Come on then how of often do you do it? Is the average really three times a week?

BigBadMummy · 26/02/2010 15:45

not a chance.

Once a week and we are chuffed.

MrsMontague · 26/02/2010 15:48

We do it 5 times a week (ish)

It wasn't that often when DD was a tiny baby, but now its usually 5 times a week, never less than 4.

Everybody is different though!

ShowOfHands · 26/02/2010 15:51

Does it matter how often a bunch of strangers 'do it'?

There are as many beliefs as to what is enough as there are people. What matters is your own relationship and the expectations within it, whether they are reasonable and how you deal with any difference in expectations.

Undercovamutha · 26/02/2010 15:52

2 or 3 times a week (although DH likes to pretend its only once a week, in order to prove his claim that he is the most sex-starved man on the planet ).

deaddei · 26/02/2010 15:55

Good grief.
I'm not showing dh this.
He gets it about 3 times a month.

WhatWouldTyraDo · 26/02/2010 15:57

We're at it like knives over here.

thesunshinesbrightly · 26/02/2010 16:00

Surely once maybe twice a day is normal?right?

Malificence · 26/02/2010 16:14

One thing's for sure, the more you have the better it's likely to be.
Apparently out of every 10 sessions, 2 will be mind blowing, 6 will be good and 2 will make you wonder why you bothered .

And sex gets better and better when you're over 40, something for the younger ladies to look forward to.

3/4 times a week keeps a smile on my face, anything more is a bonus.

OhFuck · 26/02/2010 16:18

Bloody hell, DP hasn't had any for nearly a month ... I'm in the first trimester of pregnancy and when I'm not drooling and nauseous I'm asleep. He'll have forgotten what to do with it before my libido returns!

choclab · 26/02/2010 16:20

how is it better after 40 then ?

ginnny · 26/02/2010 16:20

Mal - I'm 39. Can't wait to be 40 now

darcymum · 26/02/2010 16:20

Is that after 40 times in a week?

OP posts:
deaddei · 26/02/2010 16:25

I'm 49.
Obviously goes down hill then

Oblomov · 26/02/2010 16:28

sunshinebright is kidding, right ????????????????????????????????????

Oblomov · 26/02/2010 16:30

I don't think its normal to do it 3 x a week.
One of the mums in the playground said she had to every 2 days = 3/4 times a week. sounded like she was expected to, rather than wanted to.
and everyone was shocked/horrified/ thinking god thtas alot more than us !!

Malificence · 26/02/2010 16:32

40 times in a week? DH would be a dessicated husk on the floor!

We did manage 3 times a day on holiday last summer though.

Most of the 40 something ladies on here seem to agree that sex just keeps getting better with age, it's probably compensation for having your body ravaged by babies.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 26/02/2010 16:35

3 times on average. Sometimes more. Rarely less. DH and I can have a satisfying shag in 10-15 minutes so it doesn't take lots of time.

PDR · 26/02/2010 16:35

Average once a week.

Really can't be bothered !

lilymolly · 26/02/2010 16:35

horror

God about 4 times a year honestly very at those who do it more frequently

TBH I simply dont have the time/energy/inclination

choclab · 26/02/2010 16:36

if you had cream cakes every day you would be sick of them right ?
id rather have them once a week and really....enjoy it ha ha

TheFoosa · 26/02/2010 16:37

I think sex gets better over 40 but only if you have a sprightly young man to keep up with you

That's what I need- a sprightly young man.
Anyone got one they'd care to let me borrow?

choclab · 26/02/2010 16:41

totally knackered most days /nights plus DS creeps in bed all the time ......and DD has regular night terrors ....so its not top of the list ...

sunday mornings are a good slot though

Malificence · 26/02/2010 16:44
