    Depends what said relationship is predicated on.

    If ur sexually attracted as much as possible 🤷🏼‍♀️

    If ur not sexually attracted once a month 😂

    Me and my grandma only do it a few times a month but we still have a pretty solid relationship.

  4. SillySub2001 Avatar

    I think it’s important to have sex at the very least once a week, given this couple values sex.

    It’s important for your bond, physical health, mental health. Lack of sex can absolutely lead to “roommate phases”

    How long is a piece of rope?

    There is no set answer for this, it is entirely dependent on that specific relationship.
    As long as both people feel content.

    I would say there is no exact amount. It is best if You match with your partner in how much sex You need. There is nothing wrong with having sex once a year or once a day as long as You both feel comfortable with it.

    35 times a month but for 32 of those it can be by myself

    Once a day at least

  10. OGDarkman Avatar

    At least once a week dependant on if it’s with a women her time of the month but if circumstances like mine where i only see her on the weekends and parents are home and such then as long as spending Time together that’s fine too as long as the period isn’t too long for intimacy on a physical level

    For me it really depends, I have weeks where (leading op to my mentruation) that I have a very low libido and I barley have sex. But there are weeks that I have 3/4 times a day with the right guy

  12. Kinky_introverts Avatar

    Like 3 to 4 times a week

  13. LongjumpingMousse832 Avatar

    However many times the people in the relationship mutually decide they’d both like it.

  14. mercurialtaylor Avatar

    As many times as you both want it

  15. No_Nobody_3299 Avatar

    Everyday, twice a day.

  16. OsRus02 Avatar

    Twice a week

  17. Helpdaddy Avatar

    Often enough to prevent resentment on one side or the other, that’s the basic.

    Beyond that, the intimacy builds and strengthens the whole relationship I believe.

  18. Kooky_Specialist8476 Avatar

    Minimum 4, but sometimes we’ll be really horny and fuck everyday or a few times a day for a few days. 

  19. PrimaryConnection960 Avatar

    Personally, every day

  20. drunky_crowette Avatar

    Once every week or two?

    As much as my future partner wants. I have a super high libido, I am always down lol…

  22. g-spot_pioneer Avatar

    3-4x a week. It’s not hard to carve out 40 seconds a day for it

  23. DominViola34 Avatar

    I like at least three times a week and I push for almost every day lol

  24. abnimashki Avatar

    Until it falls off

  25. RelativeHot7249 Avatar

    That depends entirely on the relationship. Some people want it often, some not as often, and some not at all. I think communication is key to make sure you and your partner are on the same page.

  26. Eyespop4866 Avatar

    With my barber, never. With my girl, as often as she’s interested.

  27. Mysterious_Cat_8802 Avatar

    about 2-3 times a week. Everyday when we’re on holiday tho :))

  28. Automatic_Teach1271 Avatar

    Prefer before bed every night. Need? Twice a week or im questioning things. We dont got kids

  29. RepeatAggravating524 Avatar

    Need or get. I need it 2-3 times a week, get it 2-3 times a year maybe.

  30. Prixm Avatar

    Long-term, once or twice a week is good enough for me. More than that is great, but once a week is a must to keep a relationship happy if you ask me.

  31. LL4L Avatar

    It depends on how much you do personally.

    And then find the person that agrees and wants the same.

  32. callmemommy___ Avatar

    I would every day if I was able to. At least 3-4 times a week will do for now though.

  33. No_Whole_301 Avatar

    Daily for us! It’s more about the connection though than “finishing”

  34. PalpitationCold4022 Avatar

    As much as is required to keep you from cheating.

  35. KajunQueen1907 Avatar

    I want and need sex 2-3 times a week!

  36. Ok-disaster2022 Avatar

    Well I’ve had a great friendship since college and never felt the need to fuck any of my friends so I think never is a great answer.

    And since OP didn’t specify which relationship I’m terrified to ask how things are going with their parents. 

  37. offeringathought Avatar

    Now that we’re married I can have sex anytime she wants.

  38. f03nix Avatar

    Need, 0 … but I’ll still be happy with 1-2 times a day. I enjoy masturbation too, love the convenience of only having to focus on yourself.

  39. GrahamEcward Avatar

    I would need a relationship to be constructive…

    But if we imagine that I have one, I’d assume it would be several times a day 50% of the time…

  40. TheDented Avatar

    2-3 times per day

  51. whatstefansees Avatar

    I have a higher drive than my wife;we go for it about once per week at age 60 after 25 years of marriage. It’s a compromise…

  52. lettersfromluna Avatar

    I don’t count the days — I count the devotion. If we’re aligned, once can feel like a ritual… and twice like worship.
    More is lovely, but meaning is mandatory. 🔥

  54. FunWith_DarkJin Avatar

    You need to have no sex in a relationship. So to answer you question: 0 times.

