As the title states, how often do you and your partner get to business? I ask this because I'm curious to see what the norm is for people out there, and how much it affects your relationships. I think the generally accepted 'norm' is that us men are more sexually driven than women and like to have sex more regularly but how true is this really?

Personally I've been becoming frustrated in my own relationship because long story short the missus has been very sexually passive and generally isn't up for it all that much, I'd say in the last 3, 4 months especially. Now we're both pretty young and haven't been together all that long (just under two years) so whilst I know that in the early days you're obviously gonna have more sex it's kinda worrying me that it seems to have dried up real fast.

This is the first long-term relationship I've been in so I don't have much to compare to, I'm just wondering what the situation is like for others out there. I don't doubt that this girl loves me but it's hella frustrating and makes me doubt if I really want to pursue this long term. Like it's not terrible, we're probably still averaging like once, twice a week right now but still, we live alone together with no kids so I'm thinking it should be better than this, you know what I mean?

Just looking to draw some opinions, see what it's like for some of you other guys/girls out there. Is it unreasonable to expect/desire sex regularly? Is a lack of sex a deal-breaker for any of you people out there? Genuinely I don't know what to think.

You seem from your description like a totally sex driven guy like a horny Jerry Lewis. Maybe you and your partner should talk about sex more and then you might enjoy it when it happens. Have you ever dressed up or asked her to stomp on your balls or anything like that?

No I definitely have not asked for those things lol. And we do talk about it, usually it's me pestering and her batting me off :messenger_neutral: But yes, I do have a pretty high sex drive which is why I'm wondering whether I'm just unreasonable, and should not expect so much.

Its different for women. She needs more stimuli, whether that be you dressed up as Captain America or a young Charlton Heston the route to her erogenous zones is through image and the intent. Role play with her.

1-2 times a week depending on our work schedules. The dreaded Depo shot throws a wrench into that from time to time, but no babies so I can't really complain.

It has varied a lot in the past 12 years my wife and I have been married.

At first, when we moved in, it was everyday, sometimes more than once a day. Good times. About 1 year after she got pregnant and we didn't do it throughout the whole pregnancy and in the 4 months after... I can't say I enjoyed it very much, but hey man, it's my wife right, gotta support her.

Things slowly got back on track and we were doing it like 2 times a month for a long time, sometimes a little more...

Right now we're at once a week, sometimes twice. We're better financially, I think it helped too. It's good enough.

Yeah, I've heard this a lot lol. That's the thing, if the sex is already starting to dry up now, if we did have kids and get married what's it gonna be like then. Do all these girls just sweeten you up until they feel comfortable or what?
Some do kinda. I had a girlfriend that when we met complained her ex boyfriend would always want sex and pester her for it. At the time I thought "What an asshole he was".

So with her the sex was regular right up until I brought a house and we moved in, then within a year. No sex ever, always "Tommorrow" or "tired" or a "headache" treading water until " can't now, it's my period". I then realised what the "asshole" ex boyfriend went through.

My ex wife was the same, within one year of marriage.

But every other girlfriend was no problem, no matter how long we were seeing each other.

In my experience, sexual frequency fluctuates significantly. Hell, I’ve written about my own experiences with severe dry spells here on GAF (kind of regret that but too late.) Anyway OP there is no right frequency but I don’t think mismatched libidos are uncommon at all. Try having a frank discussion with your wife after having a wank so you’re not horny. If that doesn’t work you guys could do therapy, but my guess is that her sex drive will never match your own, at least not for longer than for short bursts. So, you have to make a choice about how big of a deal that is for you. Most men just resign themselves to their fate, some leave, some use hookers, some have affairs.

All people have different sex drives - I think it’s important to have a partner that matches your own. Having an honest discussion with her is essential. This is one of our basic needs as humans, and if it’s not being met for you I imagine you’ll end up resentful.

Yeah I don‘t know if your relationship is right for you. You better think about it and either shit or get off the can.

At 2.5 years my gf and I were still doing it daily (usually more.) Once we had our first kid it started to be less frequent and after the second even less so.

Now almost 20 years later it’s still a few time’s a week but it’s difficult because she doesn’t look the way she used to and these kids seem to have a second sense about it.

As soon as we lock the door and get locked in good and proper (while trying to be quiet) they all come creeping and knocking at the door.

Either way if you aren‘t happy with the way your sex life is going now, you really aren’t going to be happy when other complications come around.

Trust me it’s only going to get harder, not easier.

There are so many fucking factors that can short circuit a woman’s sex drive it’s insane.* You can’t figure out that puzzle. There are too many variables to draw a pattern.

* Not all women are the same, but I would say on average is true.

Single here.

It's been too long since I've lasted flirted with someone, let alone tried to smash. Life during quarantine has certainly taken its toll. I need to get back on the horse.

Yeah this is my fear. Problem is there's not much else I would change about her and we're compatible in so many ways, but I just can't help being frustrated by her low sex drive. I mean, she also has insecurities that go along with that, that make her only want to do it in the pitch dark and shit like that. In the first year or so it's like she forced herself out of her comfort zone but slowly as time goes on she's slipping back into it.

Think it's a case of her both having less desire for it in general (it's not new anymore) and knowing that she kind of has me. She knows her value to me so isn't so likely to give me what I want the same way she would before. That's fair enough but you know even a blowjob every now and then wouldn't go amiss but she doesn't like doing that either.
 
Dude, to be blunt. Bail the fuck out.

She's supposed to be a girlfriend not a best friend with a vagina (That you don't get to have a go on anymore).

Lol I hear you bro but it ain't always like that. Also how wise is it to bail out on a girl just because of lack of sex, when in most other departments she ticks the boxes. No one's perfect right?

I've been there, it's not worth it. She was really hot, great tits and I stopped getting anything. Even hurt when my friends complimented me on being "Lucky" to have a hot girlfriend. All your thought processes your having now, I've been through myself. "Wow, I'm not a shallow guy to dump some girl because of a no sex situation", "I''ll try harder and talk and stuff".

Also in the meantime because I had a hot girlfriend I'd have women hitting on me, that's a thing.

So can't have sex with my girlfriend, but also cannot have sex with other women that want to have sex with me. Shit fucks you up.

If you want a life of jerking off to porn when she's not around, I hope there's enough boxes ticked to make up for that.

Use discount code RENTME for 5% off your next transaction.

Cheers

You joke, but many a true word said in jest.


I used to visit this spa that had a "Full service" option, to get this you needed to request the VIP service when you arrived and they would bring the ladies that would provide that. This was a quality place that is best described as a 4 star hotel, in fact I think it was a hotel in a previous incarnation.

So one time I visited during the holidays and when I went to the front desk to pay the bill they had a promotion on, a lucky dip. Brightly colored box with a hole in the top that you pulled out a ticket to see what you had won. So I pulled out my ticket and it was a 10% discount off my next visit.

I got 10% discount off my next hooker. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I used that voucher as well!

None. Single by choice. I’ve done everything sexual I ever wanted to do with every type of girl. Have children. I rub one out every now and then because at 53 I still have a fairly high testosterone level so I get aggressive if I don’t. The juice is no longer worth the squeeze, women are just another bill to me. It’s the most liberating feeling to know you can refuse sex with ease, and it drives women absolutely nuts.

Looks like you have attained sexual mastery, good sir. Added a 'who needs sex' option to the poll for ballers like you.

Depends, if I am in the middle of a good game I don't want to quit early just to have sex. So some weeks 1-2 times, since she gets all mad and questions why I prefer to explore crypts filled with giant pigs instead of fucking her.

If I am not in the middle of a game it is 4-5 times every week.

We've been married for 4 years.
