This one is pretty much for married people: My wife and I have been married for four months. We've settled in to our sexual rhythm, which is about once or twice a week. Mostly we're too busy with our differing work schedules and the fact that it's hot as balls in So. Cali right now to our low frequency. When the sexual aspect of our relationship started, we were having sex about 4-5 times a week, and I think we peeked at about 10 times one week. This slowed down as sex became regular and I hesitate to say we take it for granted, but it's just another aspect of our relationship. I think if schedules allowed, we would still have a frequency of about 2-3 times a week. What are your numbers like? Do your schedules conflict? What about libido matching (my wife is usually horny in the afternoon, about 1 or 2 pm, I'm good to go in the morning about 8 or 9)?
We have three kids and very busy lives but we usually have sex 2 times a day, sometimes more so I'd say.... 14 times a week, usually more because there always seems to be a day we get more in, lol. Our libidos match... usually both of us are always up for it whenever we can (in the early morning be4 kids are up, at the kids nap time in the afternoon, then night time). I am a stay at home mom so our schedules def. don't conflict.
I cannot say from personal experience but i asked two very close friends of mine and they said that they had sex 5-7 times a week. --kidd--
My husband and I have been together for 10 years and have three young children together. We average 2-3 times a week, sometimes more. For the record, as I think age can also play in the role of how often couples have sex, I will be 28 years old next month, and my husband, 32.
There were other things going on in my second marriage, which meant the sex was sporadic at best. Sometimes we would make love 2 or 3 times a day, sometimes we wouldn't for a few weeks.Before we got married we would make love 3 or 4 times a day, whenever we were together really. With my first wife we would make love once or twice a day.
I don't think age has anything to do with it. I will be 40 this year and my husband is 42. We have been married for 19 years and we still make love all the time. Probably 8 or 9 times a week. Every chance we get really. We are very much in love with each other still. Things have even gotten better this past year.
I've been married for over 11.5 years now, and while I'm not comfortable going into details I WILL admit that... DH's libido has always been and still is far more active than my own. I'm 30, he's 32, and we're both waiting for his to slow down & mine to speed up and praying that we can "meet in the middle" for a few years of bliss. Parenting has really put a "cramp" in our love life though. After 6 years of being pregnant/breastfeeding and 10 years of cosleeping with one or the other of the kids we finally have our bed (and bodies) to ourselves again, and that is helping immensely. love, mom
True, but do you have three young children to care for? Parenting young children can totally wipe you out emotionally as well as physically. My husband and I are young, but man, we're so wiped out half the time!
We have 3 children as well. They are 16, 14 and 12. We had some slow years but never non existant or close too it. I can relate to being wiped out. It does get better as they get older. We had our children early so we could enjoy life while we are still fairly young.
Jer and I have been together for 5 years, he is 29 and I am 26. At first we definitely had more sex than we do now. For the past year he has been working the exact opposite shift as I have, I do days and he works nights. So, we had only about 1 1/2 days together at best per week, and that is assuming that our friends and parents didn't take that time from us. So, we averaged this year about 2 times per week. Since we've both quit our jobs (we are in the middle of relocating and have 3 weeks off between jobs) we have had sex pretty much every day! However, I really don't think that the amount of sex you have as some people here have suggest has a baring on how much you love each other. We are very deeply in love with each other and we simply could not fit sex in. Neither of us feel any differently though. We don't use sex as a measure of our love for one another. While it is amazing to express our love that way, it isn't the only expression of our love.