    However, you can do it as often as you both want to.

    Some couples want to do it no more than 0 times ever. Some want to do it multiple times per day. Others want it somewhere on the line between those two points.

  55. Dragon2730 Avatar

    At least once a week? I feel like that’s the bare minimum

  56. ASIAN_SEN5ATION Avatar

    Daily, twice on weekends/holidays/special occasions.

    A man can dream!

  57. Federal-Ability676 Avatar

    3 times a week or more

  58. mrsrobinsonkindof Avatar

    I would have sex every day if I could but I have a high libido 🤷‍♀️

  59. Bobatronic Avatar

    Get to and need to are very different things.

    When libidos are not aligned relationships can become somewhat sexless over resentment, lack of effort, lack of intimacy.

  60. Lmagnoo Avatar

    I’d prefer twice a week, while my wife prefers twice a month, so we compromise on twice a month.

  61. Alexastria Avatar

    I don’t need to but I would like to. If my partner is unhygienic or if I’m doing all the work I’d rather just rub one out instead and have a lot less cleanup.

  62. ____jump---- Avatar

    Not as much as this question gets asked on reddit.

  63. TheMuffingtonPost Avatar

    For me personally, pretty often. Doesn’t have to be everyday, but for sure most days.

  64. Doomestos1 Avatar

    I have a high libido, would love to have it daily, hah.

  65. IckaBrat Avatar

    I wish I could have sex daily or every other day, but it seems like its a couple times a week.

  66. JakeJarvisPharmD Avatar

    As often as it feels natural, but I would say once every 1-2 weeks. There’s always the caveat that me and her are into things that are sexual but not sex, like, penetration (oral, masturbating together, masturbating along while the other watches or encourages, watching poem together, and so on). If we’re doing those sorts of things, then I could go a few months without desiring actual intercourse.

  67. hipsterasshipster Avatar

    My wife and I have sex 3-4 times a week. It’s a good number.

  68. jodedorrr Avatar

    Been married for 15 years about 3-4 times a week.

  69. _Ath_ul Avatar

    Almost daily

  70. surefirerdiddy Avatar

    So many low libido people in here. Good for you that it’s not a big deal but that’s never been my experience and doubt it ever will be. It must be nice actually

  71. didoqueenofthieves Avatar

    Whenever he’s in the mood 

  72. Dependent_Layer9217 Avatar

    Once a week. We’ve been together for 14 years. Quality over quantity. There’s been times where there was more (a few times a day), and times where there was less (once a month). Long term relationships of over a decade have an ebb and flow when it comes to sex. There are times when you’re more in love with each other, and times where you’re better friends. Sometimes there’s more sex, sometimes there’s more intimacy. It’s a very normal thing.

  73. Adventurous_Bad5540 Avatar

    At least a few times a week, tho I’d love to do it every day

  74. Leodgreat1 Avatar

    If it’s up to me a couple times a day, but since it doesn’t work that way it’s up to her. 😂

  75. Death_has_relaxed_me Avatar

    No quotas or limits. You fuck as much as you both like to.

  76. executingsalesdaily Avatar

    Need not sure. Want to? About 3-5 times a week.

  77. Sabetsu Avatar

    I never *need* it but it’d be nice at a minimum of once every two weeks for me personally.

  78. Acoustic_Screams Avatar

    Obviously it depends on both partners libido/drive.

    I’d say that (even though its a joke) it usually depends on the woman. And/or if you’re married, have kids, or are in general a busy person with work or other activities. Also you and your partners age, religion… etc.

    Typically its around 1 – 4 times a month I’d say as a guesstimate for a middle aged couple with a kid or two.

    I’m sorry for the rambling. Hope I didn’t bore any of yall!

  79. Darkschlong Avatar

    I told her at lest 3 times a day while we were dating and it haven’t changed

  80. SpankThuMonkey Avatar

    Ideally? A couple of good ones per week.

    Minimum once a week.

    I am currently below that minimum.

  81. caffeine_nation Avatar

    This has fluctuated over the years. But at 50, I would say my preference would be 5 or 6 times a week. But in reality I think I’m OK with closer to 3 or 4. However, most guys I’ve dated have thought once or twice was fine. 😭

  82. HotPocketFullOfHair Avatar

    Over time I started to patch things up with my father. I would say we now have a really healthy relationship. We’ve never had sex.

  83. Lovealltigers Avatar

    My boyfriend and I used to do it 2-3 times a week but my dad recently died so it’s gone down to maybe once every other week. I’m hoping that once I get through the initial shock/depression of it that I’ll be back to having a higher libido, but it’s just not happening right now

    I’m also a person who can’t have any stressors really or I’m completely taken out of the moment, and he’s been making some not-so-great financial decisions lately so that’s contributed to it as well

  84. Ministrelle Avatar

    Ideally every other day or so. Minimally at least once every two weeks or so. If it starts to get into monthly territory without an actual reason, I’ll probably go look for someone else.

