| So many threads on this website about sexless marriages, being unfulfilled, cheating....is this the norm? |
| That’s because this site isn’t representative of real life. My husband and I are very happy. |
+1 Many sad/troubled/lonely people on this website. |
| Really? I always feel these threads have people rushing in to claim that they still do it 3 times a day after being together for 30 years. |
| Darn right we do and we've been married since the Reagan administration! |

If you research this, people on their first marriages generally have a good sex life for the first several years and by their 50s, and down to 1-2x a month. Whether that's "healthy" is in the eye of the beholder.
It's a relationship discussion board, sex and money are the top two problems in a marriage. Half of people cheat. Add it together and marital sex or lack of sex is going to be a big issue. |
| I think so, we've been married 14 years and we're still at 2-3 times a week with some weeks where we manage every day. I hope it doesn't change as we age. Reading the threads where people complain make me sad for them and wonder where things went wrong. |
| 22 years married, 24 years together. Still a few times per week. We are both still very fit and toned. |

40 years old, married 16 years. Sex two or three times a week, including lots of fun foreplay, oral. Getting started in the shower is the best. Very happy.
DH, three kids. |

“ Half of people cheat”
Studies have shown everything from 20% to 70%. I suppose you might split the difference, but I don’t believe any of them. |
| 7 years married, two kids under 4. We manage a 4-5 times a month. I could use a bit more but with young kids often in our bed it’s obviously tough. |
Women don't talk about their cheating. |
| 10 years married 5 kids at least once a week happily married. |
Notice no calms of a sex life just the wife is happy. |
| We don’t kiss and tell... |
