We talk a lot about how often you'd like to have sex if you could have it as often as you want. But how often do you NEED it? How long can you go before a lack of sex actually starts to affect your mood and interactions. Where it gets to a point that when you finally have sex you can feel the stress evaporate and everything is better.

Three days and I'm climbing the walls!

And I haven't even hit my sex peak, yet.

Oh my! :rolleyes:

 

I masturbate often and I agree with Julie here...it's not the same.

Hmm....for me it varies. I notice that during different times of the year my desire fluctuates. In addition, the closer I am to my period--the more I want it.

 

All in all...in average...LOL I'd like to have it every day--or some form of sex. I masturbate probably every other day--sometimes I do more..sometimes I do less.

 

As for needing it--I notice that every 2 or 3 days is it for me.

As for my wonderful hubby--he really NEEDS it when we have hit a dry spell---then he is all over me. (not that I'm complaining) I love it when he is like that !

I think I need to book myself into that sex addict's clinic Mr's Douglas and Duchovny used . . .

I would have to say every other day fits the bill nicely. But as far as wanting it, that's a whole new can of worms, lol.

...I've known them - I was married to one... Folks who can go a couple of weeks and then only give in because their spouse it at risk for throwing out a shoulder - or developing a nasty case of carpal tunnel...

 

I am not that guy. For me, I think that I would be going crazy after a couple of days. I agree with those of you above - masturbation is good and "handy" (pun intended), but it just isn't the same kind of release. I honestly think more than the obvious benefits of sex, just the emotional connection is something that, if I don't have it, really starts affecting my mood.

For me if all else is going well then if I hit a week without it I start getting stressed.... at two weeks I'm about insane and once I get it you will see major improvement in my attitude.

 

A lot depends on everything else tho. If I'm in a relationship and not happy then the need for sex drops in some ways. The release itself is still good but the effects don't last nearly as long.

There is definitely a point where I start to be affected by a lack of sex. I get grumpy and irritable...sometimes I don't even realize what was wrong until I have sex again. Then it is like "ohhhh...that's what the problem was" ... like Julie said, all the stress melts away and I feel ok again. When I get to that point, masturbation is not going to do it for me. It is like needing to eat a nourishing meal and all you have is a donut.

 

If I didn't have sex for a week I might not notice if I was really busy with other things. If I was thinking about sex all week though, I would definitely start getting irritable at that point, if not sooner. Two weeks and there's no question that it would affect me.

 

Our schedules can be very busy and there is often not enough time for sex in a day. Three times a week is about perfect for me with masturbation in between. Anything more than that is just unrealistic anyway for us...we probably average about twice a week.

 

Have any of you ever noticed that sometimes people when they're not having sex on a regular basis might start acting weird or kind of bitter? I really think it is because of a lack of sex. I think I was like that when I was single and didn't have a girlfriend. I don't think its good for people to go without sex for too long.

I feel the need for sex daily, and yes if I don't get it I do have a change in my attitude. I will masturbate frequently, sometimes 3-4 times in a day, if I'm in a long dryspell. It does help, but, its not the same relief as having good sex. The wife sometimes goes for 3 weeks without wanting sex, mostly due to a hectic work schedule. When she is tired out, its like clicking a switch. Where as, I am still craving sex, even when exhausted. Guess tht's a guy thing, will always trade sleep for sex.

I didn't vote because I don't really know but I thought after posting in another thread about this I should come here and post something.

 

With Ted being gone throughout the week we only have sex on the weekends. I do know that on the rare occasions that he is gone through the week and over the weekend and I can't go be with him I tend to get very depressed and more bitchy on the second week he's gone. Still not sure if it's just because I miss him or miss having sex. I rarely masturbate when he's gone, unless it's phone sex with him or playing on the web cam together.

