Survey: How much is too much?

Mrs. Seafarer: "Normal people don't do it this much."
Seafarer: "OMG!!! We're not normal."

So, how frequently do you "normal" folks do it? And, what's the context? How long have you been together, what's the status of your relationship, etc?

4 years together.
1-3 times a week.

We're trying to make it more, but it doesn't help when we work different shifts, we have class and we don't live together. So, I guess we're doing alright?

AWESOME POST BY THE WAY. I'm interested as well.

Not married, but been together a year and a half and living together. Very happy.

We have it probably five times a week on average, but we do try to at least get six days in on most weeks if possible. If it weren't for work and school, it would probably be seven days!

With my last ex, at least once a day, though 3 or 4 times a day wasn't unusual for us.

with my last girlfriend it started out strong and then went to maybe once a week. Other girlfriends have always been at least three times a week or more, that includes a six year relationship.

It is frustrating when you have miss matched sex drives as my last relationship proved. One thing I have read is that some therapists recommend that even when a woman isn't in the mood that you forge ahead because once you get going, usually the woman starts to enjoy it. Just a little tough to light the fire. Also therapists have found that couples that have sex on a regular basis are better couples.

I'd probably say 6 times a week. I like having a night off a week to cuddle =)

same or more with fooling around too. if this changes i would be out. a 'less' of a change of course. i like my girl's body and i love sex. they go hand in hand so i get aroused a lot. another reason i'm with my girl. it's only healthy.

Been together for almost 2 years. We only do it about once a month sometimes less. In the beginning we were way more active but my man is going through some things right now so it effecting our intimate lives. I am sure that we will make it though this and be stronger for it, it is just hard not to be intimate right now!
