What? 10 or more times in the past day? If someone does that, sex is either part of their ā€œprofessionā€ or they probably need an intervention, and if it is a normal daily quota professional (medical) help.

Wait until you’re married. Then you can change ā€˜day’ into ā€˜year.’ :wink:

I’ll be candid and maybe I’m oversharing or setting myself up for some mockery. But I’ve been married a decade and have sex about once every 3 weeks, maybe once a month at times. I don’t think that’s unusual for people in my age group who have been married for more than a few years and have kids who keep them pretty busy. More than 10 times a month? I don’t think I even got laid that much in my 20s. Maybe for very short periods at the beginning of a new relationship but overall most people just aren’t that randy (or lucky) all the time.

It’s this old saying, about meeting your new partner in your 20’s and stay together for the rest of your life… Every time having sex during your first year together take a penny and put it into a jar, for the following 60 years take out a penny from the jar for every time you get busy together, and you will still have spare change left at the end…

10 times a month.. yea when I was in my early 20s. And eventually even that stopped as that gf got fat.

I used to work three jobs, elementary school during the day, cram school in the evening, and then online classes late at night. What kept my energy up wasn’t free time; it was the… At least twice a day and on weekends it would be all day sessions (maybe 10 times a day with different girls.) - I had one girlfriend in Kaohsiung another in Taoyuan and another in Hsinchu. I would drive to Kaohsiung on the Friday night, Taoyuan in the morning and then stop at Hsinchu on the way home and bring the third to my place.

Now that I’m married it’s still regular, but naturally when you have kids around 24/7 you don’t have those all day sessions.

We’re mostly adults here, I think the ones deserving of mockery are those overcompensating in the other direction with strangers online…

I answered honestly. If someone reads that as overcompensation, that probably says more about them than it does about me.

Any half good looking foreign guy who comes to Asia in their early 20s would relate.

If you arrived too old then that’s on you.

Thank you for posting, because for me this seems normal, and from what DrewC was saying it was putting me off marriage and kids etc. But try not to get dragged into the mud slinging of personal attacks, eh guys? Thanks also, @DrewC and others for sharing. I guess like you say,

@PeiHua-Connie Yes, interesting article, thank you for sharing. It’s clearly a very complicated issue, and the article does a good job of going into some of the broad range of experiences with HRT.

As far as the direction the discussion has gone in this thread (partly thanks to the 10 times a day original title, thank you whovever fixed that, @PeiHua-Connie were you click-baiting us? :slight_smile: ), sex is obviously only part of most relationships, but how big a part it plays varies across relationships. Compatible libidos can be very important. As long as the people involved can find ways to all have their needs met without making the other partner(s) uncomfortable, then we’re all good.

But therein lies the rub. If things can’t be worked out then sex could become a big part of the relationship for the wrong reasons, becoming pernicious or even dramatically rupturous. And is the relationship where sex does not play such a big role therefore better, or are passionate but tempestuous relationships worth it? (Of course it’s possible to be passionate in other ways.) Again it’s a matter of personal choice, with no one able to proscribe answers to anyone else (although religions and societies have tried and are still trying to).

Interesting in the article that some of those interviewed said they didn’t feel themselves. I would be interested in how much libido is a product of genetics, environment, and personal choice, although that’s preobably going off topic. Also whether us high libido types are ā€œfreaksā€ who

or whether we’re part of a normal spectrum in a similar way to neurodivergency. There’s a certain species of ape that I often feel has a better way of doing things than us, but maybe I shouldn’t go there either.

I get that not everyone relates. Some chapters only make sense if you’ve actually lived them.

The gap between rounds is what matters most

It’s obviously both. But if you’re lasting…

Based on the realities I think we can all say there was some (a lot of) exaggeration going on there.

You gotta date most of the girls too, that takes forever and gets boring. There are ā€˜opportunities’ of women who just want to give u a free one but they are few and far between and they seem to disappear as soon as they appear too.
