How often...
It's more than a little personal but I have no idea if this is normal or not. DH and I have been together for 6 years but only married for 3 months. I feel like the frequency of which we have sex isn't normal but he says it is. I'm just trying to figure out what normal is. For others that have been together for over 5 years how often do you and DH have intimate moments?[Poll]
Re: How often...
You're together 6 years. Considering you've been together intimately about 6 years, I say once or twice a week is fine.
What feels healthy to both of you and what the both of you are satisfied with is what is right for you.
Ditto Tarpon -- the "right" amount of sex is whatever the "right' amount for you two. It sounds as if there is a discrepancy -- one person wants it more and that needs to get resolved (with open communication and compromise) before it makes you guys angry and resentful at each other.
I voted 1-2 times per month, but to be honest it's less than that right now. We had a baby 6 months ago and we've only had sex twice since then. It's enough for me but not for DH...I'm working on that though.
Before the baby it was probably more like 1-2 times per week. When we were TTC...maybe 3-5 times per week...
It's variable for us, but there is no "normal" that works for everyone across the board. If you want more sex, ask for more, and try to meet him halfway.
My husband is content with twice, maybe three times a week. I would like it every day, sometimes twice a day. We meet in the middle, about 5 times a week. That's normal FOR US. But I had to ask for more when our daughter got old enough that we could arrange playdates and send her to school, etc., and we had more time.
