So we have had threads about how little sex people get after having kids, but how many of us have a very erm.... good sex life?

once a month if he is lucky. Can't be arsed - too tired

ChipButty · 27/02/2008 21:12

At least once a week. More in holidays as less stressed/tired. Would like more but he's an owl and I'm a lark...

StripeyMamaSpanx · 27/02/2008 21:14

Er, I do at the moment. Three times this morning in fact.

But averaged out over the last three years its waaaay less than twice a week.

dippydeedoo · 27/02/2008 21:15

2-3 times a week sometimes more especially if im a deep sleep and in an easy access position ...

OrmIrian · 27/02/2008 21:17

Well it depends whether you think quantity is the main factor in a 'good' sex life...

ATM about twice a week. For the previous 10 yrs or so, about once a week if he was persistent enough and didn't mind me falling asleep half way through .

chipbutty - that owl/lark thing is an issue for us too. He can't cope with mornings, I'm asleep by 10pm.

K999 · 27/02/2008 21:18

Oh brilliant thread.....!!!!

Every day, somtimes more than once......

Lulumama · 27/02/2008 21:18

I have no complaints whatsoever.....

well,i am always telling everyone else to have sex and nipple stim !

cba · 27/02/2008 21:19

yes, we also have an owl/lark situation too. dippydeedoo, does your dh just hop when you are asleep? Im afraid i would go ballistic i hate being woken up.

K999 · 27/02/2008 21:21

Should explain....I am in my 30's.....sexual peak and so am rampant.....even when I put the machine on spin I get a bit turned on (no I am not sitting on it)

I have great sex....think DP does as well but tbh I only have one aim every time and that is to have the biggest orgasm I can.....otherwise whats the point?

dippydeedoo · 27/02/2008 21:21

cba i was joking lol ....well at least i hope i was ....nooo hes always asleep earlier than me ....

cba · 27/02/2008 21:33

oh dippy, was just about to take my hat off to for the energy you must have. I keep meaning to wake when we are asleep and give dh a surprise, i know he would love it. But, i wake and am just too knackered to follow through.

cazboldy · 27/02/2008 21:43

no complaints here.....usually 3 times a week, sometimes more.

IMO you can't have too much of a good thing

If dh had a "normal" job, we would probably do it twice a day, every day, like we do on his day off!

and we have been married for 10 years, together for 13, and we have 5 dc.

nzshar · 27/02/2008 21:52

My drive has just come back after an absence of 5 years or so. DP had a vasectomy 4 months ago which allowed me to go off the pill. This month we have had sex more than the previous 5 years put together and its good sex too

wuzzlefraggle · 28/02/2008 12:08

great sex life here. Normally around 3 times a week (sometimes more) and it's damn good! lol

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 12:12

Sometimes every day, sometimes twice a day, maybe every other day but always at least twice a week.

Its goooood sex too

Married 12 years but been together for 17 years and have 5 kids.

OverMyDeadBody · 28/02/2008 12:15

Thanks to a wonderul friend I have an amazing sex life with guaranteed satisfaction!

Out of curiosity, do you always aim for the one orgasm or get more out of each sesh?

magnolia74 · 28/02/2008 12:23

I aim for one but am pretty greatful for two

LadyJogsAlot · 28/02/2008 17:11

once a week for us and i always come at least 3 times.

quality ladies, not quantity.

HuwEdwards · 28/02/2008 17:13
