No of times, time to arousal, foreplay time, no of strokes, which nipple was bitten, which position, orgasm on a scale of 1-10

This scheduling really helps. It makes sure we have once a week sex. It takes the pressure off DW from having sex the other days of the week. We pick the day of the week that works for her schedule when she has the best chance of clearing her head so the sex will be decent to good. I can take care of myself the other days without getting pent-up frustrated at my wife for lack of sex.

Its not ideal, its certainly not what I pictured my sex life becoming but its way way better than what we had before.

I don't remember why we didn't have sex that week (no notes in my spreadsheet) but we had it 3 times the week before and 3 the week after. So, it seems reasonable. Our average is above 2 but below 3 times a week.

You may think I'm a dork, but I find that this is the way I can schedule and make sure we get enough sex to remain happy, and I don't feel pressured for sex (because I don't get asked for sex if I'm handing it out before he gets anxious).

You are on track to write the epic best seller- the statistics of coitus

PP (12:40) and I do the same thing.... in my case it's depressing, so I guess my book would be titled A man and his hand

This has to be the weirdest thing I've read in a long time. You have a spreadsheet of when you spread your legs - good god gross. Are you this anal about everything else in your life? Have you been doing this your whole marriage and does your husband know about your chart? Totally weird sorry. You are probably the same type of person who kept a poop chart for their kids - you should relax and enjoy life.

Be honest after so many years together it really doesn't not take that much time.

*Warning, unhelpful comment above*

So, if you don't like it, and you are having regular sex, don't do it. It isn't for you. But it works for some people.
But if you can't find that one 20 minute period in the week to have sex, just try the scheduling. It isn't going to hurt to try something new.