 

So maybe I NEED him (sex without Ted involved in one way or another is pointless to me, I know I'm weird, lol) at least every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

My husband and I only recently noticed that we both can only go 2-3 days. We noticed that around the same times of the week, we'd start snapping at each other and just getting plain ol mean and b!tchy. Then we'd do it and poof! its gone. I think its great that our drives are about equal. But between work and kids, we don't always get satisfied when we need to, so now we just look at each other and say Hey A$$hole.. go get laid! hehehe

Ok, I'm feeling a little selfish now after claiming that I "need" sex once a week and then reading about how thousands of our military are now NOT coming back from Iraq after a year, as the government had originally promised them. These people won't, for the most part, be having sex or anything else very nice in their lives for a while. I hope this doesn't sound cornball, but it never hurts to stop and appreciate what you have, and appreciate the people who are making big sacrifices for us all.

For those of us who used to be on submarines and underwater for 75 days at a time , well, sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands if you cannot get anything else. Other than that I now say about every 2-3 days.

 

And yes, please remember your servicemen and women. They need your thoughts every day.

I don't know if this is important, but I am less horny now then when I was younger. I like to fool around a little everyday, but when the moon is full and the beast comes out and I want to do it until the cows come home.

I did not vote because I really would not know. I have been having sex from age 15 and I am now 28. I always had regular sex so I know for sure that once a week is enough without me 'needing' to have more.

 

I think that for a period that I am not in love with someone I can easily forget about sex but I don't know for how long.

 

With my husband it creates an extra bond to have sex so once a week would be a minimum. (Okay now I can vote :D )

 

Kiss!

I don't know about the whole psychology of it, but I know physiologically if I go more than 5 days or so my balls start to ache. I know I can just take care of that with Mr. Lefty, but I'd rather not.

 

I think her answer would be more psychological. If she goes more than three days or so, she gets really, REALLY horny and has to masterbate 2 or 3 times before she can sleep.

 

Needless to say, barring business trips or anything this is usually not a problem.

I would love sex everyday but my body doesn't at times, I have a very physical job and it drains me. But if someone asks me in the morning that would work, some don't ask for it so.....Or even in the middle of the night, used to like that...Just give me a little jump start it works wonders......

Mrs. K

 

 

Oh my goodness...I thought I was the only one...I can't get enough either....and if I can't get to D2...that is when I get the "bitchy' groove going that so many people think is what P.M.S. (pre-menstrual syndrome) is all about. I think P.M.S. should stand for (pleasure me sweetie!!!!). When he does... I hardly have a bitchy moment.

 

As for me... while I was away I didn't really get horny because the object of my desire was here (and I was boarding with my MOM...that will kill almost any sexual drive...lol). But...the day before I was due home all of a sudden the object of my desire was going to be in reach and I was going nuts!!!!

 

I stayed home from the "tour" and took care of myself (manicure, hair color and masturbating) and watched porno all day. Thank god I put the lock on the door because my Mom came back early and I was just getting into round ... well...let's just say...getting in touch again... ;)

 

I felt like a teenager ...lmao...

 

and now that I am home... Sweetie, drink lots of water...Sweetie, drink lots of water...Sweetie, drink lots of water...Sweetie, drink lots of water...and get your rest...you will need it!

Well now, we seem to be exact opposite. I am the one that needs sex every day if not more than once a day. I masturbate 4-5 times a day and need (honest to god, need) sex at the very least twice a day... at least in the morning first thing and at night.... anything in between works wonders for me. If I don't get it... well I don't say I get grumpy or bitchy but I do get quiet and reserved... and I seem to have a lot less energy if I go without.

I would be so happy if I were able to get it twice a day! :)

 

Unfortunately...my husband would pass out from exhaustion if we did it that often. Oh well, a girl can dream.

Assuming of course, you don't count masturbation.

Once a day minimal; including the "M" word!

My hubby works shift work, and our work schedules don't line up right. For instance, last night was the first time in a month.

 

I just had my last day at work yesterday before we move, so I'm hopeful that things will pick up. (pun intended)

 

I personally have toys that I play with daily. My hubby masturbates as well. And yes, we stay tense a lot of the time. I keep sane telling myself that it is quality over quantity. Complete nirvana will be when I can have both. Yum!

Ideally is 3 days on, 1 day off, 3 days on, 1 day off, etc. etc.

Being bi is an awful thing I have found, one day I crave a cock, like today, my nipples feel like bursting just thinking about it. Then I want a pussy, to eat, to love, to pleasure, or maybe both at the same time, the cock nicely marinated with pussy juice.

