For purposes of this poll, please count all types of intercourse with your partner.
Semi-prudish disclaimer: This data will be used to solve a debate. I am not personally this nosy .
Thank you in advance.
What's the debate?!
I will give the full details later tonight, because I do not want my wording to affect the voting, but basically, a friend and I are debating about what what constitutes "average" in terms of how often couples are having sex.
milsaroo I went back in bcp and I swear it made me gain weight and makes me so much more emotional. (Let's ignore the food I have been shoving into my mouth ok?)

I don't think I could (mentally/emotionally) handle gaining any more weight, but the main concern is that my hormones are out of wack so I don't want to mess things up even more.
... Also, I'm contemplating making brownies so I can eat the raw batter that DH wouldn't let me touch while pg.
1-2 times pr week. I wasn't sure which one to click.
Hm, I didn't think about separating that out, but that probably would have been good. I guess this is obvious, but depending on which one occurs most often, you could click 2-4 times a month or 2-3 times a week.

I can't see polls on my phone but i think the appropriate amount for a couple to have sex is the amount they are having sex. what seems high or low to some is perfectly fine for others.

Twice a week for the 3 weeks of the month I'm not on my period. It's way too much for me. I'd be happy with once a month or less. It's not because I'm not attracted to DH or anything. I just have a low sex drive and am tired all the time from working and raising a kid and dealing with a chronic high maintenance illness.
after a dry spell when we didn't know WTF to do with winnie (she would cry at the door if we locked her out -- bones, crate, music, etc didn't work), we're back to our regular 4x per month.
Yeah, no. I don't think we had it that often when we were newlyweds. I'm lucky, or rather DH is, if we get to twice a week. Four kids and general exhaustion don't make for a whole lot of sexy time and I stay home so I can't blame work.
That is a lot of sex to fake your interest through. And LOL at that being "average."
I think she only wants to go down to 2-3 times a week (which is what I thought would be average), but I'm not sure lol. I told him that I was going to ask a few of my friends, which I was, before I realized I should post a poll here (sadly, that meant I had to talk about Fight Club lol) to get more stats. Well, the first friend I talked to about it agreed with him! She and her husband are HS sweethearts, two jobs, three children. I don't understand where people with real families and careers who have been together for decades are getting the energy, honestly. But, that conversation led to the spin off poll I'll probably make tomorrow.

Not for the first time, but I wish there were matrix polls, where you could pick, I have x kids, and we have sex x times per week. I wonder where sfy, friend would be then?
An acquaintance friend came over, at the end of a ladies night I was having, and told me that she and her DH, who have 4 kids (3 steps she is raising with him, no mom in the picture, and one together), had sex every single night, and she was tired of it. I was blown away.
I like to read before I sleep, and sometimes DH smells like hockey. Nope.
are they doing any counseling to manage expectations going forward? I can't imagine he's just going to be OK with dropping down so rapidly.
DDed.
I would say you're at 11+, Dig Ophelia lol. It's fine to count more than one partner, yes...that wording was mostly to clarify that masturbation should not be counted and anal and oral should be counted, lest anyone try to Bill Clinton their number down .
I don't have the energy, but somebody should make a poll about how often they want sex and a second for how much their h wants it.
I can add this to my poll schedule tomorrow lol. Like imojoebunny, I often wish there was a way to gather additional info from the poll (short of people having to post more info and disclose things they might not be inclined to disclose).
