Married Folk: How Often Do You Have Sex?

sex?

Sex? Somewhere, in the mists of time, I seem to have a vague memory of that word! :wink:

If it turns out I can get more sex being married than being single then Id like to propose to anyone reading?

A sex therapist once told me that in a relationship there IS no 'normal'....... because:

if you and your husband ( not speaking of YOU personally) have awesome sex once a month and that is hwat is great for you two, you are both satisfied then that is your ' household norm'. Just because someone elses marriage has lost of sex doesnt mean it is satisfying sex, it also doesnt mean it ISNT..it is just thier household norm.
What makes sex normal for 2 people is the equality of satisfaction. If that is unbalanced then you have no good sexlife.

Good sex is 1% of a relationship
Bad sex is 99%
( so says me )
Think about that. If you are satisfied in your sex life, then it isnt an issue if you dont have it all the time, or for anyother reason.
If the sex is bad it effects EVERY aspect of the relationship.
(( Aint I smart! I thought of that all by my little self))

Oh yeah, how long married? 25 years.

I'm just curious to see how time changes sex in a marriage. This is more like a social study. Yeah. A social study.

well, when hubby and i first met we were at it like rabbits,, coming home for lunch too

now.. well.. rabbits dont exist for old people.

Time is only one factor, but I'd guess that in general frequency
decreases over time.

Mom Nature made it that way. The desire for sex is highest at a time when people are making families. Of course, there are vast differences in desire amongst individual couples, at any age. But in general, the desire for sex wanes as one gets older.

There is nothing like creaky bones and coronaries to put a damper on one's desire for sex!

I think it does get better even as it diminishes...I have much better sex now that I am in my forties than I did during my twenties/thirties.

Quality not quantity :wink:

When I clicked to reply on this post, the number of views was 69...hehehe....sorry.....had to.

Anyway, maybe I should have been more specific in my question. Like, married women, how often do you want sex and how long have you been married?

married for 18 years..so it is only when forced into it..and grizzly bear hormones dont allow for much tender loving care..hahaha..according to dr.phil..so i figure about 2 or 3 times a month..

LOVE your signature cajunbaby!!!!!!

thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do think the desire for sex, or the need for some, diminishes faster in women than men. I wonder why that is. Working in a nursing home years ago one of my patients was 103(male), and he always was asking for some, or a pat or pinch. Whatever he could get. Asking him do you think about it all the time, and his reply was when i am awake. hahaha

oooo you paint a sexy image!

oooo, you DO NOT paint a sexy image....

When I was married, even after 10 years, we averaged around once or twice a week.

But our schedules conflicted, he worked in the day, and me in the evenings, both, M-F.

Lived with partner for eight years (both in our forties) we have sex on average 2 - 3 times a week. Have bigger 'sessions' at the weekends (usually Sat mornings) and mainly 'quickies' in the week. :wink:
