I'm just curious how other couples stack up compared to DH and I when it comes to the frequency of sex. We have really slowed down since LO was born, but the exhaustion really set in, and took over. We are slowly starting to get back on track, which is great. I'm adding a poll so you can stay anonymous if you wish!
-
We were once a weekers for a long time, but things slowed down even worse during the third trimester and now I am 5 weeks post partum so the shop is still closed .
-
God, it's been months. Pregnancy hasn't been a big aphrodisiac for either of us.
-
Ditto @ladyfingers. Pregnant me is not really into it, and my husband was too scared to do anything to "mess anything up" as he put it.
-
@aprk: My hubby was the same way during pregnancy! I told him it wasn't possible, but he was still weirded out.
-
We are 3-4 times a week. Used to be every dayers.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Everyday? Impressive!
-
We're 1-3 times a week, for awhile we were once every couple weeks until P started becoming easier & not so "high needs".
-
@Bao: yes, before pregnancy and all through the pregnancy!
Now with a baby it is harder to find she time. -
We don't even have kids and we only do it about 1-3x/week. Some weeks are better than others. I suck at putting out during the tww.
-
We are pretty steady at once a week, sometimes not having full blown sex but indulging in other things. I am happy with that amount, DH would like it a lot more often!
-
We're just about every other day...I can't handle not doing it. I would feel like we're both just parents and no longer a couple in love:)
-
About 3 times a week.
-
Almost everyday is something, not always sex. Sex 1-3 times per week I'd say. Sometimes more depending on the week! It would be 10 times per day if up to my husband. 1-2 times per week would be good with me!
-
@adnama: haha isn't that how every guy thinks?
-
Not that much during pregnancy!
-
These days about once a week. With the pregnancy I seem to go to bed earlier then him every night and I wake up earlier them him every morning.
I miss doing it more.
-
We're up to 2-3 times a week which is def more than before or during pregnancy (we were solid 1x a week). We're both happy with the amount, although we both wish it was more spontaneous...right now we plan around E.
-
we're ttc right now, so I said 2-3 times a week (which is probably the average number). Before ttc it was much lower. The pill was rough on my sex drive.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Damn! I wish I had your stamina.
We're once a weekers. We've been so exhausted because DD's always sick, and therefore we are... plus, she's still not sleeping through the night, which adds to the exhaustion.
-
We are on hiatus until I recover from my c section. During pregnancy we probably ddit once a month. Looking forward to getting back in the groove.
-
Fertility treatments and pregnancy completely killed our sex life. We had our first PP session last night and are going to try to get up to once a week this year.
-
@TurtleDoves: I totally agree with you!
DD still wakes six or more tines a night so I'm obviously tired...but I feel like for me, exhaustion combined with no sex would actually make me more of a wreck. Sex is therapeutic for me and I think it helps DH and I be better parents. It makes us realize we still love each other very much.
-
Before baby we were 3 times a week. Now we're lucky if it's 3 times a month. I know DH would love it more but I'm exhausted and my sex drive is zilch - I think b/c of BF. I'm hoping once LO gets more into solids my hormones will ease up a little and I'll have more interest.
-
1-4x a week!
-
We're 2-3 times s week. We use to be multiple times a day way back when. We're sad.
