Happily Married.....Sex Every Night?

It’s the quality, not the quantity that counts. So don’t even go into that kind of competition talk about how often. (She’s probably lying, anyway)

I completely agree. My reply was how do you sustain the excitement? How do you not burn out and not reduce quality?

You do “foreplay” all week!

Touch her during the day, kiss her neck when shes at the sink; foot rubs when watching TV; bring flowers; have weekly date nights, whisper loving and then sexy comments in her ear, cook for her, text her with suggestive remarks, cuddle in bed without expecting sex, spend time seducing each other. Build up the entire “event” and when it does happen, it’s exciting.

Of course, she should be playful all week, too.

Of course it is not "weird." As was said earlier, your wife's friend is probably not being totally honest. But even if she is, who cares how often someone else is having sex? How often you have sex is not a good indication of a couple's relationship health.

Never compare your relationship to someone else's. Because you never have all the facts. And what seems great (Wow, she says they have sex every night!) may mask all kinds of problems.

Forget about that and go straight to the cigarette.

Hah! I am 62 do it most nights and mornings. If life has taught me anything its that "normal" means almost NOTHING.

There is an expansive continuum for most things. My advise is find someone you are compatible with.

How old?

In my head, I'd like sex every day, but in practice, I think it could get old pretty quickly. I tend to find sex is better when it has been a few days in between & we're both well up for it. The worst thing is my wife just going through the motions to keep me happy. That's a real turnoff for me. In that instance, I'd rather she just say & if I was really horny, I'd just have a wank instead.

Somehow I doubt your wife's friend is having as much sex as she claims, but if it is true, then it sounds like both partners just have very high sex drives. Good for them! As long as you & yours are happy then I wouldn't spend another moment worrying about it. You are most likely in the majority of us who get it say three times a week on average. Some may be less than that & both happy too. Whatever suits.

The benefits of sex on physical and mental health are well established. So why not take advantage of it every day?

Dude, that's a personal thing and you shouldn't think about someone's life. Sex is a thing that depends from 2 people at least. If you and your partner feel that's enough so why not.

I agree, if you and your partner are happy then that is AWESOME!!! My spouse hasn't touched me intimately in 15 years, so you are doing great!

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with that. According to psychologists, with each year lived together, sex becomes much less common between husband and wife. And from the side of psychology, this is considered absolutely normal.
We are all human, we can saturate at work. And we may want to come home and just lie down and relax without sex.
