Really Personal Thread about Sex

It depends on the couple.
As someone who is disabled and cannot "put out" that much, we have sex about once every two months! However, my husband and I aren't very sexual anyway and much prefer being intimate in other ways.

I generally find men want/can have sex almost all the time, and women go through phases which can be down to where they are in their cycle. Like so-
Week 1 - blergh - 'week off'
Week 2 and 3 - wahey!
Week 4 - meh...
Back to week one.

Depends on so many factors. When I first got together with my husband, underwear was an un-necessary timewasting encumbrance

FF 5 years and we've settled down
we can go up to 3 weeks without (but always cuddle, hug, snog [cue: children vomit] and are very tactile) or it's 3 times a day. We make time for each other and I think that communication is the key to a good relationship, it's as close when we "spoon" and just talk. Or spoon and I fall asleep. :rotfl: 0 -
Thanks for all ur input guys.
I have to be totally honest i'm no more clear than when I first asked the question.
It has been really interesting and funny reading some of the replies and to be honest has made my day from all the laughs i've got from this thread. (I can see this turning into one of them reeeeeeeeeeeeely long threads). as the word sex is mentioned in the title.
thanks again0 -

Here's the answer:
At 20-30 years -- Tri-daily
At 30-40 years -- Tri-weekly
At 40-50 years -- Try weekly
At 50-60 years -- Try weakly
At 60-70 years -- Try anything
70 years and over -- Try to remember
Seriously, there's no 'right' answer. You have to decide what suits you as a couple and not argue about it.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
2-3 times a week. I like to build it up so it feels better. Doing it too much e.g. daily would make it more of a chore and I wouldn't appreciate it as much. Of course we still cuddle, kiss etc daily.0
