My answer is 2-3. DH's answer is 5-7. Of course the real number right now is more like 0-1.
What about you and your SO?

hahahaha so funny. Um my number would probably be 2-3 as well, and DH like every night lol
Since DS fights sleep, we don't get to bed until midnight or later most nights, so it doesn't happen as often. It's been maybe 1-2x a week since we started back up again.

3 for me, like 1 for DH. But I'd like my 3 within 24 hours...
Post partum is the first time our sex drives have been the same.

It depends. There are times when I feel like 2x/day is my ideal (which sadly is a little more than DH would prefer), but on average maybe 4x/week? Maybe 5? It's definitely increased over the past few years

before I got pregnant we were doing it 4-5x a week.
post pregnancy, I can't remember the last time we did it! HAHA

I'd say maybe 2-3 for me, DH is happy with whatever he gets LOL.
Since being pregnant, my drive has significantly increased, big belly and all! So sometimes DH needs a break and I get maybe 4-5 times per week.

@Shimmer: I know right! We did it allll the time while I was pregnant, I think pregnant sex is the best.

@Coco Bee: I was hoping that I wouldn't be one of the pregnant ladies that had an aversion to sex. It definitely has been the best so far! I'm kind of worried about what's to come after delivery/healing and such. I've gotten spoiled!
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@Shimmer: during the first trimester I didn't want it at all, but after that I did all the time. Even in the third trimester. I did it at 37 weeks hoping to induce labor lol
It was really hard waiting afterwards, but I was in so much pain that it was too scary for me to even imagine it. It took us over 3 months to start trying again.

I'd like to everyday and so would DH but it's not as easy as before being 31w pregnant so I'd say 3 times for now....and up it later when I'm not pregnant. I still have my strong drive but sometimes it kills the mood when you feel like Buddha....:(
kiwi / 553 posts
@Coco Bee: I figured we'd be waiting a bit after delivery... I hope things aren't awful at first!
@TurtleDoves: I hear ya on the Buddha feeling... I'm measuring 42 weeks right now! Dh is on board for whatever I want at this point lol but it has definitely been tough these last couple of weeks!

I'm lame, twice a week is good for me. We just don't see each other much

@mrs. bird: You're not lame - it's what works for you! Wish you could see each other more!

I had ZERO sex drive while pregnant and DH did not want to have sex with a pregnant lady... so yeah. lol
My ideal number would be 2-4. Right now, it's like 0.
grapefruit / 4136 posts
Woah. Y'all are showing me up BIG time...lol! Even before we had J I was a once a week kind of gal...now? Once a month....? Maybe I need to figure something out to up my drive. He'd like it 3-4x/week...HA that doesn't happen. Poor fella.

Ideally in a perfect world with little stress, plenty of sleep, and young libido's I think both DH and I would be 3-4x week. In real life I'd say 2-3x a week but the reality is about 1 a week - sometimes more, sometimes less. Many times we both acknowledge the desire but feel too lazy or tired to see it through. haha.
pineapple / 12234 posts
Ideally, 4x a week. DH is more every day. I'd rather have quality over quantity so 1-2 times a week is how its been. I hate lazy sex, it has to be all or nothing haha.
coconut / 8475 posts
@HeatherlovesKenny: exaaaactly. If we have to talk ourselves into having the energy and then, its just mediocre, I'll get irritated. I'd rather not at all. Dh still would. He doesn't even care if i'm awake or not:) So not me...
pomegranate / 3890 posts
i would say 1-2 times a week, we cant have sex yet bc im only 4 weeks pp but we both miss it a lot!
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
3-4x a week is ideal for both of us. We don't usually do it that much though.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
I actually have a higher sex drive than DH, so for me it's 5-7, for him probably 4-5.. usually 5 is our good balance, so it works! We had a rough patch where my libido dropped to ZERO on one brand of BC pills, I was so much happier when I switched off and got back to our normal! We are also TTC, so hellooo good excuse for knockin boots!
cherry / 201 posts
for me 2x a week is good. DH would of course probably prefer it to be 4-5. since getting pregnant it was not happening 1st trimester as I was super sick and that was the last thing on our minds. second trimester hit and I was horny, it was about 3-4. well, we just learned my cervix is measuring short so the Dr said no sexual activity. At the moment its nothing
cantaloupe / 6164 posts
luckily we have about the same libido, and we both prefer 2-3 times a week. unfortunately the past couple of months have not been very "active" since i've been so, so sick. poor hubby.
eggplant / 11287 posts
We do it pretty consistently at 3 times a week. However before I had the baby and all throughout pregnancy we were doing it every single day. For some reason since having DD my drive just isn't as insane. I am great with 3 or 4 times a week now (since 6 weeks pp). DH would probably do it 5 times a week or more like we used to...but I am just not up for that right now!

