Not generally. It is better than no sex, to be sure. However, in general, though I would not complain I need more.

My girlfriend and I - we live together - have sex abut 4 to 6 times a week. I need that sense of physical release. I also need that sense of connection to my girlfriend and of being loved and wanted and respected. I also, candidly, need to be just a raw animal. Basically little more than a beast acting on instinct and nothing else.

The stresses of the day. The love I feel for my girlfriend. (We have been together for 14 years, lived together for 12, and have three of the most beautiful little gifts a woman can give to a man. Gifts who get all excited when I get home and run up shouting, "Daddy!!!") Sex gives me all that and while I can live without it, physically and psychologically I need it.

Reduce that to once a week and it would reassure me, I guess. However, I would feel lonely and even a bit desperate. It would be like going to week to week in a constant state of wanting and needing. The old saw has it that "for a woman, there is no sex until there is love. For a man, there is no love until there is sex."

Intellectually I know that is not actually true. Emotionally though, I need that sense of being loved and primal that sex gives me. Being connected to someone I desperately need in my life and also being my essential elemental self as nature intended me to be. Raw and primitive and yet connected and loving.

Yup, that is a bit of a messy answer. However, what I do know is that it gets me through a week and once a week just would not be enough.

Well, I hope what I offered helps in some small way. I guess what I would add is that while sex is not the most important thing in a relationship, it IS important. You really do need that sense of both connection and animal release and that is not at all wrong or surprising.

Best wishes.

I don't even see my friends with benefits once a week - it's more like 2 or 3 times a month, but we generally have sex 2 or 3 times on those days when we get together, so, my answer is NO. And that would definitely be no where near enough if we were living together.

Oh you're just oversexed Mr. Oracle... What a pain you'd be!!! (just kidding... you are genuinely suffering poor Mr O...) BUT, for some people once a week or twice a month is fine. You have to find out this information about people by being with them, figuring out how sexual/sensual they are in daily life... It is a job to discover. If they aren't, it will ALWAYS be a problem..

No way. If I lived with my partner, we would be having sex every single day. Sadly we don't live together yet so we have sex when we can and it is usually 2-3 times in a day. But once a week is not enough. Even when I had a friends with benefits, we only had sex once a week and I wanted more. Doesn't work for me lol

It's more then I'm getting, but it's a somewhat frustrating amount, unless you're physically apart and only get one opportunity a week, in which case you'd LIKE more, but enjoy the hell out of it and look forward to it.

But a relationship where you're together all the time, once a week you have sex, and 5-6 times a week you wait for the person to be asleep or go hang out in the bathroom for 20 minutes to jerk off is frustrating and depressing.

Sometimes it would be. I think 1-2 times a week is fairly normal for busy couples that both work. But in saying that there are times when i would need more. Like when its raining and cold and I just want to spend the day with my girl in bed cuddling and making love over and over.

This sounds wholly reasonable. It's quite depressing if you are not aligned sexually. But this is why, you hope, that you find out about your proclivities while dating or living together... and you take time, like a year or so, to find out if you're suited... in that way... Sex and money... AND in addition in longterm relationships, illness, menopause also can interfere with sexuality. Make your sex life a PRIORITY in your relationship. Do whatever you have to do to keep that intimacy alive and well. Healthy couples can be intimate well into their 80s!!! What a joy... I'm looking for that superman who's gonna be with me into our 90s!!! Wanna go out on an orgasm!!! ahahahahaha