 

Or eating a hot woman, while having a cock deep inside me. I thought getting old will bring it all to an end, but that is not the case, fitness has a lot to do with it too.

 

We used to spoon often, when going to sleep, now my SO sleeps in the spare room, because of her monstrous snoring. I put up with it for 2 years, losing soooo much sleep.

 

Now sex is getting less and less, for one reason or another. To the younger set I can only say, stay fit, and make love whenever possible, without being selfish.

Every other day would be ideal as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think that is weird at all - I think it is great! Sex for me without my wife Carol involved would be beyond pointless - it would be sad and empty. I hope (and expect) never to have sex without her involved ever again.

Ideally I would like it every day. Schedules and kids don't always allow that. We usually have it 2 or more times a week. Just go with the flow and enjoy it when I get it.

2-3 times per week would be perfect - however, I don't start to get cranky until it becomes less than 1/week.

Interesting question Julie. I find that I'd like to have sex almost every day. The horny thoughts creep into my mind with the least provacation ie: nice legs, great tush, beautiful eyes, nice boobs ..... yikes! I did it to myself. Seasons make a difference too, 'cause there are different triggers. But generally, I'm like you. If I can have a jolly rogering about once a week, I'm fine. :D If it goes to two weeks, well, it has a noticable affect :sad: and longer than that is when I'm spending a lot more time on line and typing with one hand. ;)

I like it 2 to 3 time a week. That really works for me. Everyday would not work for me. Sometimes I need a day to recuperate down below. S/O would like it 2 or 3 times a day, the poor thing :nono: . There was a time when it was everyday but those times are over and are called college years when we went to class and partied now I have to go work. I tried to keep up with the 2 or 3 times /wk. It's weird because i think about sex many times throughout the day.

      My ex-wife and I were in the lifestyle for several years, and then unfortunately found out she had been cheating (several times in college, and two separate affairs during our marriage) during our entire 10-year relationship, even while we were swingers (but never with other swingers). Took me a long time to reflect on what happened, how I may have contributed, questioned swinging, etc. It took me some time and many of my friends to help me realize she had a LOT of issues, and still does.
       
      I was concerned there could be the possibility my ex-wife would try to accuse me of something false related to our swinging (I made her do it, etc.) that would eventually reveal my past to my new wife. Honestly, I approached the lifestyle with my ex-wife as a gift to her - it was all for her, not myself; I learned a lot about myself, and thought we had completely open, honest, and loving communication, never pushing each other to do something and always respecting our decisions made together as a couple, and truly thought it was improving our marriage. I give you that backstory to tell you my current story…
       
      I’m remarried to an incredible woman, and could go on for days how amazing and stunning she truly is…we’re both devout Christians and attend church regularly. A few months before I proposed (she knew it was coming, ring picked out, etc.), I made it a point to be completely honest with her and tell her about my past in the lifestyle with my ex-wife, no details, just the blunt fact. I’m honest to a fault and deeply believe I owed my now wife the entire truth, especially in case my ex- decided to falsely accuse me of something related to our lifestyle involvement.
       
      She didn’t take it very well, she was very disgusted and felt taken advantage of, etc., and I actually thought at one point she wouldn’t accept my proposal. It took a little while, but we finally worked through it, but not after some very specific questions she had about it all…which I tried very hard to still vaguely side-step (going into steamy sex details about an ex- with your current girlfriend isn’t exactly wise course of action).
       
      My current wife is more reserved and conservative in her beliefs, but popular and stylish, and not at all a prude. She immediately denounced swinging and asked if I wanted her to do the same, pictured me doing all these gross orgies with ugly people, etc…typical mainstream misconceptions and misunderstandings of what the lifestyle really is…and I explained it to her. She’s not the most confident woman in bed, part of her reserved side, but I’ve been trying to get her out of her sexual shyness shell so to speak for a while.
       
