Married couples over 40. How many times a week do you have sex?

Truthfully now. My wife of 42 is suggesting to me once a week is enough and above average.Married couples over 40. How many times a week do you have sex?
Average frequency for 40-49 year olds in America is 69 times per year that's 5.7 times a month.Married couples over 40. How many times a week do you have sex?
2-3 times a week. We are both 49. Pre-menapause is tough on a woman's libido. My fiance' is going through it and it has reduced her's at least a little bit.





Remember it is not all about you. She has needs too. One of her needs may be to be loved without being pressured to have sex every morning and night. Sex is only a part of a relationship. Try doing something to help the rest of your relationship with your wife and the sex part will improve. Bring her flowers or take her to a play and a nice evening out. Surprise her in some special ways.
I think it depends on the couple and many other factors, such as....how is the relationship doing overall, are there any health issues that might contribute to a lower sex-drive, etc. Assuming all is well, I would say you're probably a little below average. My husband is 58 and I'm 53 and we manage to have sex at least twice a week, sometimes 3 or 4, and we are dealing with a health issue as well.
The problem is there's no real exact number... each person is an individual so it really depends on their own libido and interest. Some women in their 40s actually are a lot more sexually active because they may have gotten a more permanent form of birth control and have no worries of getting pregnant so therefore they're much more active. On the other hand both sexes can lose their interest very early. While some of these could be physical or chemical imbalances sometimes are just ideology. I knew one woman who had two children and afterwords said that was it wasn't interested in sex anymore since it was only for producing children. You have to really get down to the issue of why your wife is suggesting this is this just something she saw on TV talk show or some real deep down reason she feels your above average.

It really depends on each relationship . Some times stress takes over or you just don't feel the need. Talk to her and tell her you miss the closeness but you understand how stressed or tired she is. set the mood once in awhile but don't always lead it to sex. At this age we want to feel desired but not demanded to have sex.


Write little notes but not lead to sex etc. Play it as your starting to date again. Let her know you love her in simple ways to turn her on.
Once week is never enough and is only above average if you are dead.


Married couples should have sex as often as possible, no matter what their ages are. We don't have a set number of times a week, but I try to make sure it's at least three times a week. I think that is ';average'; for American couples who have been married more than one year.
We are both 45 been married 22 years. At this moment my husband works about 3 1/2 hours away, so he is gone about 3 - 5 days a week (the kids and I will move there next year if we can sell our house. They're in high school and not thrilled, oh well). It does crimp the sex life.





We still manage to have sex at least 2 times a week, up to 3 or 4 some weeks. Before the economy went south and when he was home more, we probably had sex almost everyday some weeks and every other day if we were both really busy. I sometimes want sex more than him at this point. My sex drive kicked in about 10 years ago and has not slowed down yet - not sure why.
Me; myself, usually try to have it at least twice a week and I do believe that is about normal for people in the 40-50 age group, sounds more like your wife wants to cut back on sex with you and is using that as a excuse. Talk it out with her and let her know that you'd like it more than what she says.
At around 3 times a week, give or take a few. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Give enough time to recharge in between. Food taste way better on an empty stomach.


Edit: I would like to make a $200.00 cash reward between us on who can withhold hot sex the longest, without giving in or losing self control for about 4 weeks or a month without.
I would like to have the works at least once a week but, I am lucky to get it once a month. Never if it was up to her.
it depends on your schedules and time. sometimes once 2 a week sometimes all day many times. Our kids are adults and not living at home so we run around naked.
Maybe 1 time is enough for a husband, but with a boyfriend, that is another story ;)
i'm 52, and my woman is 32, we get some every day. try different ways places, roll playing, and bring in other gals for her.


play now while we can, i'm getting older.
I'm not 40, but I am getting there. I'd say we're 1-4 times a week. Once is ';enough'; for me, but I'd prefer a little more. The issue is not drive but hectic schedules.
Four times a week. I would like more. My libido hasn't been adversely affected by aging. I'm 46.
2-5 times.
I'm 42 and she is 41. 5 times a week on the average. Good Luck.
at least 3 times a week if not more in the average. but then again we enjoy each other immensely.
at least 3 times a week
Lucky if its twice a year, 44/40
once a week would be fine for me...if not too much...lol...women usually have a lower sex drive than men...especially as we get older..!!!
none!
dude im so there myself after 20years why did it stop now
