Ask XY: How Often Do Men (Want To) Have Sex?

In An Ideal World, How Often Would You Have Sex?
In The REAL World, How Often Do You Have Sex?

Mr. U - Often; not as often.

Mr. V - In a perfect world 4 times a day, morning sex, afternoon delight, before sleep sex and finally my personal fave; wake up in the middle of the night and you’re already having sex. And I live in this perfect world.

Mr. W - Real world – once a week.  Ideal world – every day, probably.

Mr. X - I would love to have sex once or twice a week.  In reality I have sex about once a month.  Hey that’s you guys!

Mr. Y - There are too many variables to answer this.

Mr. Z - Ideally - Every day.  Reality – Ugh.  I don’t even want to talk about it.

    I’m always really interested in this one. As a woman in a long term relationship, I have sex 3-4 times a week. I consider myself pretty sexually …hm, lets say “able” and that’s enough sex for me.

      I always harass and tease my hubby necause I feel like “man” in our relationship, always hassling him for sex. He has problems with headaches and often doesn’t feel well, and he often gets post-coital headaches too. Ideally, I’d like sex about three times a week… In reality, it comes in bursts…. sometimes a few times in a week, and then nothing for two weeks. o.O

        Sex can reduce headaches, well orgasm can to be fair. I have hereditary massive migraines and sometimes I dont want to when my bf asks me. He convinces me eventually but afterwards I feel much better. You should even maybe suggest a steamy shower and a massage, it will also help with his headaches. Just a suggestion :)

        Well, there is such a thing as post coital headaches. His seem to result from the change in blood pressure that occurs during sex and orgasm. He also has mild chiari which puts additional pressure on his brain and spine, so in this case, I don’t think there’s much that would help, short of surgery. :(

    This is interesting. Thanks. Reminds me of that dialogue from Annie Hall where the therapist asks how often they have sex, and Alvy says: Hardly ever! Three times a week! And Annie posed with the same question says: Constantly! Three times a week!

    Come on, none of you guys are going to admit that your girlfriend is the one who wants more sex than you? LIARS! We won’t judge…

    Interesting.
    Especially in light of my rant today about stereotypes! :) Nice to hear I’m not completely delusional about this.

    As the saying goes, ‘Once a knight, always a knight; twice a knight and you’re doing all right!’
    Seriously, once a day and twice a day at weekends would suit me. Reality: we have a little baby who is very good a waking up just when we might otherwise…
