  • 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.

    • You described almost exactly what’s happening.

    • 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.

    • Well-said.

  • 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

    • lol slut

    • Ya, I know. That's what my man loves to call me in bed and I love it ;)

    • you are every man's slut. like you'd sleep with any guy friend so

  • Am I single or not? usually, physically it's every 4 weeks, 6 before I go nuts and flirt with inanimate objects. But if I'm in a relationship it would need to be more if it's available.

    • In this scenario you’re in a relationship and live together.

    • At least once a week but ideally 2/3 times

  • Sometimes it has to suffice as work, kids, life in general prevents getting it any more often.

  • I want it every day... 2+ times a day if he can do it...

  • Hell no! I'm not dead! How about 3-4 times per week?

  • Oh I would find that difficult to live with.

  • I'm single at the moment and going crazy lol but I always liked it in the morning and when going to bed ,, but that's just sex there is much more to it than just sex

  • nope... but it depends on rest of relationship and how much energy I have. Reality is... sex is a part of our energy. If am exhausted, down and depressed, in fear and worry... the mating stuff kinda turns off. That make sense?

    Is he must worn out, down on his luck as I noted below, not feeling worthy, emotionally being beatup?

  • Noo way. I need at least 3 times a week

  • Is it enough physically yes. I'd take that deal if it's what's available but if I had control over it I prefer a more regular interval

  • I'd be happy with once a decade at this point.

    • same

  • Usually yes

  • No. Not enough.

  • I’d prefer twice a day or twice a day every other day and one sex day out of the month.

    But if I had to settle for once a week I might. I don’t think I would though.

  • Sometimes yes, some no.

  • Nope, I'd at least want about 3x per week

  • Once a day isn’t enough for me

  • Yeah

    • You are too beautiful at least once a day and twice on Sunday.

    • @wildbilly123 😂😂😂

  • I can go without it for long periods if we’re apart if I need to but if I’m with him physically I want to every day

    • We live together. 😒

    • Ouch

    • That sucks I’m sorry

  • No way...

  • Ideally, no.
    Yourself?

  • 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.

    • I jerk off right next to him at this point. Doesn’t notice a thing...

    • Do you two have kids? How long has it been like this?

    • No kids. It’s been like this ever since he became a mechanic. So about 8 months.
