What % do you think sex is in a marriage

Question

We’re going on 8 years together. We have a 10 year age difference him being the older. He does not have a high libido and I have. I do enjoy sex. It’s gotten to a point where sometimes he makes me feel like I ask for it too much. And it’s been a while since we rarely do it. 
How much is to much sex? 
Or how little is too little sex?

Answer

We’ve been married for 8 years, before getting pregnant we’d both want sex first thing in the morning and before bed during weekdays. On weekends we’d seriously find every opportunity 🤦🏼‍♀️ We couldn’t even make it home from our dinner date without finding somewhere to go...do grown up stuff 😂 Now that I’m only 14 weeks pregnant I’m so sick that I DONT want it very often, but he’s still trying to get in my pants every chance he gets 🙄. Right now I only am allowing like twice a week hahah. It’s torturous for him. But my aversion is semen right now. Like no joke 🤢 However, knowing how my body reacts to pregnancy (this is my 4th and final), in the next few weeks my libido will be back through the roof. 
Maybe he should get his testosterone tested, they can play a huge role in libido and fatigue. Worth a shot!

Answer

“According to David Schnarch, PhD, through a study conducted with more than 20,000 couples, he found that only 26% of couples are hitting the once-a-week mark, with the majority of the respondents reporting sex only once or twice a month, or less!”
“However, another study, printed in The University of Chicago Press about 10 years ago, stated that married couples are having sex about seven times a month, which is a little less than twice a week. And in a third study, it was reported that out of the 16,000 adults interviewed, the older participants were having sex about 2 to 3 times per month, while younger participants said they were having sex about once a week.”
“Most sex therapists agree that having sex less than 10 times a year is reason enough to label your marriage a sexless one.”
“Dr. Kerner says, “Sex seems to be rapidly falling to the bottom of America’s to-do list; but, in my experience, when couples stop having sex their relationships become vulnerable to anger, detachment, infidelity and, ultimately, divorce. I believe that sex matters: It’s the glue that keeps us together and, without it, couples become ‘good friends' at best, or ‘bickering roommates' at worst.””
*food for thought. Consider having his hormones checked. And think about a therapist. 🍀

Answer

I think once a month is too little. We try at least once a week (we have a baby so it’s harder to have sex more often). Have you had a conversation with him about it? Like ask when an ideal time of day is or if he just doesn’t feel attractive enough or if there is something you can do to get the ball rolling? My husband and I used to have this type of conversation a lot in the beginning of our marriage.

Answer

It really depends on the couple tbh. Some have way higher sex drives then others. For my marriage, weve got to have sex at least twice a week. We have 2 kids and I'm pregnant with our 3rd and final so right now its about 4 times a week when we usually do it more when I'm not pregnant

Answer

Once every month or once every 2 nonths is too little in my opinion.
