we rarely get to bed before 11pm and up at 6.30am.
That's what's it's like for us with work, kids, exercise etc

catsandkid · 01/10/2019 21:33

Early 30s with a 3yr old. We manage about 3 times a month. Used to be at least 2-3 a week pre-kids but stressful jobs, child rearing and general life have caused it to decline! I also kind of went off sex for a while after I had DS and whilst my libido is back it's still probably not quite what it once was!

BarbedBloom · 02/10/2019 00:49

Together 5 years, usually every other day. Sometimes it can drop down to twice a week if we are both tired, or go up to once a day if we are on holiday. Both high sex drives and no children, which is why we have so much time!

starfishcoffee · 02/10/2019 00:53

Together just shy of 3 years. We have a 1 year old. We probably average 4 x a week. Sometimes more, sometimes a lot less.

Mrsmummy90 · 02/10/2019 01:02

We have a 20mo and 9 week old so it varies. It can be 2-3 times a week or we can go a couple of months without and barely notice. When the dc are older and less exhausting, I'm hoping it'll be more consistent.

MummaofFurGirls · 02/10/2019 02:01

Together 20 years (I'm 36, DH 41) no kids. Maybe once or twice a month...

LoreleiRock · 02/10/2019 02:23

Why is this not posted in the sex forum OP? Is it because you are a new poster so can’t post there? Even mumsnet mods are wary of threads such as this, because of what has happened in the past. If you can’t see that, then I am going with journalist or pervert.

Fishcakey · 02/10/2019 06:41

Once a week. I would do it more, OH would do it less! It is hard when you've been at work all day to muster up the enthusiasm (late forties and knackered!).

catalystc · 02/10/2019 06:47

Every day for about a week when I'm horny and then nothing for the rest of the month. I'm either really horny or nothing.

Fisharesexierthanme · 02/10/2019 07:06

It would be really helpful if people gave s mini bio as the length of relationship and whether you have dc etc can be relevant
Married 25 years
No dc
Sex 2x a month

Sadiesnakes · 02/10/2019 09:09

Not fresh from netmums by any chance, op?
