"Normal" is what works for both members of a couple! But if there is a wide difference between you and your partner, then you need to try to change that to bring yourselves into synch. If one person is constantly frustrated, it can damage the relationship. But if you're both happy, don't feel like you have to fit yourselves into somebody else's idea of "normal."
You say there is no pathology, but I would suggest being tested for diabetes, which can diminish the sex drive in both males and females. A lot of people have diabetes and don't know it until there is serious, permanant damage done, so this could be a warning sign that could lead to treatment and keep you/your partner from things like blindness or kidney failure.
Good luck!

There is no such thing as normal. Normal is different things to different people. If everything else in your relationship is fine and both of you are satisfied with the quantity and quality of your sex life, I wouldn't worry. Also, most people who boast about their sexual prowess are usually exaggerating. Normal is what is normal for YOU. If, however, this is a sudden change from what it used to be, you might want to discuss it with your partner. Relationships are not about sex. Sex is just the bonus. I have stayed in many a bad relationship just because the sex was so good. I have also ruined a couple wonderful relationships because I didn't like the sex. Now I am at a point in my life where I see the horrible mistakes I made.
Talk to your partner. Not everyone has a high sex drive. Some people just like closeness and companionship and other compatiblities. It's only a problem when one partner has a vastly different drive than the other one. You have to look at the whole relationship and put it in perspective. If you think it is a problem, see a doctor. There may be something physical going on. Test for thyroid, the level of hormone in your birth control, etc.

It really depends on the persons sex drive. Some people just dont have a really strong drive. That does sound a bit drastic, I have only herd of maybe once or twice a month. But like I said it depends on the person. :)

This is completely a personal thing--it isn't normal if either one of you aren't satisfied. If you both are satisfied and things are going relatively smoothly in your relationship then this is fine for you. If either you or your partner would like more sex then that is a different matter that can cause a ton of other problems sometimes very gradually.

No. It indicates an absence of a sex drive.

It all depends on you. If you feel comfortable with that ammount of time, then your fine. But going by the stats, they are saying that the average is 3-4 times a week.

If my "other half" tried to tell me that once every 2 or 3 months was "normal"; he'd be packing his little red suitcase and going on down the highway !

That might be normal for an unmarried person; I have gone over a year when single. But it's not at all normal for a married couple.

Relax.
More can be less. Less can be fine. If BOTH partners are satisfied with the frequency then who the hell else matters? A lot depends on the ages of the partners.
If you are stressed about it, then you are probably wanting more, and therefore in your case, its not enough...
