I'll come out and say it - you're not normal. But who cares? You're happy, he's happy, and, especially in this case, that's what matters! Have fun!

Your normal may not be his normal. Just like common sense is not all that common.
My husband and I have sex almost everyday.
Almost Monday, almost Tuesday, almost Wednesday......

You are normal.
So are they.
The range of normal is vast.
Very very few people are at the ends of the spectrum of normal.

You may be a bit unusual, especially if you have young children
and are on your feet busy-busy-busy all day.
But certainly you are normal.

Also, though you didn't ask, I'll share my opinion that
at least some of the women who don't like sex are one or more of . . .
- too tired and/or depressed and/or angry with their husbands
- haven't ever had a motivated careful lover
- haven't learned to explore and tune into
their own responses and arousal data

I could say more but will stop there.

You're probably not common, but I don't think the word "normal" is relevant. Your husband should be happy.

I wish I had your sex drive. Apparently more sex makes you live longer. You go, girl!

(I have a vague memory, many many moons ago, of having that much sex, usually in the first couple months of a relationship, but, sigh, oh well...)

That sounds like my normal from 5 years ago. I am hoping to go back to normal in another 5 years. Drat those kids. They can suck the energy right out of you. = )

There is no normal.

I have been married for 13+ years and we have a great sex life...I would rather be woken up in the middle of the night, than not! ;)

Enjoy it while you can...that's what I have been told and that is what I am gonna do!

answers from Atlanta on

That is a really high sex drive! I love sex, and I definitely used to like it more when I was younger and didn't have kids, but I still enjoy it -however I've never wanted to have it every single day -especially more than once -except for those times when a relationship was brand new -on vacation -etc. I don't like to label people "normal" or "abnormal" though when it comes to healthy, adult, consensual sex. How old are you? Women typically go through sexual phases in life. When you're very young, you may be far more "sexed up" than other times, but we seem to hit some peaks around our late 20s/early 30s and then again in our early to mid 40s. If hubby gets tired, get a vibrator -they're wonderful and really take the edge off!

answers from Cincinnati on

My hubby and I were like that when we were dating and younger....From the age of 21 to 25 or 26 we had sex at least twice a day (morning and night)...on the weekends it was up to 4 times. Then it tapered off around the age of 26ish after we had been married for 3 years. Now we are 34 and are religious about once a week at least..but we are still pretty good for 2 or 3 times per week...Koodos to you and your hubby!!!

answers from Allentown on

Hi, J.:
You say your husband doesn't mind?
If he doesn't mind, why does he say you are not normal?
You need to go back and talk to your husband and talk about this situaion honestly and openly.
Good luck.

answers from Kansas City on

I love it. Great question. I probably think about having sex every day, and to be honest I'd LIKE to have sex every day, but there's just no way. I'm so stinking tired at the end of the day that it just doesn't happen that often anymore. Before kids I was right there with you, but now, not so much! You go, though! Keep it up--maybe I can be you one day again!

answers from Provo on

I LOVE sex. pretty much I could do it several times a day like you. Some women have little or now drive, some have a moderate drive, and some have a high sex drive. It just depends on the women and hormones that are going on. Don't stress about it. Everyone is different.

I am JUST LIKE YOU!!! My hubby is the one telling me that he doesn't want it! I tell him he's the weird one, and that most men would be thrilled to have a wife that wants it as much as I do! (I could also do it every day/multiple times a day.) Anyways...it just has to figure that we both marry men who aren't the "typical" man... :) Good luck!

You may not be completely normal (what is normal anyway), but you are very lucky! As long as hubby is on the same track, than all is good. Who cares what is normal anyway, normal is boring.

answers from Rochester on

Totally normal! I think people stereotype that men are "always" interested and "always" thinking about it, when they get tired and distracted just like women do. I certainly would love to do that every day (or several times a day) but try to be realistic and consider it good when we can 4 or 5 times a week (less lately I think because I'm almost 5 months pregnant and I know it starts to get less comfortable for my husband). We have been married almost 7 years, have never been with other people, and also have a 2 year old and almost 4 year old (boys!). We both get pretty tired working opposite schedules and sharing child care, but sex is sex which means it is pretty important! :)

My husband sometimes jokes that I want to have sex all the time. I jokingly tell him he should have married someone who wasn't so attracted to him. There is nothing wrong or unusual about you. I never care how tired I am, either. I'd rather be woken up in the middle of the night than not, so I don't relate to women who say they are too tired. (I think once or twice I have been, but I recover quickly!) You might be in a minority but there is nothing abnormal! :)

I used to be the same way... My SO loved it though! lol. I have slowed down a lot though since having my DD 6 months ago... I need sleep more than I need sex any more! lol. Plus, it doesn't really help that we just moved in with the in-laws, so with his sister in the next room and his parents across the hall, we don't do it nearly as much as either of us would like. lol.

answers from Philadelphia on

It's normal. My husband and I had sex 3-5 times a day that is until we started working oppisite shifts. Now its like 3-4 times a week I don't mind though because the times we do have sex is just simply amazing.

answers from Harrisburg on

Normal is what's "normal" to you. I think you like having sex more than the average woman. I don't know how old you are but if you're very young then it would be closer to the average. The older you get the less sex you tend to want or need, lol. Other things come into play like having kids, marriage, job and so on, that can diminish sex drive as well. But yes, your needs are above average but if you're not stepping out of the relationship to satify yourself and your husband is fine with it, who's to say your wrong! LOL

This question and answers made my day :)

Normal changes with your life and your hormones and how busy you are and how many kids and diapers there are to tend to, and if you're pregnant and nursing, and if he 's traveling, and if you're sick, or he's sick, or the kids are sick...

In my 20's = about 2xday was normal.
In my 30's = about 1x day was normal.
In my 40's = about 1-2 x week was normal.
In my 50's = about 1-2 x month is normal, would like to more often, but hubby's not home enough.

Enjoy each and every minute of it Kidsmommy :) Fill your body and mind with this fabulously healthy bonding.

Did your husband say you are 'not normal' based on what he hears from others? From prior experience with other girlfriends? His comment seems a bit condescending, so I hope this does not become a sexual power struggle used against you.

And sadly there are women who have medical conditions where sex is not enjoyable. I understand you cannot relate, but I hope you can sympathize.

answers from Los Angeles on

You are most definately normal. I have always been that way and now that I'm pregnant I want it even more! Don't worry about it, if anything it's a very good thing! My hubby used to tell me the same thing yours does, expect now I'm into ''other'' sexual things and that has gotten my hubby so hot now he wants to have sex with me everyday! I would say sex is even better now that I'm pregnant!