Before pregnancy 3-4 times a weeks was good and DH would have liked it everyday. Now that I'm pregnant my drive has dropped ALOT. During my 1st and 2nd tri I wanted it 1-2 times a week and DH wanted it 4-5 times. Now at 31 weeks pregnant the logistics of having sex with my rather larger belly has dropped DH's drive Mine has increased though and right now I wou,ld like it almost daily but DH has stopped trying and we are down to maybe once a week. At this point I think he feels weird because my belly actually gets in the way of most positions we used to do.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6703 posts
Right now I am more than okay with once a week, but I know Hubs would prefer 3-4 times a week. He's been sweet about it. He did ask if we can make-out a few times a week though, as another way of being intimate.
cantaloupe / 6923 posts
For me 7-10 times a week wouldn't be enough. For dh 1 time a week is good. Ugh!
GOLD / pear / 1845 posts
my sex drive is crap right now, I hate trading sex for sleep.
So in my normal life 2-3 (which would make us both happy) but right now I will barely manage 1.
clementine / 814 posts
Pre pregnancy it was everyday
During 2 times the entire pregnancy
Now Ideally
me: 3-4 times a week
dh: everyday
reality: about 5 times a week.

My number would be 1-2, his would be 5-7! I tried to compromise pre-pregnancy and do 3, but now we're down to 1 and I don't even want to do that! haha
pomegranate / 3398 posts
Ours is currently 3 to 5 since we are BD'ing like crazy people. I would be happy with 2 and he would be happy with 7 lol
GOLD / papaya / 10166 posts
Wow.... I guess I'm boring, but I'm ok w/ just once a week. That might be because LO is 6 months old and still waking up every 2 hours. (I'll choose sleep over sex any day) *sigh*
coconut / 8681 posts
Pre-pregnancy it was 4-5 times a week, during TTC it was more, now we’re on a steady 1-2 times a week. I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant. We’ll see what it balances out to once the little guy is here!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@Shimmer: Sadly I am one of those that has a version to sex, it just doesn't not appeal to me at all. I have lost all drive. I really hope it comes back, I miss that intimate time with my DH and I think we will both be less edgy! haha
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
I don't think either of us has lost the "drive" per se, but a blossoming belly just makes the idea of sex, well...not sexy and a little weird to both of us! We have both done our best to overcome this...Prepreg, we did it 4-6 times a week. But since the belly has really exploded, we're more at like 2-3x. And the belly gets in the way when we're both trying to "pretend" like it's not there and that we're having a hot time without a baby in between us....DH didn't want to do missionary at all because he didn't want to be on top of the baby, for weirdness and safety reasons. I told him it would be okay and just to shut up and do it (lol) and sure enough, with every movement, my belly hit against him and we both ended up busting out laughing - kind of a mood killer when your baby is thumping your torso, haha!
GOLD / pomelo / 5167 posts
oh my.... we have zero sex. I think I'd be okay with 1x a week. We haven't had sex in almost 1 year. Time to get my mirena in so we can start it up again. but clearly we aren't in the norm.
GOLD / pomelo / 5167 posts
@MrsBrewer: Yup!!! no kidding. DH has this thing he can't have sex while i'm pregnant. Total blockage. And now, I'm almost 3 months PP. I'm ready, but he hates condoms, so he has to wait! (til i get my IUD) hehe, I'm not taking chances.
