I reject your reality and substitute my own. AKA, I refuse to answer this poll as taking either option would result in me divorcing my wife. I can’t (and rarely do) go two days without sex without getting frustrated, and I’ve been married for 7 years.

When the hell is once a month considered “quantity”? Wait, which one is quality and which is quantity because both options mean “not enough”.

Either option is better than what I got now I’ll take monthly.

I guess monthly of the two options, but I’d be spending a ton of quality alone time.
