Answering as a 32 year old guy, I can tell you I want it much less than when I was 25. Five or six times a day will do nicely now, thank you. šŸ˜‰ ---

Married 24-year-old checking in. Iā€™d say I usually want it twice a day, somtimes just once, and, when the opportunity presents itself, all day longā€¦ ---

26-yr-old checkin in. Twice a day? Wow! In the beginning of a relationship, maybe once a day to once every two days. I donā€™t think I could keep up with a twice-a-day regiment of sex. Once things lose their novelty factor, then a comfortable pace for me would be twice a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. As you can tell, there is a lot of variation on this topic. Judging by my male peers, Iā€™d wager that most men in this age group would be happy to get sex daily, but there are definitely exceptions (like me and a couple others) who were happier on a couple times a week scale. ---

Hell, when I was 25, it was at least twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and occasionally in the afternoons. Now that Iā€™m married once a day is all I desire. šŸ™‚ ---

23 here. My exgirlfriend and I used to have sex at least onece a day, and Iā€™d say 8 times out of 10 was twice a day. If I was lucky 3 times a day. The problem now is that since weā€™ve broken up (about a month ago) Iā€™ve gotten nothing. It can be very frusterating going from 2 to 0 in one day flat. As far as enticing your man, may I suggest installing a mechanical bull in your bedroom. Nothing gets me going like seeing a woman wearing nothing but leather chaps and a smile. ---

25 year old checking in here. I want it as much as possible. My goal is to win the lottery and just stay in bed all day. Luckily my fiance wants me and wants to have sex with me as much as I want to with her. It is good that we met each other because otherwise we might end up injurying or killing two other people (rogered to death, what a way to go :D). On a more serious note, **jay-c** , if you are saying that your boyfriend does not want to have sex with you straight after you have made love, it might be that he needs a little recovery time afterwards.

It depends. My question is, is it sex that you want, or have you mistakenly substituted sex for intimacy? ---

25 year old guy checkinā€™ in. I had a very (somewhat embarrasingly) prolific undergraduate sex drive, as did my current SO. when we got together we were probably once a dayers, but its been about a year now and weā€™re a lot less frequent than thatā€¦ (2-3 times a week on a good week). I have to say that iā€™m really okay with that. we are both kindaā€¦ i donā€™t want to say ā€œOVERā€ sex, but its not all that much of a driving force in my day to day life, nor hers. its fun, but I honest donā€™t know if I could smack it up twice a day with any regularityā€¦ of course that two new variables that probably make our situation a little different from the average 25 year olds, long term SO, and kind of a been-there-done-that attitude towards oversexednessā€¦ I donā€™t know a lot of folks my ages who are nearly as horny or as sexually active as they were at 18 or 20, maybe i have a skewed sample group or somethingā€¦ CJ ---

Checking in againā€¦ Thank you all for your input. RickQ - Itā€™s not a matter of his recovery time. Iā€™m talking shagging in the morning, then me wanting it again in the evening - usually a 10 to 12 hour time gap. Urban Ranger - Itā€™s not a substitution of sex for intimacy, either. Our relationship, on a whole, is very intimate, with or without the sex. Thereā€™s lots of lovesick staring into each otherā€™s eyes, handholding, small thoughtful gestures, etc. I think heā€™s just too damn sexy for his own good. I canā€™t have him walk by me without me wanting to pounce on him. I just wish his libido were as high as mine. On the upside, I did try to talk to him about it, and I have seen some improvement. Itā€™s just difficult to talk to a man about these things - they get offended easily and are very sensitive. ---

Not much difference between then and now, this Guy wants sex everyday as a 25 year old and 40 sumpinā€™. Well, maybe every other dayā€¦ but multiple times. ---

Eh, most people dont bother noticing the date and time on a post. I didnā€™t notice this post was old until I saw that pezpunk had posted because I know that guy hasnā€™t been around here for ages.

Even assuming this, shouldnā€™t most people be expected to at least glance at the thread, and, after doing so, get a general sense of the level of discourse here and try to make their very first post on the forum with a basic modicum of sentence structure and writing technique - as well as some idea to put forth - or at the _very least,_ a ā€œhi, Iā€™m new here, but I noticed this thread on Google and wanted to comment.
