In Tbird's ideal world, 4-5 times per week.

Hmmm, I need to have a talk with the husband.

Mrs. Out and I were talking about something similar last night. It started with an offhand comment about sister wives and having multiple women.


Having watched Sister Wives, I have to say you'd have to be the most patient man on the planet to have that many wives and live a successful/healthy plural marriage deal.

ETA: I think most guys think "ohhhhh multiple wives" but have no idea what they're getting into.

And 4-5 times a week is good enough for you?

4-5 is more realistic long term, IMO. Give a little time for some rest, time to come up with new ideas, to not have it so often that it becomes rote, etc.

But hey don't pin that on me with your hubby!

Serious question, what is the acceptable number of times per week?



i think a completely obtainable goal for every marriage should be once per week minimum.

our early years did not depict that as we got married young, started having kids about 13 months later, and devolved quickly along with the marriage.

since reaching the 9 year mark once a week has been a minimum and both seem happy with that. in fact since then there have not been a lot less than 2.

Oh I won't pin it on you.

ETA: Pigfeet, the answer to that question is yes.

Thanks

Yeah, I wish I could say that I'd be up for it multiple times a day, every day of the week, but even BBC needs a break every now and then.

Main issue for us since we've been married has been Uncle Sam being a cockblock, the dirty old fricker

I'm 21 and all the options besides Til Death Do Us Part aren't even marriages IMO. Sounds more like business negotiations to me.

All this bullshite making some thing complicated that isn't supposed to be. Marriage is commitment to one person. Not ready for it, dont get married.

How can something be the norm if none of us have ever heard of it?

Till Death Do Us Part is working pretty well for my wife and I.

We used to be at about 3-4 times a week, but since the chest burster came along we're down to once a week. Being pregnant hasn't dampened her needs much, I'm just terrified of hurting the little one.

My wife asks me all the time if I would want sister wives. I just laugh at her and tell her no!
