how often do normal married couples have sex per week. just wondering.?

Answer 1

National average is once every three days (about 120 times a year)

Answer 2

It depends on if the married couple has children, how old the children are and what the couple's schedule is. It also depends on how long the couple has been married and how attracted they are to one another.

Some married couples have sex 3-4 times per week and some don't even have it every month...

Answer 3

I'm interested in this question myself. But there is one problem with the question. What constitutes a "normal" couple?

I have a fairly good, very long term relationship (over 20 years) but I don't think that's "normal" these days. We get along pretty well and based on what I see here, that ain't normal either.

I like once a day if possible. We don't always get to it though but other days, it can be twice. So on average, that's 5 to 8 times a week. I can't imagine how people live with these 3 or 4 times a month relationships. Why be married in that case? I don't get that. I imagine actively dating singles have more sex than that.

I'm amazed at all the stuff I read on here about guys who won't put out. I never turn my wife down. Hell no... I'd have to be near death -- and even then, a request would revive me. Sadly, I think a lot of people play stupid games with sex. Sad for them. Lots of people missing out on a lot of action in their own bedrooms because their thinking is messed up.

Life is a lot happier with a lot of sex. I don't think it's normal not to want to play around with each other a lot when you're married. It's just so natural. You're both there and why not? If you can be with a woman for a long time, certainly you must like her enough to want to get close with her and have a little excitement in your life.

Granted not all sex is mind blowing but it doesn't need to be either. It's relaxing at times, exciting at times, and even sometimes it can be boring. But boring sex should be the exception to the rule.

What a lot of guys fail to realize is that a little extra effort will get you a lot more attention in the bedroom. If she stays home with the kids, help with the dishes, take the kids away when you can, help clean things up, and just make sure she feels you're doing all you can to ease her burden. No scorecards. And if she works outside the home, do more than your share of the cooking, cleaning, and shopping. You'll be happier and you'll get more action. That's a small price to pay for a better life! Oh and just talk to her! So many guys don't get that. Women love for you to talk with them. They love to tell you all that they think about. I love to sit and listen to my woman. I love her voice and I love sharing my thoughts with her. Women are really wonderful that way.

So many couples are missing out and thats why we hear about couples who have sex only a few times a month.

Thanks for asking the question. I'll be looking to see what sort of answers you get.

Answer 4

As often as they're hungry for it. That could range from once a day to a couple times a week, to once a week to whatever. It depends on the individual and the couple.

There are no rules to this, no norms, no averages.

When you want sex, you have some sex.

Answer 5

I've been married for 18 years. On a normal week without stress from the kids and work we have sex about 5 times in 7 days.

Answer 6

There is no normal schedule or times. Lifestyles dictate a lot. Some couples are just as happy being together without the lovemaking all the time, they are happy and secure and best friends. At least once a week though.

Answer 7

to have a normal healthy marriage it should be at least 3 times a week but usually the older the marriage is the less.
i've been married for 4 and a half, we have one 2 year girl so we are super busy and have no time for sex so we decided to implement a rule that we should have a min of 3 times a week to keep our marriage healthu

Answer 8

Well my husband and I got married a 8 months ago, so we still like having sex a lot! I would say we have sex about 12-20 times a week. It just depends whats on our agenda for that week. If we are busy or not.

Answer 9

I've been married for more then 5 years but with this guy for almost 7 when we are doing good with eachother about 2-3 times a week. when we are having a bad week he'll be lucky if its even once.

Answer 10

We are 3 and C (her) and D (me). We have four kids between us, 6, 8, 14, and 16. You have to make time for each other. Not just for sex, but if you're doing it right, your time together will lead to sex. Yes, I know it takes a lot of effort sometimes, especially with your three kids. But you have to do it or you run the risk of losing touch with each other. It's vitally important to any healthy relationship.

Answer 11

I think that it truely depends on the week and the stresses that are involved. Sometimes my husband and I don't miss a day and other times it may be the entire week due to one of us being stressed or just tired......so i guess when you average it all out....probably 4-5 times a week is probably average for us!
