I know this has been asked before, but H and I are trying to settle something.

Do you wish the number were more or less?

    I wish the nest had a like/dislike button. It would make it easier! Ha!

  • I voted SS since I'm not brave enough for sex yet even though my midwife cleared me. When things are normal I'd say we're a few times a week couple.

  • Ugh, I soooo wish it were more; my drive is just about at zero..  Now that I'm off the pill though, I feel it starting to come back.  You know, in case you all wanted to know.
  • I based my vote on when I don't have a brain spliting migraine. When thats not happening we are like every other newlywed couple
  • I have an insatiable sex drive. My poor H never gets a moments rest when he's home lol.

  • I am so bad at sex, I avoid it as much as possible. We only have it once or twice a month... Because I am really (not even kidding) terrible at sex. It does help with BC though.

  • I voted "2-3 times a month".  I miss sex but I'm soooo tired.  I think sending Sophia to daycare is going to help though.

    I don't even understand how a woman can be bad at sex.

    I wish I could say this.  I had high hopes for when we got married and H only wants once a week, and I would love every day.  Sometimes we'll do twice a week, but not very often.  I expected the "newlywed" thing too, but it's been a disappointment.

  • We had way more sex when we were just dating. Way, way more sex.

    I don't quite know how to explain it... so just trust me on this one.

  • It's been different ever since I got my BFP. There have been so many ideas of being PG in the 2nd trimester and increased sex drive. So not true for me. And now that I'm in the 3rd it still isn't true and the bigger I get the less I want it. We're doing good now to have sex once a month which is insane considering what it was before.

    This made me think of Andy D.i.ck in Old School.

    I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

    I mean like, at least half sex positions require little to no effort from the female side. Just find one that feels good and go with it.

    I simply cannot fathom only having sex once or twice a month.

    I'll put my business out there.  Even when things are good and we're in the same place at the same time, we rarely go more than once a week, and nothing happens when I'm on my cycle, so we average about 3 times a month.  It's just not as important to us as non-sexual touch.

    I didn't really expect it. We really didn't have sex before we got married. I was getting used to a new BCP and it wasn't fun

    Ditto to the bold. Especially the last sentence.

  • Brandie, I'll disagree with Mary a little and say that all positions should require effort from women. I learned all my moves from Skinemax when I was a teenager. I didn't have sex until after HS, but now I love it. I was really self conscious with my first partner because he was 26, I was 18/19, and he was European (lol). But it's about relaxing. Have you thought about seeing a sex therapist? 

    H and I are in the 4x a week camp when he's home. 3 times a weekend and one random time during the week though we don't really see each other. Sex is very important to me/us, but neither of us wants it more/less than we get it.  

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • Mary, it isn't the mechanics of sex that stumps me. It's the more the mental side of it. Somehing isnt clicking somewhere. Stan, I have thought about seeing a therapist actually. I have to find the time for it though.

    I'm so in your boat here.  It's just not the way it should be.  I feel ya.
