UPDATED- horizontal polka
Ok, so the Weds. post and talking about sex, got me thinking. Now that we're in full swing of being married and back to normal life that doesn't revolve around planning/paying for a wedding, how many times a week do you and Hubby get it on?
In the weds. post, some of us were saying how we don't want sex 24/7 while others were saying they want it more than hubby.
So fess up ladies (if you care to share). How many times a week, and who usually is the one wanting it more?
[Poll]
Re: UPDATED- horizontal polka
Since we are TTC, I have been tracking when we do the deed. On a normal week we do it about 3 times, with him for sure having the higher desire than me.
On a week when I'm "fertile" we do it probably 5-6 times.
I enjoy it, but I don't need to have it all the time and with hubby wanting it all the time, it starts to feel more like a chore.
can you make this a clicky poll maybe so people whomight not be comfortable talking abotu this can participate?
i will say that we do not do it as often as we would like, but i think both of our libidos are being smothered as we are so tired and in a serious rut as i mentioned before.

We have the maritals 2-3 times a week. Last week, we did it five times.
H wants it more than I do. I initiate about 1/3 of the time.
Fairly recently, we weren't having sex that much, but I started "letting it happen" even when I wasn't really that into it and we've settled into our happy medium.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
i agree!
we also don't do it as often as we'd like to, but certain things are affecting that right now and we know it will go back to normal (for us) hopefully soon
Due to our schedules it's very hard to do it during the week. But when the weekends come around, it's on! We'll do it about twice on Sat and Sun
making up for lost time.
Not nearly enough. I'm doing homework for my college classes almost every night and by the time I'm done, I'm just ready to go to bed or if the thought does cross my mind I'm so tired I couldn't do much more than poke H in the arm and attempt to give him a meaningful look.
Am I being too TMI if I ask what you all do to initiate?
It seems too blunt to just say 'So, we gonna have sex now?' but my being subtle doesn't always work out either.

Honestly? If I'm really in the mood, I'm usually in bed before Ivan so I'll just take all my clothes off and let him realize I'm naked when he climbes under the covers with me. That always works haha
With him, he just gets really touchy feely or he'll say something like "let's go upstairs and get changed in comfy clothes" when he gets home from work and one thing will lead to another...
We usually do this lol.But I've not been feeling well lately so it hasn't been happening much, or at all really. I hope I start feeling better soon.
TTC since 08/2010
Anovulatory since at least 12/2010 (probably longer, unDx)
Dx PCOS 3/2012
SA 5/25/12--normal
June 2012--50mg clomid+TI--BFN
July 2012--50mg clomid+Ovidrel+TI--BFN, lining at 5mm
August 2012--5mg femara+Ovidrel+TI
We have code - we say, 'want to put the dog in the crate?' since she otherwise sleeps on our bed.
Yes, this is definately TMI. No, just kidding. On the weekends when I wake up and we're both in bed I rub my bum up against him and that's his cue. Sometimes I give him "the look" and it means are you ready, let's go to the room. Other times I'll kiss him and he knows what it means. The rest of the time he initiates it.
First of all, I'm glad to see that no one has selected 6+. I'll have to share that news with J b/c he thinks we're the only couple in the world that aren't doing it every day! Oy!
second, we're not romantic or anything like that. By that, I also mean that we usually don't mess around with foreplay. That's more on my end though. I'm a "get in and get out" kinda gal. I know what works and what doesn't and I just get right to it. since we're TTC, our saying has been "So, ya wanna go make a baby??" Yeah, i know...... but like i said we aren't romantic or anything like that.
Not nearly enough... I really want him to get another job so that we can 'see each other' more. Now he works most weekends and often gets home after midnight when I'm asleep already. I sometimes resort to leaving him notes to wake me up for it.
Being subtle doesn't work with DH, so when we are home together I just ask him straight out.
All of the bolded part. And Jeremy hates my "get in and get out" attitude too. Oh well but glad to know I'm not alone in all this mess.
