How Much Sex? - Eagle Pass,TX

Hahaha you sound just like me and my hubby! We have been married over 5 years, and I still want him constantly! There are plenty of nights where I am ready to go and he says, "no thanks!". If it were up to me, we would do it at least once daily, but alas, it is not. It did get better though when he was discussing my crazy sex drive with a friend one night who complained that he hadn't gotten any in over a month..my husband realized real quick how lucky he was to have me and I got quite a bit more action for a few months..maybe that's why we are expecting number 2... :)

For us it depends on so many factors. I will say, I think most married couples (especially, with kids) do NOT average what you do!!!

3-4 times per week depending. We are both 45, been married 19 years, I'm a SAHM with an 11 year old daughter. We are both pretty much on the same page as far as how often we'd like it.

i kind of hate these questions because it does seem all the nymphos (said lovingly) come out and it turns into a bragging session (and then a lot who won't pin a number down even though that was your question). i mean why? it's not a competition. we do it 2 -3 times per week and honestly i feel this is completely normal. yay for those of you who do it more. it's a choice just like any other. have fun!

Holy sex pot! I thought we did it a lot! You put me to shame.

Sex? OH, sex... yeah, I've forgotten how to 'do it' :(

NEVER ENOUGH!!

My husband works out of town and is only home about 1 week a month if we are lucky. So basically everyday hes in town....but that would average out to about twice a week i guess.

Ive been the randy one on occasion, and sometimes he is, for long stints. It really depends, i seem to be more insatiable when im pregnant, and he is much less during that time.

.

I like what Adansmomma said, and I agree. I really tire of the "humble bragging" sessions on here. Sex drives are different for everybody and you know that, so are you trying to make women who are not able, for whatever reason, to have sex every day, feel like less of a woman than you are? You are even asking your husband to advertise that his wife is a sex kitten to his friends- why?

I'm glad that you and your husband have a healthy sex life. For me, right now my husband and I are going through some stuff so it's not happening very often. Our usual average would be about once a week.

Take care!

well I can tell you for sure that it aint' happening that much over here and I thought we were on the high end of average!! Ha! Shows what I know :P

If I was married, I know it would be every night. I too have a high sex drive. My future husband will be a lucky one ;D

Once a week is a lot for us! WOW 10 times! My DH would be in heaven!

We have gone through many stages with babys hardly at all. Toddlers more than none and with older kids way more than we used too LOL.

I don't know how old your husband is or what his drive is but I would consider you both lucky! It is fantastic to have that kind of drive and to be so attracted to your hubby. He should take advantage of it. Lots of hubby's that don't get nearly enough would probably tell him the same. Enjoy it and enjoy each other.

HA, that's funny. They would laugh at him. And my ex husband said the same thing, I wanted sex too much lol. We had sex just about every day, sometimes twice. I liked experimenting and doing new things (probably TMI sorry). His friends would've slapped him silly had he told them I wanted sex too much and was a "freak". I think it is good that you are still attracted to him after 6 years. Maybe if y'all do something new (but maybe you are already new and adventurous?) he'll stop complaining and yes it feels weird typing that haha.

Me and my husband have sex whenever we both are in mood. But ofcorse there are time when he will be exhausted and tired after his work and me in mood, then i have to hold back. I can't number how many times we have sex, but mostly it is once or twice a week, but there are times too where we just don't have sex for two or three weeks. I am a mother of a 2 year old girl, and our private time depends on her. Most of the nights she sleeps in her crib, but at times she is cranky and would prefer sleeping in middle of we both.

For me sex is important, but more than that the personal bonding and small acts of love..we like to hold each other whenever we watch TV, he comes and hug me when i am in the kitchen, and daily when he leaves to office he kisses me and leave..

