What is a 'normal' sex life for married couples?

Impromtu poll - married couples only. How often do you have sex? I'm trying to prove to my wife that our 'sex life' (such as it is), isn't normal. Please answer. ThanksWhat is a 'normal' sex life for married couples?
once every month or twoWhat is a 'normal' sex life for married couples?
Dont push your wife into having sex, and she shouldnt push you into it. If you think you need help you two should go to a sex therapist OR at least a counsler sounds like you may have some issues
I am averaging 2-3 times a week.
Normal is what you make of it.. my husband and I try to have sex two or three times a week, but I know of couples that have sex less (and one couple that has sex more) and are all very happy with their relationships.
They have sex before taxes, when one or the other needs something, and only as needed.





lol. jaded view of marriage and sex.
5 times a week, and, the freakier the better. oil, toys etc etc.
Usually daily. But on average 5 times a week. (I am a woman) and even if I'm not really in the mood, I'll do it cuz I end up enjoying it, plus I know my hubby needs %26amp; loves it :)
Whenever she's in the mood.
Once or twice a week....it would be much more if schedules and children allowed!
All I know is when she wants it, she gets it. I never turn her down if she wants sex. Does not work that way for me, however.





I'd say we average 4 to 5 times a week.
Every other day!
How old are you? Not that it makes a huge difference, but my husband and I are both middle aged, newly married, very hot for each other, but we only can work out having sex once or twice a week due to schedules or being too tired. But we always make the effort to have some kind of intimate connection every night.





It's pointless to compare it to other people or to try to force other people's patterns on her. The bottom line is that a ';normal'; sex life is whatever works for both of you. If that's twice a day, twice a week, or twice a month, if it's a compromise that works well, then that's what normal will be for you. If you want more, you need to talk about it with her and find out what's going on. Maybe she isn't getting satisfied, maybe it's become physically uncomfortable for her, maybe she needs more passion and foreplay, maybe you don't compliment her enough, maybe she's just tired and/or resentful from trying to get everything done (have you offered to do the housework recently?). These are common issues, but you need to talk about it, with a counselor if necessary.
My husband and I have sex aound 5 nights a week.. Been married 2 years, together 6 years total
I think instead of being here taking a poll, you should be working on finding a happy medium with your wife. Somewhere between the amount of sex you desire (my guess for you is every single day) and the amount of sex that you get (my guess is only once per week or less) is the norm for most couples.





Depending on what's going on in our lives, we have sex anywhere between 1 and 4 times per week. It varies. Stop being so head strong and argumentative and eager to prove a point to your wife....if you're softer toward her outside the bedroom it could help your sex life.
Normal is what the two people in the relationship state is normal. What works form the DW and I, may not work for the two of you. If it is numbers you are looking for, Every night and more on the weekends. My dear wife and i can not get enough of each other.
Statistics say 3-4 times a week without kids, 1-2 times a week with kids, which is still not that bad.
It's normal to have sex 5 times a week? OH MY GOD who are you people?
honestly. haven't done so in almost a year. ';normal'; depends on the couple.
every single hour hers is already red as a peach and shes seeing a doctor so now i have to do it behind her... as soon as she comes back from buying painkillers i will rip her like hell! oh yeah baby
A few times a week.
Depends, do you have children? sometimes that can slow things down a little, some women dont have high sex drives and dont care to have it that often, as well as men but i personally am married and we have sex once a day sometimes twice a day usually at night after the baby is asleep but we might miss one night a week because of a arguement or we are mad at one another for something . Sometimes the man or women that wont have sex with their partner just dont care to please their spouce , i know some who want it all the time because they enjoy or sometimes just want to keep their man happy. Either way i think that sex is VERY important in a marriage, a women needs to feel wantd needed, sexy and so on and they need to feel that from their husband im not sure how it is for men with that, but i also know men have needs too. Id ask her why she isnt into it if there is anything you can do maybe some forplay with help? I cant say if its normal or not because i know alot of couples who dont have sex but once a month i have a high sex drive (i hear its worse than a mans) but i say its rather normal once a day at least and if you have a kid yes its harder to do but still once a day is good . If i didnt have my daughter id say 2 or 3 times a day lol.but life gets in the way.... like i said try talking with her about it.. maybe there is something she is needing ? Instead of just asking her why not do something romantic yes yes it may be alot of work but it will be worth it. like i said though you definatly should try to discuss it with her. Sex is VERY important in a marriage
im not sure what your normal is but some weeks every night others maybe 2 times. it just varies as long as your both happy what does it matter???
About 5 times a week. (We recognise that we're over-achievers and that we probably have sex more often than a lot of couples.)





Normal in your marriage is whatever works for you in your marriage.
Normal is relative to the people involved so this is truly a pointless question.





If you have needs that aren't being met then they need to be addressed and vice/versa. If there's a conflict of needs and the meeting of needs then it needs to be worked out some other way other than a poll in here. One idea and I'm going out on a limb here is civil communication between the two of you and a compromise. If it can't be worked out that way then try counseling.
For me and my husband it's about 4-5 times a week on average.





EDIT~ Alot of women don't like to have sex with their husbands because they may be embarrassed of their bodies, like if they gained weight from having babies or lack of exercise. Maybe if you tried to put on a couple candles and had as little light as possible, she might give it a go.
When ever both wife and husband want to do it at the same time.
There is no normal... Every person and every marriage is different.... You may have one couple that feels one a month is good... and one that feels a couple times a week is good... and some that think every day isn't enough! LOL





I would like it more often, we go a couple weeks of nothing then all the sudden one week we'll have it 4-6 times... I keep trying for more... and more often. But, he is happy with the way things are.
well it depends on different factors... do you have kids? we have a 6 month old and we have sex once a week if we're lucky!! at the end of my pregnancy and for the first 2 months after baby was born we had NO sex. in saying that though we would love to be able to have more sex but we just don't have the energy!!