      But for the past couple years, year of engagement and year of marriage, our sex frequency has gone down considerably, almost seems like she’s disinterested. I have to initiate sex all the time, she never does oral (giving or receiving) or any other foreplay, and she makes it seem like a task to get done and over with most of the time. [side note, she’s performed oral on me once, while she was on her period because she felt obligated, which I stopped her and told her she didn’t have to just because of that and felt she HAD to please me, I’m a gentleman, and not selfish. She took it as I didn’t like how she was doing it, so she claims to this day…]
       
      It worries me, and I’ve brought up my frustrations a couple times and she actually listened, but nothing really has changed, she hasn’t opened up and communicated or appear to feel more comfortable during sex. There have been extremely brief glimpses of hope at times though (before I discussed my frustration)… like when I was trying to skirt details of explaining the lifestyle, I did ask her about her sexual history and if she had ever had a one night stand before, which she did admit to me she’s had one (so at least one, maybe more, which was a encouraging in my opinion) and I was merely relating the similarity to swinging that sex can be for fun and just for sex and to help her see that her desires are not so far off from a swinging couples, it’s along the same lines and even better if you consider the open communication.
       
      Another occasion, she initiated and for once acted like a sex goddess one night we stayed at a friend's house after drinks, wouldn’t let me get up without fucking her, she was vocal, passionate, wild, it was incredible…but she did have some drinks in her. Another - she tried to get me to have sex in a public bathroom when we were out with a bunch of friends once (work friends mind you), which I wasn’t really into and said no…which she got upset and accused me of swinging but I wouldn’t do that with her…caught me off guard a little and made me wonder her real intent for wanting to in the first place, testing me or truly acting on exhibitionism impulse.
       
      With these examples, I’d like to think there’s a sexually free woman in there somewhere, at least I hope, she just doesn’t communicate about this kind of stuff very well, and I really hope her knowledge of my past doesn’t make her feel more inadequate or insecure in bed. If anything, I had hoped it would open her up to feel more comfortable in expressing her desires and sexual prowess with me, but it has definitely not.
       
      I am not trying to get her to be a swinger, and won’t ever bring that up, ever, but I do want to have that same open communication and comfort sexually with just her that I learned from the lifestyle, complete and respectful open honest dialogue about what we both want, like, dislike, etc. I do want her to feel desire and comfort initiating sex on her own more confidently. I just don’t know where to start or how to approach…which is why I’m here, asking some old lifestyle friends for any sage advice or ideas that maybe I’m not thinking of or haven’t tried yet.

      The very 1st time...
      Was it exciting, nerve racking, defeating?
       
      What was the conversation after the fact, did it effect you two negatively?
      Also did you discuss it before it happened?
       
      We are new and I am just unsure how it will effect me and/or her.
      She has been with 3 other guys since we started about 3/4 months ago.
      I have not had to deal with the above question yet, so looking for some insight from others.
    • By let's do it again
      Just finished watching a YouTube video about the O and P shot, I had never heard of this. This is for middle aged men and women where a doctor uses a vial of your own blood,spins it and takes the platelets to inject back into the clitoris or the penis to improve blood flow. The doctor who did the video said she gets this treatment about every 9 months. She recommends this for people having problems with ED problems or orgasm difficulties.  So, have you heard of this or have you had this treatment?
    • By Valha
      Hi, Mr. V. here. We have enjoyed some limited play experiences, some great, some so so, and Mrs. V all of a sudden is wanting to put swinging on hold and here's her reasoning why- She says that so far, none of the sex is as good as she has it with me so she's asking "what's the point?". I say because I've enjoyed watching her getting pleased from a new perspective and enjoy her coming back to me, and I've enjoyed new experiences and coming back to her. We've had great 'reclamation sex' too so I cited that as a reason. Is she expecting too much? Maybe we need to be a lot more selective in partners?
      Anyways, I welcome your thoughts on this and how you would answer her question "if sex is so much better with my spouse, why swing at all?"
    • By foozballnow
      In your experience with swinging, either being the guy yourself, or the woman experiencing it, when does the guy normally cum? Do you have the woman perform oral and cum through there so you last longer for sex? Do you let the woman get you started with oral but only cum during sex? Or do you skip oral completely and just cum through sex. Normally we cum through sex, but sometimes the girl is really good at oral so I (male) don't know to make her stop or let it go...Just curious what the rest of you do in a similar situation.
