Citizen Erased Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Touche. I have always called them inverted commas, maybe its ok in Australia. Yes it is, they're the same thing. As for me, the question is more how often do I not need sex? I want it more when I can't have it and take it as it's coming when I can. Oh, and I'm 21.
likestolaugh Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 once a day is enough for me... although sometimes 2. I'm 23, male. However, I find my gf is often tired at the end of the day, and in the morning it's a rush for work... so maybe 2 times a week at most is all we do. I should mention that we live an hour apart, although she works near me. It also seems that most of the time she likes none-penetrative sex better (I don't think she likes the feel of condoms), which is new to me.
Ruby Slippers Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Wow, all these people saying they NEED it once a day really surprises me. It really seems more like an addiction than something pleasurable to most. I've only had one sexual experience over 2 years ago, and I've been just fine since then. Now and then I'll feel a bit lonely and crave sex if I have to stay inside on a Friday night, but to me it would be a burden to have sex once a day. I think it would also get pretty repetitive and boring. I didn't say I need it. Nobody needs sex. I have been single by choice for the past 9 months and haven't had sex once. I said I prefer to have it at least once a day. During the first few months of my last relationship, we had sex anywhere from 1 to 6 times a day, and it wasn't repetitive or boring in the least. It was ****ing awesome. If you find sex repetitive and boring, I think you've either got a low sex drive or you're not very sexually creative and exploratory. Numerous studies have shown that sex is very good for your health and the health of your relationship. Frequency of sex correlates with happiness in the relationship and overall health, with couples that have sex 5-7 times a week reporting much higher levels of contentment than couples who only have it once a week or less. Sex and orgasms provide physical, emotional, and mental release, and they keep you intimately in touch with your partner. What's not to love?
itgirlragdoll Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 It's hard for me to gauge because I only see my boyfriend 2-3 days a week. On those days we do it probably 3-5 times a day...both of us like a LOT of sex. However if I saw him every day or lived with him we would probably just do it once or twice a day on days that we work.
zhsoj Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Holy crap... I should have never opened this thread. Apparently I'm missing out big time.

I'm sure if I found a girl I liked that liked me back then sex would never be boring, but as I said, it hasn't happened for me yet. You can't explore sex when you're unable to have it. I'm going to be honest and agree with zhsoj. This thread is making me feel like I'm missing out a bit. I had no idea couples had so much sex, but I'm really surprised that women want so much of it. One of these days I'll find one of those girls.
lizzylizliz Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Ummm...if I'm going to be honest....anything between 3-5 times a night is perfect for me. That can include 'wake up sex', I suppose. My SO has told me he thinks I have a problem (which I probably do, rooted in self esteem and all that!) as I can happily go on for 2 hours (with intervals). It depends a lot on mood, I think, if I'm depressive then I never really can be bothered much. Most I have in a night is 13 but I'm a believer in quality rather than quantity nowadays.
clv0116 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Honestly, you can have too much of any good thing. I'd say more than five times a week is most likely unnecessary unless you're on vacation or something. In real life, with other things competing for time, I'd say 4 days a week but maybe 2-3 times some of those days. I'd rather let the desire build and spend a few hours working things out than routinely popping one out every night before sleeping. So I guess it works out to an ideal of maybe 8-12 a week but I want them grouped up in many cases. For instance, maybe spending a little time for 1-2 rounds Sunday morning, then a nice day together and an evening with 1-2 more, than maybe 1 on Monday night, 2-3 in a little couple time on Thursday evening, once more Friday ... like that. Just as an example. Some weeks I'd love 3-4 a day every day, but that's not as often now. I'm a guy in my early 40s.
saluron Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 hmmmm... how much i "need" sex? never. how much i "want" sex? at least once a week. But my wife-to-be.. considering how she used to be, its gonna be at "least 2 times a day." hopefully i have the stamina.
CandiceIsMe Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 28 yr old Fem I am satisfied with at least once per day but would prefer twice as long as the day hasn't been too hectic.
