How often are you having sex lately?

Agree with the 20s with no kids. 30’s slowed down with 3 kids born and all the pregnancy related downtime. I think it picked up in our 40’s but having teens under roof made it challenging at times. Now empty nesters in our 50s and almost back to our 20’s? I think the sex is better now because we are far more experienced and can take more time. With babies and kids under roof speed was important.

LOL - I remember the quickie days because it was often all you had time for. But now I love extended foreplay given it’s just the two of us and no threat of being interrupted.

We're 42 and 38 -- about twice a week. I really wish it happened more often but it's really hard to find the time with little kids and demanding jobs.

I think it is not uncommon for some women to be “visual” too. Sure, for some it does not matter how their husband’s body looks. For many others, we simply close our eyes (or prefer to do it in the dark).

But nearly all men are “visual.” They just are. Look at the whole porn phenomenon (it’s almost entirely for men).

59m, 61f... about 1-2x a week. Together 3 years. But we both agree that it's the best sex of our lives and we focus on quality over quantity.

This is the best and healthiest relationship of our lives, and we both prioritize keeping it that way.

+1 15-20 minutes is best for me then on to the main event. That too needs to be short due to “age” related issues. We are in our 60’s so 1-2 times a week is fine by me.

lately it's been 3-5 times a week. 52m and 48f, 3 kids (all young adults/older teens). can't definitely say it's been the hottest sex we've had and we've had a lot of sex together over the years.

My friends all seem to think this is a lot but of course the DCUM crowd is doing it every day.

The people answering this thread are a self-selecting group. Probably a lot of 1x per week or 1x per month people look at this thread and don’t bother responding.

100% right. I kind of randomly came across this thread and had the same thought after the first page of answers.

Late forties. Married 20+ years. Two teens. 5 to 6 times per week.

It wasn't always that way, but it's something that one has to work on.

I think that for anyone who is married and wants to be intimate more frequently, try:
1) get in better shape and try working out together
2) stop drinking alcohol or at least cut back
3) compliment each other and give little spanks and taps throughout the day

It is not that hard if most other elements are pretty normal. You both just need to work at it and have fun with each other.

44 / 45. About 4x per week. We were in a dry spell for a few years, but I (F) made an effort to have more sex. Started scheduling it on the google calendar when he works from home.

46, divorced woman. A few times a month. It could be more frequent, but I don’t have time. I was with one person for 18 months and I’ve been with the last person for about a year. I’m like marriage. I can have as much sex as I want and it’s actually good.

This is probably good and reasonable advice for couples where both want to have it more frequently. If only one does, it’s probably wholly inapplicable, and that’s probably a ton of the people who aren’t responding to this thread.
