[quote=Anonymous]This is so hard to articulate. We’re 43/44, two kids 6 and 9. Went through brutal stretch starting with first pregnancy; her drive essentially cratered, and combine that with work and financial stress and baby #2 and we hardly had sex for years. It was really bad.

Things improved. WFH x 2 meant more communication and shared household responsibilities. Wife left toxic job and I started earning more. Both lost weight. Kids got easier. No more daycare and student loans meant less financial stress. There was some counseling involved. So, we came back from brink of sex extinction to something resembling normal.

That means sex anywhere from 1-5 times a month, with 2 being median amount. But it totally is a function of work stress, travel, and other factors. We just got a new puppy and have both traveled for work which has killed things for a few weeks. In good months it could be 4-5 times. If we’re on vacation w/o kids (rare) then every day for sure.

If I have one gripe it’s that I have to initiate essentially 100% of the time, but the mere fact that she engages and enjoys and it’s not dead is 100x better than before. I’ll take it I guess.[/quote]
