QOTD

Has your sex life/drive changed since you've gotten married?

Re: QOTD

  • Not really since we've gotten married, but for sure since we started dating. There's been too many life changes for us, and it just isn't what it used to be. I think we're definitely making more of an effort than we used to, though, and are slowly starting to get somewhat of a sex life back.

  • I agree with Snoopy.  When we first started dating, it had been a long time for both of us, so we went at it like rabbits.  Once we made up for lost time, it settled back down in to a fairly regular 2 or 3 times a week.

  • We didn't live together for the first 10 months, so I'd have to qualify the question to when we started living together vs. when we got married.  Since we were in a STR before marriage/early marriage, Friday nights and weekends were definitely a spike in activity.  Now that we live together, it's different, but not in a bad way - just a little more routine since we know what nights we go to the gym, etc. and things happen around our schedules a little differently.  Still good, still enjoyable, still newlyweds.

  • I'm with snoopy and rebaann.
  • I also agree with Snoopy and Rebaan.

  • We're both so insanely tired at home all the time... I hate to say it, but sex definitely gets swept to the wayside too often. We're like once a weekers.
  • We were long distance for a time, so when we were finally in the same city, we got rid of the distance deprivation. Since then, I'd say ditto rebaann on frequency, but that happened when we moved in together; not much has changed since we got married.

    This is us now.  I am finally just starting to get my sex drive back since having the boys, but seriously DH and I are so tired that it kind of gets put on the back burner. Sad

  • Ditto others... it hasn't changed since the wedding but it's definitely less frequent than it was during the early months of dating.

    I think our bedtime schedules are messed up. Need to fix that.

  • It's always been the same for us. Since I we only see each other 1 week out of the month, we are steady. Every morning and every night, sometimes in the middle of the night.

    Ditto...though since we lived together for 5 years before we got married, it was like this pre-wedding too...so it hasn't really changed. 

    However, now that we are TTC, it picks up a lot when I am nearing ovulation--not super romantic, no, but fun Smile

  • We had a lot of sex like 4-5xs a week minimum until I got pregnant. Most people say they love pregnant sex, maybe it's the triplets but it hurts, and it sucks, so we haven't had sex since wow maybe September beginning-ish when I asked my doctor WTF was up with the pain.

  • Since we got married, we have sex more often than before the wedding. It's not that our sex drives changed, it's because we didn't live together until we got married.

  • Since we waited until marriage, it has definitely changed.  At first it was all about trying to find what works for us and I'm surprised at how quickly things became comfortable.  Now it's just an issue of making sure we're both in the mood around the same time.  For some reason, I still have a special place in my heart for out-of-town 'adventures'

  • We waited for our honeymoon... so while we were on our honeymoon it was like 4 times a day.  No we are so tired all the time for our different work schedules that weekly can be the most we can hope for.  He wakes up at 7 AM for work; I get home at 1 AM.  Sad but true.
