Couples Were Asked ‘How Often You Have Sex’? Their Answers Were Revealing.
Life doesn't have to slow down in your 60s.
"Been married 18 years, no kids I’m 49, he’s 63–about once a week."
This couple is nine years strong.
"Married five years. Lived together four before that. Have sex once a week."
The truth hurts. At least you're good for something ...
"Whenever she’s ovulating. nothing more, nothing less."
Here's the detailed breakdown you've been looking for.
"Married 18 years. Now divorced. No kids.
"Year 1 —- 10-20 times a week.
"Year 2 – 3 —- 10 times a month.
"Years 3 – 5 —- 5 times a month.
"Years 5 – 10 —- 2 times a month.
"Years 10 – 15 —- 1 time every month or so.
"Years 15 – 18 —- Pity sex twice a year.
"I left her because I got tired of her general selfishness in and out of the bedroom. I wanted her every day until the last day."
This boy's got her walking side to side. How do they do it?!
"Married 4 years, 12 times a week. Still groin strong!"
Some adults just are just kids with bigger bodies.
"Once every 5 days on average or I turn into a whiny little cry baby and there’s no living with me."
Cue in Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and let the memories pour in.
"Like once or twice a month if I’m lucky. Used to be like 2-3 times a day, I miss being a teenager … "
These two have it made. Happy anniversary to them!
"I’m 27 and my wife is 31 and we have three children. Our 10th anniversary is next month. We do it every day. Rarely it slips to every other night if we’re busy, but never a longer gap than that.
"One time she was mad and we didn’t do it or about 13 days. I thought that was the worst, but reading these comments makes me think I am one of the luckiest husbands out there."
Being a parent is a full time job. Here's proof.
"Sadly we are in a pattern of about 4 to 5 times a year. Been together 3.5 yrs. Pregnancies and babies have killed our sex life."
Can anyone else attest to this?
"Marriage doesn’t ruin sex. Kids do."
About three times a week? Not bad for an 8-year marriage.
"At least once on the weekends and about 2 times during the week on average. It really just depends how tired we are during the week when we get home. Some weeks we don’t have any. I’ve been married 8 years."
Heaven or a dry spell? It'll depend on your own experience.
"Truthfully … 3 times a month."
If you're living with an unhappy person, our hearts go out to both of you. It's tough.
"Married 8 years, 1 kid (7 years old). We have sex once every 2 months on average.
"I gave up trying to initiate things a couple years ago. Can only get shut down so many times in a row before it gets old.
"Honestly, my mistake was thinking that it is possible to make an unhappy person happy. Now I’d give anything to have a happy person I could make happier."
This couple's been facing a steady decline in their sex life. Any advice for them?
"No kids- married young
Year one: 8 times a week
Year two: 5 times a week
Year three: 3 times a week
Year four: once a week
Year five: 3 times a month
Year six: twice a month
And to be clear, my libido is exactly the same it was 6 years ago, so this decline is very stressful to the relationship."
I'll have what they're having.
"6 years married, 2 kids and a third on the way. Actual intercourse: 3-4 times a week when she’s not pregnant. During pregnancy (like right now), 1-2 times a week. She makes sure I’m taken care of, though, even though her sex drive is decreased right now."
Sometimes, it's normal not to have a routine.
"Varies wildly. Some months we’re both so busy that bedtime is sleepytime.
"Other times we’re like teenagers, constantly trying to find somewhere to sneak off to for sexytime.
"Like all things, there are highs and lows, ebbs and flows."
This is why so many of us are afraid of the M word.
"Married 1 year. Twice a month."
