PP - we're healthy and both in pretty good shape which really helps. We use candles for low lighting which also helps. I really like the fact that at my age I can still arouse someone after 40 years and that we can really rumple the sheets. |
It really varies according to my cycle. Two weeks out of the month 1-3 tomes a week is good.
1 week a month I need it every day sometimes twice a day. Period week I have zero interest in sex. |
I’m similar. We’re in our early 40s & have been married 15+ years and have three kids (youngest is 10). Right now, we have sex, on average, 4x week except period week, when I have zero ZERO libido. We’re on vacation without kids for a long weekend and have had sex 2-3x day. It’s awesome! |
I'm a guy, so the question wasn't directed at me, but this seemed somewhat relevant:
This morning, my wife told me about a dream she had last night where I had apparently cheated on her with 6 or 7 different people. She said it was her fault because she rarely ever wanted to have sex and seemed shaken by the dream. It'll be interesting if she wants to try and work on our sex life in the near future or if the effect of the dream just wears off. We've been married about 20 years and have sex a little less than once a month. In years past, I made efforts to improve our sex life, but she seemed mostly disinterested in putting forth any effort. I'm not happy about our sex life, but with a lot of porn and my own libido fading somewhat as I approach 50, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to. (I've never cheated on her in real life, for what it's worth.) |
This poster again. Lol, just asked DH and he said we have sex 2-3x per week and said “we have sex a lot.” I guess he has a Bill Clinton definition of sex. |
My parents are in their 70s, still having sex. |
Once a week was great for me, 1 kid, 41 yrs. That's enough time for my energy to build up and have multiple orgasms. However DH being an emotionally/borderline physically abusive jerk destroyed my ability to have sex with him. |
I literally cannot go longer than two weeks. I start craving him. We average 3x a week for the month. Some weeks its twice and other weeks it 5-7 times. It all evens out. |
Me too. I’m 38. 4 kids, youngest is four. We have been married 11 years. |
If he's not your ex husband, it can only mean you have an an open marriage. Because those are your only options. |
![]() I also have an emotionally abusive husband. Whatever. If someone else wants to put up with his crap and save me the hassle of getting him off, that’s fine with me. Makes my life easier. Problem is he’s suck a jerk no other woman is interested. |
Totally wrong. I am absolutely NOT telling you to put out. If you have an emotionally abusive jerk husband, I definitely would not expect you to have sex with him. Rather, you should divorce him. Why would you stay married to an abusive jerk? But... but... if you DON'T divorce him, well then I am sorry but you are not entitled to his exclusivity. |
You sound like an awesome wife! |
Age 43. 5-6 times a week most weeks. One week of the month 2-3 times. |
I stopped breastfeeding, got better sleep, and started working out a bit. I feel great and decided to up the ante in frequency. We were probably at 2-3 times per month for a few years and for the past few months, I’ve been initiating at least twice per week, sometimes three or four.
It’s like I’m married to a different dude. He’s falling all over himself to do things for me. This is great! |
