We meet, we date and we have sex like there is no tomorrow. We marry and continue the tradition, then it happens, all your practice has resulted in a baby, ot 2 or 3. After the 1st child is born, that's when the sex starts to go down hill. I don't mean quality of sex, just the quantity. You then move onto the stage of, get it when ever you can, we've all been there.."thank god, they are finally asleep". Some fall into what I'd call the rut of "it's saturday night, play night"!
Personally, I prefer the take it as it comes practice. Yes, sometimes it can be hit and miss...she's not in the mood or he's not in the mood.
When it gets to the stage where the one spsuse is always ready for sex and the other can't be bothered..well, it's time to sit down and have that chat. Voice your concerns and be fair about it.
How often do I want sex? I would have to say 2 to 3 times a week would be nice IF, you can't keep it interesting. Nothing worse than doing the same old thing, each and every time. Use your imaginations people. We are all different,which means , quite simply, we all have different needs at different times. Nobody should be "expected" to have sex, you shouldn't do it for fear of consequences if you don't. THAT, kind of sex is no fun at all.
Let's face it, when have you ever seen a man have sex, even when he doesn't want to....the plumbing don't work that way.
Nuff said