You are quite normal. your husband is just lucky that he got you, its just that, when he is getting sex on demand, he doesn't see the value of it. so cheer up lady .... :)

Some of my close friends have teased me too and have said they don't have sex very often, but I think they are fine with that---to each their own. We've been married 10 years and have sex almost every night and some mornings too (unless I'm on). I heard many bad things about marriage and what married intercourse would eventually be like, but we've not had those negative experiences and I have been pleasantly surprised. :)

I think it's a big question of age. I am still very attracted to my husband and he definitely turns me on, but I don't have the sex drive that I did 5 years ago. Whether that just be from running around after 4 kids, screwy post partum hormonal stuff or something else - I don't know. But I know at 24, even with two kids I was in a very similar boat with desire and frequency as you are describing. Now, at 29 with 4 kids, 1 still exclusively breast fed, I'm exhausted and pretty touched out. Hubby still gets it about twice a week (he travels 5 days a week). I keep hoping that heightened sex drive that I hear about at 35 kicks in in a few years. Now what is normal....based on what I hear from my married friends - I would guess once a week.

We do it most night, on weekends it's often more than once a day, though not always, and there's the occasional night we don't, when one of or both of us are too exhausted, not feeling well, or on very rare occasion, when it's just too damn hot (heat index is predicted at 105 today here in MA... sigh) but we're probably like you -- 6-9 times a week. We have 3 children, ages 10, 6, and 2 1/2. We've been together 7 years, married for 4. I'm 39 and my husband is 42. And, I have to say, our sex drives seem to be perfectly matched -- neither one of us has ever had any complaints about frequency... well, except for those first 2 1/2 weeks post partum until I got the okay from my midwife, lol!

That is impressive, girl. It must be good. Once a week for me.

The right amount is what makes the BOTH of you happy. Comparing can make one feel worthless, prideful or anywhere in between. Communication is best. What does your spouse want? What would he/she like to be different? It's really what the other person wants, not what we want. The best part of any marriage is when we know we are making life the best it can be for our spouse. Then imagine how fun it is when you are both still attracted after 29 years of marriage!

When young until my mid 40's every morning and every other chance we could get. I can't remember how frequently but it was matinees, middle of the night and so on.
After I got older there was less only five times a week.
You are quite normal and husband can't complain since you are only young and full of hormones for a limited time. Once menopause comes he's in for a big shock.

Yes, he should not complain. Mine gets once a week. Sometimes I have to make myself do even that, just because I am so tired and my kids are very "on me" all the time and I just want some time to be me and not something to everyone else. Course we have been married together alot longer too..12 years married, almost 14 together.

I have been married for almost 11 years and have 5 kids.....The average for us is about 4 times a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. We have the same sex drive. As you get older you start to slow down and the man needs more time to recoup! LOL ;) Things change so enjoy it while you can!!!!

Wow! I feel like a total loser! I have a more active sex drive than my husband and twice a week is about all I am interested in. Good for you (natural happy chemicals that are released). Sex is good for people so keep it up if you two are both fine with it. As embarrassing as it is to admit, we only have sex about once a week. Sometimes less, if we have company in town. When we do, our emotional bond is better for at least a couple of days. I just get sick of initiating all of the time. My very close friend is a "once a weeker" too. Even though her husband would like it every other day.

I think we average between 6-10 times per week which is a lot more than pretty much everyone that I know well enough to discuss their sex lives. Yes, I would say you have a higher sex drive than average. Another huge part of the equation is to make the time for it. Around here if it comes down to emptying the dishwasher or having a quickie, we go for the sex.

we try for every other day, lol! So 3-4 times a week. He works nights now, so it's harder, at least until school starts back up again then we will have time in the mornings for it, then it can be more often.

7 times a week here! And if I weren't working I would be getting some when he came home from work too LOL

That seems like a lot and hubby may be tired. You didn't mention an age for him so I do not know. A lot of men would be happy because usually they are the ones who complain about not getting enough.

Women, to me have the stronger sex drive as they age and men's seems to diminish.

Wish, I had your sex drive. Would make my marriage a lot more pleasant. I work a full time job, and my husband is going to school. We both get up early, and are just too tired to be intimate. He's lucky, if we have sex 2 times a week. My sex drive decreased, when I got pregnant with my son.

Yes, you are on the high side of average (based on what I recall of my college human sexuality class). Enjoy.
