Married folks chime in

I was under the impresion that once a person gets married, he or she will have all the freedom of having sex with his / her partner whenever he / she wanted.

Ok, makes sense. But the issue is that, by chance, I was discussing about sex with other couples which I asked how many times a week (on average) they had intercourse. My jaw dropped when I heard numbers like once a week or once every two weeks.

I thought it was only one couple so I asked another couple and they had a similar answer. I could not believe it. They are all married fo 2 to 4 years (I am 3 and a half).

My numbers are once a day on average with triple sessions over the weekends. I was sure that my case was on average considering the amount of years married, and it took me by surprise when i discussed it with other couples. They told me my case was rare.

Any comments? Are the people I asked rare cases? Is my case rare?

At this point I have no idea!

You are one crazy horndog, good for you!

I've been married just over four years. I can honestly say I don't keep count, it kind of ebbs and flows. We are trying for baby number one, so yeah we've been giving the Sleep Number mattress a work out.

You are probably at the stage in your marriage where you haven't quite noticed that you are getting less. You will get a spike when your wife decides its time to have a kid. Once you get to the point where there are either too many kids in your house or your wife decides she doesn't want any more kids your sex life graph will fall off the chart.

I went from having 1 kid to 3 overnight. My life?

Yeah right. I wish. Throw a kid or two into the mix, kiss your sex life good bye... Even when I was living with my wife, maybe once or twice if I was lucky.

You are not in the normal range. Been said, kids will bring about the biggest change. You will go 60>0 pretty damn quick with kids.

What was the joke?

Something to the effect of, Women have found a new form of abstinence: Wedding Cake...

If anyone can find it, its probably better than the poor attempt I just made.

Hate to break it to you, but you're the rare case here.

Most people I know who have shared this info, and including myself, are on the 1-3 times per week schedule. Depends how busy everyone is and what is going on... but that seems to be the norm. FYR, this ranges from young couples in their upper 20's to some in their mid-30's to high 30's... so it's consistant across the board and age seems to have little to do with it.

If you're getting it 11 times per week count your lucky blessings and never let her go... b/c she's more machine then human!!

Sex becomes a "get it when you're finished the 400,000,000 other things you've got on your plate" event.

By the time we put the kids to bed and we've both finished the projects were working on, we're typically too tired to do much of anything else.

Although it's been peaking lately as the wifey is looking for baby #3 Time to sleep on my stomach.

I am always tired at 11 pm, after I am done with all my stuff. The wife is also tired. But I always convince her with tricks. I am sex-addicted for some reason.

The joke also goes "Why are women always smiling at their weddings? Because they know they've given their last blowjob."

You are not the norm.

That's always a good joke... but I find it to be much less true then the frequency of sex decreasing...

Not even married yet and it's down to once every 2-3 weeks. I still can't get the first kid out of our bed- I don't know what we're going to do in 2 1/2 months when the second one comes. Sex is out

Seriously...

I don't think I could PAY him to have sex with me every single day... in fact, I know I couldn't, because I've tried.

Whenever you want? Yeah fucking right. It's more like, "Now that we're married, I don't feel the need to save your feelings by giving you a pity fuck, so if I'm not into it, well, you're screwed. Just not the way you want to be."

I can be waked up at 3 am with a nice BJ and I wont complain at all. I think Sex > Sleep in my book. Works very well when I am stressed.

I think that it also depends on how involved the sex is. If it is only 10-20 minutes foreplay and all (God forbid) then once per day would not be insane; however, if you have 1.5hr sex sessions, then three times per week is good and a complete workout.

Oh, no, the quality ones usually over the weekends only. Not enough resources (time, energy) to do that during the week.

I feel better now

Glad to hear I'm not the only woman in this position... I was starting to think maybe I'd turned into a one-man slut or something.

Thank you for chiming in with a female perspective. This is not just women, gentlemen. I have to jump through hoops to get some and, quite frankly, I just don't feel like I should have to. I'm 29 and (i like to think) a fairly attractive woman. One would think I could get it any time I wanted---not so!!!

Also, sometimes I think I dont get enough.

So we have mixed responses. Men say that the problem are their wives and women say that the problem are their husbands.

Ive heard of these things, they call it orgy parties nowadays. My downstaris neighbor (who is mid-20s) was telling me thats what chicks do nowadays.

Is this something new from the newer generation?
