In an ideal scenario, how frequently would you have sex?

There’s another thread somewhere around here about that.

Whenever I’m in the mood. Which isn’t a particularly quantifiable, steady rate.

Have you ever heard of wet dreams? :slight_smile:

Do blowjobs count?

Man, that must have been a rough 4 years.

For guys, yes.

Several times a day. Unfortunately, I’ve rarely attained that ideal.

Male, 49. (Entering my fourth decade of having sex and I still love it.)

Are we talking with the same girl?

Once in a lifetime, twice a day.

Male 41.

You could chart my sex drive with a sine wave.

Lately, I’ve been choosing masturbation over sex. It a little concerning to me. Not sure why. It could have something to do with the antidepressants I’m on.

Gay male, 66.

At least once a day, when my partner’s in town.

Cheating much?

Male, 44- ideally, every day around 10:30 a.m. plus about 3 nights a week. That’s the ideal, which involves me not having to go to work every day. For some reason, I’m consistently most ready mid-morning when I’m sitting in my office, and it seems my wife is too. Usually that means one of us will text the other with a “wish you were here right now” type message, which is our cue for shared but separate masturbation sessions. I’ll go into the men’s room at work, and she’ll do it somewhere in our house, and then we’ll text each other again when we’re done.

But if I didn’t have to go to work every day, we could do it together. Plus, a few nights a week I’d be ready again.

The reality is 3-5 times a week- every Saturday and Sunday morning, plus at least one mid-week morning before I leave for work, plus at least one nightly session after the kids have fallen asleep. Not counting our mid-week solo sessions.

So now the women who do want sex are abnormal?

Yeah, I don’t intend to answer this thread, since apparently I am abnormal.

Naw, I think the line of thinking is “I’m not getting laid as much as I’d like- so the problem must be with women, somehow. It can’t possibly be that women don’t want to have sex with me personally (I mean, who wouldn’t?) so it must be that they just hate sex in general! Those people who beg to differ? Uhhh. They must be abnormal- and I’m going to throw some passive-agressive nice guy ‘women are coy/liars/whatever’ in there as well! Resolved: I get rejected because women reject all men, the bitches.”

Remember, any random guy is a better authority on your sexuality than your own feeble female brain!

Male, 32, At least once a day.

Most mornings, and most evenings, so call it 10 times a week. I’m including blowjobs here - I’m almost never too tired to be given a blowjob.

ETA: Male, late 50s.

There’s no correlation between seeking out prostitutes and sex drive. Although I have a high sex drive, I’ve no desire to sleep with a stranger, even one who is paid for sex.

With the wife, I don’t really feel up to it. With the friend I have at work, I’d hit that daily at least if the opportunity came up. At home, having some issues getting aroused, but a little nibble on the ear from the other one had me throughly ready to rumble.

Well, lets see - around 3 times during the work week, and another 3 times on the weekend, is what we’re averaging… it works for me.
Exceptions for unusually stressful work weeks (subtract 1 or 2) and vacations (add a few).
