How often are you and your husband intimate?

Normal is different for each couple. I think he brought it up to you wrong, but I think he is trying to tell you he would like to have sex more frequently. Maybe bring it up again with him and have a kind discussion.

What do I WANT? 3 to 4 times a week. What is realistic with 3 toddlers right now? Once every couple weeks at this point.:woman_shrugging:t3:

My man works 2 jobs. He leaves at 4 in the morning. Has been getting home around 230 3 the past few weeks. Gets up at 4pm and leaves for his second job. Gets home around 950 pm eats and goes to sleep. We have sex as little as not at all each week. Or 1-2 times a week. If weā€™re lucky and things work out we can have it 3-4 times. Other then that is usually on the weekand nights lol weve been together for 4 years almost

I dont think itā€™s appropriate for anyone to say what is ā€œNormalā€. Every relationship is different. My husband does not get to dictate when we have sex. So for him we donā€™t have enough sex. We have been together 10 years married 3. I also work fulltime and have 3 kids and he never has a schedule. As of late it has been much less frequentā€¦ almost none existent. At times it was every other day.

We have sex almost every night, been together almost 14 years

I wish I could get it 3 times a week at a minimum :rofl::rofl::rofl:

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and we still have sex 5 to 6 times a week the only time our relationship wasnā€™t like this is when I was pregnant with my twins
And at that time I didnā€™t want to and he dealt with it

Honestly most of the time me and my bf go a week or sometimes 2-3 weeks between sex. Twice a week is alot for us and only happens if we both have free time and get to relax during the week. If itā€™s been stressful or one of us is overworked it doesnā€™t happen

Almost everyday ā€¦. 21 years .

Depending on how long the couple has been together, most of these women commenting are also forgetting your pregnant so that might slow you down as well. Matter of fact that might slow him down. I think on average if your with someone more than 7 years 2 times a week is ā€œnormalā€. Again that is also not factoring in work load,children, and being on your periodā€¦

Whatever works for your relationship! No right answer here. If heā€™s saying not enough sex then maybe you need to have a deeper conversation about what your feelings are, sometimes even if shallow lack of sex can break up a relationshipā€¦ he wants you more often than you do him itā€™s making him insecure maybeā€¦ again just have a deeper conversation! Explain to him that you are extremely hormonal your body is changing and youā€™re not feeling 100% yourself and comfortable either maybe itā€™s just a bad season pregnancy is tough.

Since Iā€™ve been pregnant my husband and I only do it like once or twice a month :grimacing::grimacing: but before pregnancy we were doing it about 2-3x a week! Weā€™ve been together for 9 years.

It depends on what is going on in our lives we have been together 14yrs married for 9 years. There are weeks that we have sex 3 or 4 times a week but there are times that we dont have sex for a few months. It works for us.

Hereā€™s the thingā€¦ you canā€™t compare to others. Each relationship is different because each persons communication, ability and willingness to meet the others love languages, health, and hormones are different.

Statistically speaking though I believe itā€™s 3x a week.

I love sex every other day. My partner- is not high in libido lol he prefers like once every week. Most of the time he will compromise and do it once every few days. I love sex tho thatā€™s the problem. Iā€™m a submissive woman and my last relationship he was a dom. I was so used to everything sexual, my new partner itā€™s crazy itā€™s not the same. I dont mind it, itā€™s just different to adjust to. But weā€™ve compromised and met in the middle with the sex stuff lol if it was up to me Iā€™d wanna have sex every day :rofl:

13 years together.
3 to 4 times on a bad week.
Usually every day or every second day.
Anything less than that and I get grumpy.

I think sex needs to be a priority for sure.

Shouldnā€™t be comparing other relationships. My ex did the same deal but said we had to do it daily or more than once a day. That was a miserable relationship. Iā€™ve been with my current husband 9 years and at first it was weekly ( he lived 2 hours away and only got to see him on the weekends) . Then when he moved in it may have been a couple of times a week. Then there was a month we maybe did it 1x. And what is he going to do when you arenā€™t advised 6w no intercourse? Force you to do it anyway making your feel guilty like my ex did. Iā€™ve had 3 living and 2 angels and my now husband has always waited the 6w if not longer if I needed. I would say sexless would be maybe 1 time a year if that.