  85. XihuanNi-6784 Avatar

    2-3 times a week is golden. If we’re busy I could honestly do once a week tbh. I tend to be a giver so sex is a lot of work for me lol. But I get off watching her get off so I think me being ‘selfish’ regarding frequency is fair play.

  86. Doesntmatter1237 Avatar

    I would have sex every day if I could. My girlfriend is more like a, 0-3 times a year type

  87. Ok-Lettuce5983 Avatar

    depends on the phase of my cycle; if i’m in ovulation or luteal phase i’ll say every other day; if i’m in the follicular phase don’t touch me but sometimes i get randy if i don’t get cramps

  88. mls-cheung Avatar

    All day and all night. And usually people with this answer would never meet that person. I think.

    When she dosen’t have a headache… which funny enough its very often after having kids…

  90. lostingtb Avatar

    Some weeks 4 times, some weeks 2 times, sometimes once a week, you never know, its super personal

  91. Commercial_Affect660 Avatar

    I want to do it 2 times a day at least. But my wife’s libido is dead (she’s 26). She just wants to cuddle and kiss.

  92. BlackOperatorSteele Avatar

    At least 5-12 times a week.

    If not, 2-5 week.

  93. Fast-Researcher5298 Avatar

    I want it everyday, my wife want it once in two years

  94. 2Scarhand Avatar

    That is entirely dependent on the people in the relationship.

  95. xRelentlessDeadx Avatar

    I don’t feel like I “need” sex. But that’s likely because my relationship with my wife has been incredibly healthy for 14 years. Sexless marriages (relationships) are rarely one person’s fault. What I tell most men in my life who ask me about this I usually tell them the first step to fixing this issue is buying a mirror and evaluating themselves. We often forget that women crave intimacy differently from men. We can’t just show them our ankles and expect them to be ready to rumble the way we are.

    honestly i need loads lol like i’m such a touchy-feely girl it’s actually unreal… it just makes me feel proper close to someone y’know? but every couple’s different, some are fine without it all the time, some are like me n need it constantly. as long as you’re both into it and can chat about it, that’s what matters really 💕

    Honestly every weekend

  102. Whole_Instance_4276 Avatar

    At least once a week preferably, but I could go less if partner doesn’t want it as much

  103. Blindrafterman Avatar

    10 yearly sexual encounters with your partner(or less) is the clinical definition of a sexless relationship…so more than that.

  104. Imasayitnow Avatar

    Been married 18 years. At one point a few years back it was monthly at best. That wasn’t nearly enough for me so we talked it all out. Now probably 3x a week, which is almost enough lol. But compromises ya know? Incidentally, we’re definitely closer now and more affectionate outside of the bedroom. Overall, 9 outta 10 development

    Bro my last partner had medical issues happen that killed our bedroom, i stuck it out for 4 years. I dont think i could do that again. I was starting to resent her, and i didnt like that about myself. My primal brain was like “but she’s better now, why doesnt she want me?” And it was really a “i dont want anyone anymore right now, dont even touch me.” And no matter of therapy, service, acts of love, boundary respect, patience could fix their mentality towards it. And i stayed for a while hoping it would get better. Then one day i realized in like a reddit quote “dont wait around for people that dont want you.” And that was a mixed bag decision for me. Im still healing from it because every relationship before that i was just used for sex, no one wanted to be in a relationship with me. They thought video games and nerd shit sucked. And any girl with those hobbies were taken already that i met. Makes it hard for me to let people in anymore emotionally. But im glad i found myself through that journey.

  107. uvuvwevwedossas Avatar

    I used to have a gf who would come super fast, so it was easy to do it twice a day. Now I have a gf that takes so long to climax, it’s quite a workout for me lol. Once a day is what I want but some days I am really tired lol. 3-4 timer per week is enough.

  108. HashGirl Avatar

    If I had the option, 3 – 5 times a week, but then they would need to be sessions longer than 15 to 20 mins with plenty of foreplay for both sides.

  109. 1982LikeABoss Avatar

    Depends. I am pretty much ready every day. The missus once or twice per week

  110. RoxoRoxo Avatar

    well the average for a married couple last i heard was1x a month, divorce rates are 40-50%

    so more than 1x a month wouldnt hurt

  111. raptorspok Avatar

    There isn’t any obligation or rule for this, it’s all about the mood and the flow of emotions between eachother.

    Read the room, pay attention and always be the best man you can for your loved one.

    That will help you get the number you are looking for.

  112. One_Culture8245 Avatar

    It’s whenever we want it for us, rather if it’s 1 day that week or 6 days. It varies.

  113. snashie Avatar

    If in good health, low stress…. everyday.

    Otherwise a day or 2 break to heal is ok
