Sex poll: quantity or quality?

Heh…sex…poll… Poll coming (snerk)

You have the choice of consistently getting to make the beast with two backs once each and every month, or two weeks of marathon rogereing, twice a year…no other choices, assume either session is othewis satisfactory, and that during the downtimes, you are left to your own pornographic devices to scratch the itch.

Which do you pick?

Thanks for bringing back horrible memories of watching I Heart Huckabees, by the way.

I missed that movie, care to spoilerbox a reason? (or would that just be too painful? :smiley: )

That’s not really “quantity vs. quality,” is it? It’s spread out vs. concentrated.

Maybe “mind-blowing sex twice yearly vs. acceptable sex monthly” would fit.

Wait, once a month is “quantity”? Insert Mandy Patinkin quote here.

Well, whatever then. Mind-blowing half-yearly vs. acceptable weekly, or dail, or whatever you please.

Joe

Well, flip the premise around. Would you rather not get enough, but get it regularly, or REALLY not get it enough but overload on it when you do?

Yeah, I just flat turned down a FWB offer that would basically be once a month guaranteed, but I would still take once a month over a wild 2 weeks a year (unless I am allowed 12 partners :D). I would much rather spend my time and effort finding someone who is up for a couple times a week and not lay around all month feeling kinda unwanted the rest of the time.

That was [intentionally] not offered. :slight_smile:

We’re talking long-term married folk where one’s got a dead libido, but THIS thread isn’t about that.

Then I will intentionally not answer the poll. :wink:

Long-term married person here.

It was pretty much a poll on the lesser of two evils…nearly nobody would select ‘Never have sex’ and nobody would select anything other than “three sessions a week”, given their druthers.

No need to spoilerize: it’s this scene. Which is not in itself bad; it’s the cumulative effect of the whole film. But I digress.

I went for quality over quantity, if you’re interested.

As others have pointed out, the OP’s choices are not “quantity or quality,” they’re “rarely or almost never.”

Let’s see: (1) 12 days of sex a year, with sex only once on each of those days, or (2) 28 days of sex a year, with sex more than once a day on many if not most of those days.

Option (2) involves 3-4 times as much sex as option (1). It’s a pretty easy choice.

ah… hence quality (1) vs quantity (2). i see.

One from column “A” and one from column “B”. Extra plum sauce.

Yeah, I read the poll as 12/year vs 100-200/year and didn’t have a tough choice…

As my wife is well aware, I get very frustrated after two weeks without sex. I wouldn’t be able to go six months between sessions, no matter how often we did it during the two-week window. I would be too miserable to be around and we would probably get divorced. I’ll take the once-a-month option. It’s about what we do right now. It’s the bare minimum I can live with. Any less frequently and I would either cheat or drive my wife insane.

Your honesty here is - admirable. With my husband of 16 yrs:

First year: almost daily
2nd : about 3 times/week
3rd: once/week
4th: twice maybe 3 times monthly (frustration slowly setting in)
I’ll skip a few years here…
Last 2 years of marriage…I could easily count on 2 hands. :smack::mad:

It’s not the sole reason of why I left, although I was very frustrated…but it was a big part of it. My libido is alive and well and I don’t believe it will ever go into hiding. Life is too damn short to not enjoy one of its great pleasures with someone who feels the same as you do…:slight_smile:

Alas, Gus pretty much lives my sexual life. :confused: There is, literally, nothing I’d change about my life except my wife’s libido. With the various timing and rules, it works out to once a month. It’s not BAD…in fact, it’s pretty good…it’s just infrequent.
