How often are you intimate with your partner?

2-3, sometimes more. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old. I tend to believe that sex drive is more hormonal than circumstantial. Not always but often.
I would say anywhere between 3-6 times a week. But my sex drive was never affected from having kids.
This is such a varying thing .. I found that I was more likely around ovulation than other times of the month. I've got 5 kids and it has altered over the years and they're close in age so age isn't a factor to me... (Eldest turned 7 today). I've gone from numerous times in a day before to a matter of once in three months 🤣 there can be so many varying factors... How you feel, hormones, how your kids are when it comes to it, not enough time or bad timing, illnesses etc. It's okay to not be in the mood. It's okay to not have sex. However you feel is valid. If you're worried it's best seeing a Doctor. Some medication and underlying conditions can also have an impact xx
3-4x a week but drive went down for a few months both times after birth.
It slowed down after we had our son (when he was in our room) then got back to 2-3 times a week. Then we had our daughter (8 months ago) and my recovery had taken longer so we're maybe once every 2 weeks. I'm feeling better so hopefully it will increase again. Although, I haven't really wanted it often, don't know if that's bf, tiredness or it just being uncomfortable when we do
it's been ages because baby won't sleep without me😅
Try per year 🤣
My sex drive dropped to 0 for roughly 6 or so months basically from the third trimester of pregnancy to a few months pp but then I got it back and we went back to normal
I see that I’m a minority in this conversation, as I’m intimate with my partner daily. I have found that even if I’m not necessarily “in the mood”, that connecting is still really important for our relationship and overall connection. Plus once things get started I always end up enjoying myself and it is something I look forward to every night. But physical touch and acts of service are both of our love languages so I guess it really just depends on your personal relationship. I feel more emotionally connected when we physically connect so I definitely make it a priority, even on nights that I may be a little tired.
it really varies! usually 2-3 times but sometimes more sometimes less. within the first year of my daughters life we had long dry spells
I used to struggle with low sex drive but I started using some medicine and I had to messge the vendor and thank her lol. My partner takes it as well just so our energy matches each other lol
These ladies that are going at it multiple times a month are you breastfeeding? I feel so bad for my husband I can barely give it to him once or twice a month. My sex drive has been non-existent since birth. I really think it's from breastfeeding.
@Ife what medicine...I need some lol
@Sarah my thoughts exactly

3-4 a week for us. Our drives match. Even if I’m not in the mood, he’s really good at getting me in the mood.
@Mar I messaged u
@Mar when i was breastfeeding it was still at least once a week. your hormones can be crazy and unpredictable!
We don’t always get the opportunity (co sleep by choice with our 1.5 year old and work very long hours sometimes not seeing each other for 48+ hours), but we have a lot of intimacy that isn’t sex throughout the week with a lot of build up and good tension. It is very rewarding when we do get to connect and have sex. I also feel it helps me have a sex drive because there’s no pressure from him or complaints about the frequency- just a lot of interest and playful action in between. Even if we don’t have sex for 3 weeks at times, we stay connected and voice/show interest. I think that makes a big difference in our relationship personally.
Currently it’s been 5 months since we’ve had P in V sex. And we won’t be having it again until his sperm test shows zero sperm.
@Mar this is common when breastfeeding! i follow thebreastfeedingmentor on instagram and i'm sure she has info about this x
I’m breastfeeding and we have sex around 4 times a week.
Sex drive is only now recovering 2 years pp. Not that we had sex regularly. I believe we ate both gray asexual
During ovulation week, sex like every day. The rest of the month, basically nothing. Hormones are crazy.
I don’t even remember the last time
A week? Try per month 😂