On a normal week, about 1-2xā€™s a week. He just turned 40 and I am turning 30 soon. We have two children ages 7 and 3.5 and have been together over 9 years. Sometimes itā€™s more, sometimes itā€™s less. It all depends on a lot of factors going on during that week. But even if we arenā€™t having actual intercourse, we make it a point to be intimate with each other everyday even if thatā€™s just an extra long hug and we just hold each other in a quiet room for a few minutesā€¦

It depends but to be honest itā€™s a rare week we donā€™t have sex every day and if not we make up for it on the weekend. I have a toddler and pregnant. We make time and effort for each other.

Once or twice a week. We also have a rule in the house that we offer the other one sex and if the answer is no then, we are free to take care of it ourselves, if we wish.

For the most part we are at least 3 to 4 times a week. Some weeks itā€™s more, some weeks itā€™s less. We didnā€™t have kids this past weekend and Saturday and Sunday alone we did it 3 times.

We have 3 kids between the two of us and we have been together for 4.5 years.

It honestly depends on the couple and their sex drives/work schedules. And if you have children. Currently we are doing it twice a week probably. Sometimes more. Sometimes only once :woman_shrugging:

Well you are pregnant, you would think heā€™d take that into account. Normal is whatever you and your partner are satisfied with. He obviously wants more and is not understanding SMH

Age & # of kids plays a role- dont underscore either. Plus career/job schedule & responsibilitiesā€¦

Background- we are both 48 & both work full-time. Heā€™s a director in software design- primary breadwinner. Until recently- I owned & operated a brick & mortar kids shoe business. Had 3-5 employees at any time. So I essentially worked 7 days a week even if not physically in rhe store.

Weā€™ve been together 12 years, married for 10. Kids are 8 & 4. Prior to kids, we were 2-3x a week. After kids, we are 1x/month. Just too tired. Plus I was diagnosed w Lupus while pregnant w our 2nd. Kids are horrible sleepers so Iā€™m going on 8 years of not enough sleep. No libido when the only thing you want to do in a bed is sleep.

Hubby & I are very much still in love & have a good marriage. I support his need for more sex. So porn and a sock given the situation. I simply canā€™t do any more than I am right now. We know itā€™s a situational thing & weā€™re in it for the long haul.

Me and my man go weeks with out sex Iā€™m also 5 months pregnantā€¦ things are just different now that Iā€™m pregnant and he respects that. You should talk to him and let him know how you feel.

Been with my guy 10ish yearsā€¦ Still canā€™t get enough of him lol

Ohhh boyyyyy! This is a tough question because there is no correct answer you canā€™t force yourself to ā€œbe in the moodā€ especially when heā€™s acting like that. Donā€™t feel guilt. Itā€™s okay to have different sex drives. Of your partner takes issue itā€™s good to communicate about it. But that being said YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO HAVE SEX WITH A PERSON JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP. YOU ARE NOT THEIR PROPERTY!

I donā€™t think there is actually a number that is normal. Itā€™s all on the mood. Me and my hubby can do it once a week or we can do it every day of the week and we have been together for 10 years. itā€™s all on what works for you guys. Never a certain amount just as long as you both are happy.

Must be nice. I havent had sex in months.

Slap him round the face with a condom and tell him if he used one you wouldnā€™t be knocked up and not up too it. Heā€™s a dick :joy::relaxed:

Youā€™re 5 months pregnant. He knows that pregnancy changes your entire biochemistry, yes?

Itā€™s unfortunate that there are so few resources for expecting fathers. See if you can find an expecting fathers group in your area or online.

As for whatā€™s a ā€œnormalā€ sex life, everyone is different. It varies a lot by age and by individual.

I strongly recommend coupleā€™s counseling. You two arenā€™t on the same page. Heā€™s using the symptom (ā€œnot enough sexā€) to avoid the real problem. I donā€™t know what that is, but it sounds like you need a therapist to help you two figure that out. Do it for your future child.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years at first it was everyday multiple times a day and if my mom had our daughter for a few hours/all day then we would spend a lot of our time having sex on and off that day. Then as time when on our sex life changed and is still changing the past 3 years we have been having sex a lot less to once a week or once every other weeks every now and then we will have sex more then that but we also hardly get anytime alone as our kids are 8,5, and 2 and Iā€™m also pregnant due in a few weeks. But also my husband is almost 32 so his sex drive could have also slowed some and these last 3 years have been stressful. I believe everyoneā€™s sex life changes as time goes on and everyoneā€™s normal is different for others

Together, 15 years, married 12, four kids under the age of 12, and we average 3x a week. It used to be a lot more, but between me in school and his schedule, we just donā€™t find as much time. :sob::rofl:
