I have been married for 1.5 years. My husband and I have sex about once a week. We are also very affectionate towards each other often in other ways. However I feel that once a week is not enough and my husband seems to think that It is alot more than other couples he knows. I feel that it is a lot less than other couples especially for newly weds. Also, I feel that I am always the one to initiate sex.

But help me out. What is the reality? Does once a week seem normal. Or is there enven a normal.

By the way I am new to MB

SCF:

Assuming that you are both young (you didn't give your ages), once per week for sex is definitely not normal for "normal" people.

Whatever is normal for you is normal! However, the issue of one spouse finding their "normal" is not their mate's "normal" is also very normal. (Lots of "normal" in that reply! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> )

This is something which the two of you need to discuss and reach an agreement on. The questionaire about EN might be a good starting point.

Good Luck!
