[quote=Anonymous]I'm a woman and I have sex regularly with my husband (2x/week on average). We had more sex before we had 2 kids, but needing to work at night after our kids go to sleep is getting in the way right now. That said, it doesn't take a lot to have sex. We had sex last night at like 1:30 am after we both finished working.

You just do it because you want to feel close and it's fun and even when you're not that into it, you can get into it if you let yourself.

I am very honest with my husband when I don't want to have sex (I struggled with body image for 6 months after each pregnancy, when I was losing baby weight and told him at times "I don't like how I look right now"). After I lost the baby weight, it wasn't an issue. I think it's very destructive not to be honest with your partner about why you don't want to have sex. And I feel like a lot of the reasons that people give aren't super honest.

I also initiate sex about 40%-50% of the time. I've never understood why some women don't.

I don't think I'd want to live in a sexless marriage or do the 10x a year sex marriage. It seems like it would be hard to be physically connected and without the physical connection, the rest of the marriage can really deteriorate.
