Re: Stolen from S&R - CLICKY POLL

  • p.s. I feel special snowflakes should state their case. :)

  • This is a depressing question for me right now :(
  • I voted 2 but there a lot of weeks when it's 3. It really depends on what's going on, how stressful the week is, etc.

  • I love that people are voting, but nobody's responding! I voted 1, on a good week. That's because Mikey's never home! Last weekend he got to come home, but he brought someone with him so that was a total c*ck block. We managed to sneak some alone time on Sunday afternoon, thankfully. He gets two full weeks off for the holidays though, so hopefully that number will increase with him actually being around.
  • Probably 3-4 and M still complains it's not enough.
  • I voted 3, but definitely wish it was more. But between work, the commute and all the rest of life, I'm too exhausted!
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I'll 'fess up to being SS.  DH is kinda freaked out that it will hurt the baby.  We talked to the dr. about it and it's ok but now I just have no energy.  I'm told that will get better soon so hopefully...

  • I answered once a week. For the past few months it was getting ridiculously predictable.

    This past weekend it was twice, and it made me feel like the best wife ever.

  • I voted 3, and like mofe my DH says it isn't enough either.
  • Pssh, I voted one and that's not enough for me.  DH is working 11 hour days now and when he gets home at 9 or whatever he is too tired and pretty much goes straight to bed.  Sadly, this will continue until the movie is finished in May.
  • It's usually once a week on average. Paul and I don't see eachother awake on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday except in the morning for a brief maybe, 10 minutes.
  • I was starting to feel pretty lame with my one a week until shag reminded me that DH and I have crazy opposite schedules (have from the start) and only see each other for like one hour a night on the weeknights.

  • I voted 5 or more... was I the only one!??
  • Yup, Dandy. Your husband is the husband all other husbands are now jealous of.  How the heck does he have the time and energy while in med school? I'm impressed.

    Curious, how long have you two been with your DHs? Not that it has a whole lot of bearing in the frequency of your sexin', but the first few years for us we were like bunnies. Then, life caught up with us and there just wasn't time. That, and after being on birth control for a few years my libido went downhill very quickly.

    I want to know your secrets!

    Ditto Chrissy! (personally I blame the pill but I refuse to go off of it)

  • 4 years and some change. My husband just turned 24... maybe that has something to do with it??

    And I've been on bc since I was 18... :/

    I meant that as in, maybe he's younger and has a higer sex drive -- not, it was his birthday recently so we've been celebrating.

    This, but I answered none. We've had sex maybe 5 times in the past 3 months. So sad.

  • DH and I have been together for almost 9 years. Trust me, the first 3-4 years we were like rabbits. We were also both students, stayed up all hours of the night and had a lot more times on our hands. Now the whole working almost 70 hours a week kind of gets in the way of our sexin'.

    Ha ha! I love that you thought it might come off as everyone thinking you two were REALLY excited about him turning 24!

    We've been together for 7 years and we're 30 and 31 (although C's birthday is pretty soon). I've never been on the pill.

    But we were long distance for 6 of those years and only had 2 weekends a month. So I think spreading it out over the week still feels like it's not as often. Also, we don't have sex during my period and for a few days after.

  • I answered 3, for the first couple years, it was a lot more.  Now some weeks its 1, some weeks its 4-5.  Just depends on the week at work (more for me than him as he doesnt seem to ever not be in the mood).  I've also been having a lot of issues lately that sex doesnt seem to help that I'm blaming primarily on the fact that the insurance company switched my pill to a generic.  I also think being on BC for so long has screwed up my libido as well.  I can't wait to go off the pill.
  • Zee, I am curious as to why you wait a couple days after your period to get back to sexin'?

  • Back in medieval times (aka the first couple years of our relationship) we were like rabbits. Then I decided to say hello to the pill and goodbye to my sex life... for seven years. I refer to those seven years the Dark Ages. I had zero libido and it is a testament to his character that the mister stuck it out.

    Thankfully after the wedding we moved through the Dark Ages into the period of Enlightenment, also known as the age of the IUD. Hello my name is Choo and I'm a born-again nymphomaniac.

    From Oy Vey to Ole!

     That's actually pretty interesting.

    I'm REALLY hoping this happens for me. I just got off the pill last month and am hoping that my libido returns. How long did it take yours to come back? I've heard that it can take a couple of months.

    Answer me this: Why the he!! did we decide that me going off the pill would be best suited for right when he started his training and would not be home. at all. ever. So, when my sex drive returns, I'll have nobody to share it with. FML.

    It definitely took a few weeks for the urge to come back, but I noticed a definite change this month. I got the sucker the end of September. If you had asked me the whole month after insertion (gross) if it was worth it, I would have slapped you (as I did Alex, many, many times) because I had a particularly bad adjustment period (whole other story...). But my insight at month two? I'd do it all again in a second. I finally feel like myself again and I'm no longer terrified of getting KU. Misson Accomplished.

  • Choo - I haven't been on the pill since, like, soph year in college about 6 years ago. I just got an IUD put in last week. I had a really low sex drive before the IUD. I can already tell it's returned a lot.
