How often do you do it?

I’m somewhat surprised by our 13-34 and 35-49 age groups.

18-34:
2 votes for Never
5 votes for Less than once a month
3 votes for Once a week
1 vote for 2-4 times a week

35-49:
5 votes for Never
4 votes for Less than once a month
2 votes for 1-3 times a month
4 votes for 2-4 times a week
1 vote for every day

I’m surprised because I’d think it would be much higher frequency. Or maybe our young Dopers are living alone? Or maybe times have changed and people have changed, and maybe people are too busy or are otherwise preoccupied? Maybe there are good reasons for this? Nevertheless I’m a little disheartened or saddened by the low frequency of intimacy and intimate moments.

I’m drafting this response and was getting into some personal details, but don’t want to derail this thread. I might start a new one, or find an existing one where it’s more appropriate to share.

I, too, wonder the same thing. When will my final time be? I’m 65 and I hope that will not be for many (many!) years. Sometimes I envision, when I’ve moved in to an assisted living facility, that those years might be like I’m back in college and living in the dorms again, and many women will be seeking some intimacy.

@LSLGuy, I’m happy for you and that you’ve found your GF and that you have each other.

@Spice_Weasel, I understand your situation. Those are busy years. I’m now (M, 65) and my kids are fully grown. The boys are 42 and 40 and the girl is 38. I started young. When you’ve raised your boy then life will return to normal for you.

Anyway, the results here so far are… interesting. Thank you for this thread, @commasense.
