How Often?

I've been told many times that intimacy is a huge role in a marriage. A 2017 study that appeared in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that the average adult currently enjoys sex 54 times a year, which equates to about once a week. What is your ideal frequency to do that with your (future)...

    Whaaattt!!! We do like once every 2-3 weeks. My libido has been destroyed by the birth control I'm on.

    Yup, that will do it. i had to stop taking that stuff because it started giving me medical issues. 2-3 times a week is not bad.

    Go with what is important! Though we had an evening wedding, and danced til 3am and had energy ... Because we got rid of all that bizarre bonding time FAD called getting ready together with the WP. We all got up later, and FI and I had time for a couple hours after lunch nap, then everybody in the wedding started at 2:30-3 to get ready in their own rooms. All during the same 1.5 hours or less, me 1 1/4 hours start shower to done and then ready for pictures with FI for an hour, while wp had pics. From being in many weddings before the whole HMU getting ready craze, and many after who do it and many who skip it, I can tell you that the death of wedding party sex after the wedding, and B and G sex, very often is that totally unnecessary getting ready as a group garbage. Give me the traditional way, when all get ready themselves or with 1 other, get to HMU appointments , and appear to each other, groomed and ready. With no cute robe pics and mimosas and guy bonding til guys are half drunk, but plenty of fun hang out time, naps if wanted, dance half the night and follow it up with mattress dancing.
    Have a morning, afternoon, or evening wedding. But set a schedule that leaves time for what is important!

    I will honestly say that usually my FH and I are intimate about 3-4 times a week. We usually don't go longer than a week without. I do find it surprising since we have 2 kids haha.

    23 years of marriage, and we do it almost everyday. Some days more than once. I don’t talk to friends about this, because they told each other they only have it once or twice in a month (38 years old or older). I fear to be stamped as a freak. We just love it. Cuddling is our before and after, just like starter and dessert. I am not into it only if I have bad cramps. I don’t mind headache, or anything else than tummy ache ❤️ 🥂

    Girl, you're able to do this since you don't work full time. Stats even say that housewives have sex more often than full time working wives. Whew, wish I could be that blessed.

    Honestly, same. For a lot of reasons. Not a bad wife, just have a different lifestyle. As long as your significant other is happy and doesn't feel neglected, I think any amount is normal whether it's 7 days a week or 7 times a year.

    Not bragging here wink. Just saying everyone is different, and best is to find a partner who needs/wants it as much/less. If one wants/needs more/less, it could create a tension in relationship because this one of human basic needs isn’t full filled.

    Being well matched , and each a little generous and sensitive to the other's wants is more important than any set number of times.

    When we first lived together it was about everyday 🤫 we also ran less tighter schedules and had help with my daughter . Fast forward living in our own place ... it’s probably only on the weekends , as I’m a busy mom, a bodybuilder and my fiancé runs a tight schedule too 😩 sometimes I wish it was more often i do

    I don't think that I'd have an ideal number, as I've always been one for doing it when I feel like it. I don't think scheduling sex would work for me, because then it feels like a chore rather than a choice.
    I think I'm pretty easy going, and that my libido varied depending on the partner.

    When I stayed with FH, we did it at least every other day, but foreplay was done at least once every day. He gave me a sublime full body massage, which I had to fight to stay awake for though because he got me soooo relaxed! 😴 He has a gift for sure. ☺️
